His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 706

His lips gently brushed against hers, tender and full of affection, his eyes soft and caring.

"I want to be as close to you as I can. You have no idea how much I regret our argument. For the sake of my heartfelt apology, can we just move past it?"

Eliza wanted to move on too.

But once this page was turned, what about the next one?

She realized she really needed to adjust her perspective, just like Chelsea had said. In this marriage, she was the one who needed to change.

"Casper," she said, locking eyes with him, "give me some time. I need to sort out a few things. I also need to figure out what I should be getting from this marriage."

In their relationship, he was always the one at fault.

Whether past or future, he had to tread carefully to win her trust, her love.

He knew she didn't love him enough.

He knew she could walk away from this marriage at any moment.

And so, he was scared.

Scared she'd get caught up in the wrong things.

He knew this mindset and way of interacting were unhealthy, but he didn't have a better solution at the moment.

Change, perhaps, needed to be a team effort.
