His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 42

Her voice rang out sharp and triumphant, as if she had just claimed some grand victory.

Eliza let out a barely audible chuckle. "All this pampering, yet he still hasn't made you his wife."

"Casper marrying me is just a matter of time." Nova straightened up leisurely, picked up a plate of cherries, and popped a red one into her mouth. "Once my leg heals, I'll be his most beautiful bride."

"What good will healing your leg do? Can you bear children for the Welton family or give Casper a son and a daughter?" Women who can't bear children will be cast aside sooner or later. The Welton family wouldn't allow it any other way.

A mocking smirk played on Eliza's lips.

Nova's face twisted in fury, her eyes turning fierce. She slammed the plate of cherries onto the floor and glared at Eliza. "Even if I can't bear children for Casper, he still loves me the most."

"Fine, you keep loving each other."

Eliza couldn't be bothered by Nova's hysterics. She followed Marian into the kitchen.

Eliza quietly sliced the meat while Marian eyed her. Words formed in Marian’s mouth only to be swallowed back down.

"Marian, if you have something to say, just say it. Casper isn't home anyway."

Marian sighed softly. "Madam, I think Mr. Casper... still has feelings for you."

Eliza smiled, pausing with the kitchen knife in hand, then shook her head. "Marian, you've been with us for years. Since Casper and I got married, you've seen how we are together. How could he possibly have feelings for me?"

"But I don’t think he... really likes Ms. Nova either."
