His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 505

The little guy looked a bit confused for a moment, then nodded eagerly, "I want a sister."

"Last night, your mom and I were, well, you know, working on that for you," he said, trying to keep it simple, giving the kid a look that said, trust me, it's all for you. "That's not being mean, that's just putting in the effort." The little guy didn't quite get the grown-up stuff.

But he hated hearing his mom in pain.

"Can we make sure mom doesn't get hurt next time? If a sister comes from that, she might not be happy either."

"I promise."

He assured him that next time, the little guy wouldn't even hear a peep.

Poor Eliza, she was so easily embarrassed.

She might even have some lingering awkward feelings about this.

Eliza got herself dressed, tidied up the sleeping bag, and stepped out of the tent.
