Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 939

The man's face turned stormy in an instant. His expression was tense as he shot a deep look at Lizetta and Jerome standing behind her, then spun on his heel and stormed out, a cold gust following him as he slammed the door.

Lizetta watched him leave, unable to suppress a small, ironic smile as she turned away. Oddly enough, her spirits were surprisingly high.

"Hey, I'm heading upstairs. You should get some rest too," Lizetta said, glancing up at her brother, Jerome.

Just as she was about to leave, Jerome spoke up.

"I've got a couple of meetings to attend tonight, Liz. Could you brew me some coffee?"

Lizetta looked at Jerome, feeling a slight urge to avoid being alone with him. There was always a vague pressure around him.

If Jerome had asked her to join him for coffee, she could have easily refused, saying it would keep her up all night. But brewing a pot was different, especially since she'd just enjoyed the dinner he prepared. There was no polite way to say no.

She nodded, conceding, "You just got out of the hospital, and caffeine isn't great for the stomach. If it's not urgent, maybe you could postpone..."

Jerome smiled slightly, "These two virtual meetings have already been postponed because of the hospital stay. Just make me a light cup, okay?"

"Alright."

The two headed to the small kitchen downstairs.

Back when Lizetta lived at the Dashiell family estate, Fiona loved coffee, so Lizetta had picked up quite a bit about brewing the perfect cup. She even got certified as a barista in her spare time.

Later, at Tranquil Meadows, she'd often brew coffee for her grandparents.

When Jerome and Nelson were in discussions, Lizetta would frequently be nearby, listening and brewing coffee.

She had become quite skilled at it, and her movements were graceful and fluid. Soon, she placed a cup of coffee in front of Jerome.
