His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 575

He quietly picked up the mask he'd just taken off, ready to put it back on, when Eliza snatched it away. "Casper, are you even listening to me? I'm not judging you. I just think... you could be so much more. Why not go for it?"

He didn't say a word, just stared blankly into space, lost in his own thoughts.

She gently held his face, making him meet her gaze. "Weren't you always so proud? Always thinking no one was on your level? Casper, where's that spark? How can you be that person if you don't heal? What woman would want to look at you like this?" "You wouldn't, would you?" His eyes, full of sadness, seemed ready to break.

Eliza: ...

Could Casper really be this vulnerable?

No, no, she must be dreaming.

"Is that what I meant? What I meant was..."

"Forget it." He lifted her off his lap and gently set her down, standing up to leave.

"I know they're not. No need to point it out." He pushed past her and walked out.

Eliza: ...

"I get it."
