His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 582

Early morning.

Eliza woke up snuggled in his arms. As she stretched and turned over, his large hand instinctively found its way back to her waist.

"Awake?" His voice was deep and carried that lazy morning charm.

Eliza murmured, "I'm going to check on the baby."

"I've already had the nanny feed the baby. Stay with me a bit longer." His chin, rough with stubble, brushed gently against her smooth shoulder. "Or, maybe we should think about having a third child?"

"Yeah, right," she said with a playful roll of her eyes.

She tried to push him away, but he just pulled her closer, flipping her over effortlessly. "Elle, I never actually meant to stop you from having kids, it was just that..."

He wanted to explain all the foolish things he'd done in the past. But every time he tried, fear held him back. Afraid of saying the wrong thing, afraid of opening old wounds.

Now, with their hearts in sync, if she wanted an explanation, he was ready to give it.

"What is it?" she asked. She didn't want to keep revisiting the past; it felt like trapping themselves in a loop of memories. "Casper, let bygones be bygones. I'm more interested in how you'll act from here on."

"I promise, I'll be the best husband and father. I'll do right by you and the kids."

They'd been through the wringer together—from love to hate and back again. He'd worked hard to make things right, and finally, the storm had passed.

"You have no idea how much I love you," he said.

She felt his love, sure. But how deep it ran? Only time and his actions would reveal that.

"Don't call me 'wife' just yet; I haven't agreed to remarry you," she teased, knowing full well he'd probably already switched their divorce papers back to a marriage certificate. "Getting me to remarry isn't as easy as swapping a piece of paper, Casper."

"I know there’s a lot I’ve got to do. But trust me, this time, I’ll make you fall for me all over again."

Eliza laughed, "Don't get too cocky; I'm not that easy to win over."
