His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 712

Eliza and Casper slipped into their outfits and stepped out, hand in hand, ready to face the day. Eliza had a hunch she might run into Gabe, but seeing Allysha and Kate was a curveball she hadn't expected.

"What are they doing here?" Eliza whispered to Casper, her eyebrows knitting together in confusion. "Do you think Kate sniffed you out like a bloodhound?"

"Not my doing," Casper shrugged, clearly wanting nothing to do with Kate's drama. He pulled Eliza closer, turning his gaze away as if to distance himself from any suspicion.

Eliza had originally been excited about a boat ride, but seeing familiar faces she wasn't fond of among the crowd waiting to board, her enthusiasm waned. As she was about to suggest a change of plans to Casper, Gabe appeared.

"Eliza, fancy seeing you here," Gabe greeted, a touch surprised, but keeping it cordial. His eyes quickly flicked to Casper. "And who might this be?"

"I'm her husband, Casper," he replied, his voice carrying a cool confidence that left no room for doubt.

Gabe blinked in mild surprise but kept his friendly demeanor. "Oh, her husband. Well, would you both like to join us?"

Casper stayed silent, and Eliza shot a glance at Allysha and Kate, who were watching them with more interest than she'd like.
