His Destructive, Toxic Love

Eliza was spot on.

But he swore this was the last time she'd suffer because of him. "Don't worry, it won't happen again, never again."

"What won't happen?" she asked.

"I won't let you get hurt like this again. No more getting engaged to random women, no more keeping things ambiguous. I'll be faithful to you for the rest of my life. I mean every word." Casper sounded pretty convincing.

Eliza: ...??? (Confused face)

Faithful?

He sure knew how to pat himself on the back.

Him, faithful to someone else?

How many times had he been with Nova, and now he talked about faithfulness?

"Casper, lying like that is asking to be struck by lightning."

"I'm not lying. Besides you, I haven't been with anyone else."

Even kissing he barely did that with Nova.

Sometimes, he found it really weird.

He had seen Nova as a cherished crush.

He was incredibly indulgent and affectionate toward her, but he never felt desire for her.

Desire, it was about the eyes and the heart. Initially, his desire for Eliza was purely physical, but at some point, it had shifted to his heart.

When was that?

Maybe when he secretly saved their wedding photo on his phone.

He smiled.

Made a noise by accident.

Eliza didn't know what he was laughing at, but his claim sounded like a joke. "Casper, do you even believe yourself? You, who turns into an animal in bed, would only have me?" "Believe it or not, you're the only one." He said playfully, continuing to wash her with a towel. "I might be strong in that department, but usually, I'm pretty restrained." She didn't believe him.

In her tangled history with Casper, she had once thought he had a sex addiction.

Restrained was the last word she'd use to describe him.

Of course, Casper didn't bother explaining further.

These things, if you believe them, they exist; if you don't, they don't.

After the bath, Eliza lay in the hospital bed, staring into the darkness, feeling a bit scared.

"Casper, do you think my eyes will really get better?"

"Of course." He looked at her dazed little face, understanding her worries, and gently held her small hand. "It'll be fine after the surgery."

"What's actually wrong with my eyes? Is it a problem with the cornea?"

Casper didn't want to tell her the truth, so he continued to comfort her. "It's not that serious."

Eliza didn't push further, deciding to drop it.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"I'm tired."

"Then get some sleep."

He tenderly stayed by her side until Eliza fell asleep.

Only then did he leave the hospital room.

Casper called Dillon, and they headed to Ronan's place.

After the business ties with Welton International were severed, Ronan was kicked out of some shady deals because of his fallout with Welton International.

While he hated Casper, he hated his own daughter's incompetence even more.

Fortunately, although Susan had become somewhat foolish and insane, at least she had been 'sold off.'

Once the ceremony was completed, he could return.

Seeing Casper, he was a bit surprised and angry.

But he didn't know why Casper was

there. "M Casper, what brings you here? quilty about business

and coming to apologize? I might not accept it."

"Mr. Ronan, you're overthinking. I'm here for something." Casper said coldly.

Ronan was slightly startled.

Here for something?

After causing him to lose hundreds of millions, he still had the nerve to ask for something. "I don't have what Mr. Casper wants here Please, feel free to leave."

"Mr. Ronan, please bring Ms. Susan out. Mr. Casper has important matters to discuss with her," Dillon said, not bothering to beat around the bush.
