His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 448

Eliza stared at the bowl in front of her, realizing she couldn't possibly finish it all. "How about I share some with you?"

"Sure thing." Juan turned and headed to the kitchen, returning with a bowl for Eliza. "When it comes to real friendship, it's us who get it. Mr. Casper, on the other hand, is just too stingy."

Casper: ...

"Juan, could you have a bit of shame? Was this pasta even meant for you?"

With an innocent look, Juan sighed, "I'm hungry, so let's forget about my shame for now."

"You..."

Eliza looked up at Casper. "You should have some too."

She took the bowl and divided the pasta into three portions. One for each, to avoid any squabbling.

"Mr. Casper, come join us. It's the least we can do to appreciate your hard work." Juan pulled up a chair for Casper.

Casper was indeed a bit upset. But for Eliza's sake, he swallowed his pride.

"I'm not hungry. I'll head back now and come over tomorrow." He was worried the Smith family might cause more trouble. After all, Eliza was a woman. She might not be able to handle it.

"Alright then, you must be exhausted." Eliza didn't insist on him staying, standing up to escort Casper out. "Thank you so much for all your help."

"Don't mention it."

After Casper left, Eliza returned to her meal with a lack of enthusiasm, taking a few bites of her pasta before heading back to the living room.

"I think you should lay low for a few days. If the Smith family shows up, I'll handle it." Juan, after all, was a man. He could reason with them, and if things got rough, he wasn't afraid.

Eliza had her thoughts, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she said somberly, "Actually, I'd quite like to meet Lynn."

Mikey loved her so much. No matter what, they had lived together for years and had a child. How could she just abandon him? Was it really just because he was of no use anymore?

"Meeting is easy; the hard part is getting any results," said Juan.

Eliza sighed deeply. But... running away wasn't the solution. If you retreat, they think you're afraid, and they'll keep pushing, thinking you're easy to bully. It would never end. She wanted to resolve it once and for all.

"Let's see after we meet."
