His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 599

She didn't want to overthink people's intentions too much. So, she never questioned Casper. Nor did she bad-mouth Summer. The hair incident? She could chalk it up to an accident. But it still turned her stomach. The bag was gorgeous, sure, but it killed her vibe. With flowers in one hand and the elegantly wrapped bag in the other, she made her way back to the living room. Casper was there, playing with their child, trying to make him giggle. When he saw her with the gift he had painstakingly put together, he flashed a hopeful grin, "Do you like it?" "The flowers? Absolutely," she replied.

"I'll make sure you get them every day from now on. I guess I dropped the ball on that before," he chuckled, a hint of guilt in his voice.

Eliza glanced up at him, her smile playful, "Did you ever send them before?"

Casper passed their son to the nanny, moving closer with a look that begged for her approval, "Let's not dwell on the past. What about the bag, do you like it?" "It's alright." She didn't want to elaborate.

Eliza headed upstairs, and Casper was right behind her. As soon as they stepped into the bedroom, he pinned her against the door and kissed her passionately... That perfume smell hit Eliza again, making her feel uneasy. She pushed him away, "That stinks."

Casper quickly went off to shower. But the orchid-like scent lingered for ages. It made her queasy, and she wouldn't let Casper get close.

"I showered, you know," he said, trying to cozy up to her.

Eliza pushed him away again, "Casper, didn't you used to hate perfume? How come now your secretary wears such strong stuff every day, and you're fine with it?" Casper was caught off guard, just as he was about to explain.
