His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 704

She wasn't sure what he was up to, turning her head away with a hint of annoyance. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"You said we needed some space to cool off. It's been a week, and I'm good now. How about you?"

Eliza's eyes, beautiful yet slightly furrowed, found it a bit amusing. "You're all cooled off? If I hadn't been here eating, if I hadn't bumped into you, Mr. Casper, would you still have cooled off? Would you still have come looking for me to say this?"

"Probably not." He admitted, "But isn't it just a coincidence?"

"Hmph."

Casper scooted closer to her, almost brushing against her. "If you're cooled off too, let's head home."

"Casper, back off a bit," Eliza said, not liking how he always tried to smooth things over this way. "I wonder, what was going through your mind when Kate called me Ms. Eliza today?"

"She did it on purpose." He wasn't clueless.

Eliza chuckled lightly, "Oh, so you noticed?"

"Her intentions are as clear as day. How could I not see it?" He took Eliza's hand

in his, gently caressing it. "Don't worry, I won't let her get away with it."
