Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1205

The man gazed down at their intertwined fingers, a vibrant smile flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't stop his lips from curving upward in pure delight.

Being repeatedly humiliated by Lizetta drained all the color from Conrad's face.

He had genuinely planned to play the loving father and win her over, but she refused to give him an inch.

They couldn't exchange more than two sentences before she went completely on the offensive, leaving him burning with suppressed rage.

He felt it wasn't his fault—it was as if their personalities were chemically incompatible.

If she were just as obedient, sweet, and eager to please as Andrea had been, wouldn't he have showered her with affection?

But Conrad could only keep those thoughts locked in his head. Standing in front of Nelson Madden, he didn't dare breathe a word of his frustrations.

Especially not in his current precarious situation. Conrad gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly when he spoke.

"Liz! I'm only saying this because I care about you. Remington put you through hell in the past. I just don't want to see you get hurt again."

Conrad’s expression was agonizingly sincere, playing the part of a deeply concerned father whose only wish was to protect his daughter.

Lizetta found it downright hysterical. She let out a sharp scoff, but before she could fire back, Remington wrapped a protective arm around her shoulders and looked dead at Conrad.

"I did hurt her in the past. I own every mistake I made, and I plan to spend every single day of the rest of my life loving her and making it up to her. I will never betray or hurt her again. So, if you're genuinely worried about that, Mr. West, you can put your mind at ease."

He spoke with absolute, unwavering conviction. It was the most serious tone he had ever used in Conrad's presence.

Conrad was temporarily stunned, entirely unaccustomed to this version of the man and unsure how to respond.
