Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1209

Nelson gently traced the photograph of his daughter on the headstone. After a long, heavy silence, he finally spoke, his voice cracking with age and regret.

"Elsa, I'm so sorry. It took me all these years to realize I had invited wolves into our home. Every single member of the Porter family is a monster. If I had seen their true colors sooner, I never would have let Eartha near you. Maybe then, you wouldn't have passed away without even seeing your real baby. It’s all my fault. But don't worry—this time, I won't let a single one of them escape justice!"

Nelson's shoulders slumped slightly, the morning breeze ruffling his silver hair.

It broke Lizetta's heart to see him so burdened. She stepped up and murmured a few comforting words until he squeezed her hand tightly.

"You stay here," Nelson instructed softly. "Spend some more time with your mother."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Lizetta knew what this meant—he was deliberately leaving her alone with Remington to pay their respects.

It was a massive step forward. It meant Nelson had officially given Remington his preliminary blessing.

She glanced over at the man beside her. Remington flashed her a devastatingly handsome smile.

Jerome helped the two elders down the path, leaving Lizetta and Remington standing shoulder-to-shoulder before the grave.

The two of them stood in solemn reverence, bowing their heads respectfully before Elsa’s headstone. After a quiet moment, Lizetta looked up at the photograph and made the introductions.

"Mom, this is Remington..."

Remington turned his head to look at her, affection practically spilling from his eyes.

"You've talked to Mom about me before?" he teased, his voice carrying a distinct, arrogant delight.
