Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 931

Unexpectedly, the man shifted closer, gently nudging her side.

Lizetta blinked, "What are you doing?"

The man's lips curled into a playful smile, his voice filled with amusement.

"Finding my soil."

Lizetta was taken aback. Was she really the soil he depended on?

In the past, it was always her depending on him, looking up to him, surviving under his protection.

He was both her brother and her lover, and she stood in his shadow, waiting for him to turn around.

Yet now, he claimed she was his soil.

Without her, his tree, no matter how lush, would quickly wither away, lost and unsupported.

Lizetta felt something heavy hit her heart, momentarily forgetting to look away.

Until...

"Uh-oh."

A peculiar sound abruptly interrupted. Lizetta looked up to see Yolanda standing a short distance away, eyes wide with shock.

Lizetta's heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling like a teenager caught by a parent while secretly dating the class bad boy.

She immediately jumped up, putting a good six feet between her and Remington, meeting Yolanda's curious and uncertain gaze.

"Yoli, did you and Cassius sort things out? Are you hungry? How about we grab a bite before heading out?"

Lizetta approached, trying to usher Yolanda away.

But Yolanda hesitated, her suspicious gaze darting between Lizetta and the man crouching there.

"Liz, what’s going on here?"

Something about the atmosphere seemed off.

Could it be that notorious Remington was up to something again? Surely Liz wasn’t falling for his antics?

"We’re not up to anything. Mr. Dashiell accidentally knocked over some plants, and I was just helping him replant them."
