His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 565

Dillon had always planned on leaving Casper and starting fresh once he got back from Africa. But when things went sideways in Casper, his plans went out the window. "Nah," he replied, trying to sound casual.

Caroline took another swig of her drink, too fast, and ended up coughing. Dillon quickly handed her a tissue. "Told you to take it easy with those drinks."

"I'm alright." She dabbed at her lips with the tissue. "Why don't you have a drink, too?"

"I think I'll head out," Dillon said, standing up, his demeanor still distant.
