Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 942

This time, she could genuinely feel the full hundred percent effort Remington was putting in, slowly melting the ice that had encased her heart for so long.

But if Remington ever disappointed her, or made her unhappy, she was ready to protect herself in an instant.

Now, she had people who had her back, a safety net to fall back on, unlike the messy situations she had been in before.

Jerome watched Lizetta, whose smile was subtle yet dazzling, gripping his coffee cup a bit tighter than usual.

He had once wanted to ask her about a promise she had made long ago, back when Daisy was still around.

If Remington ever hurt her again, she promised to give him a chance.

He wasn’t sure if she would still honor that promise now.

But seeing her like this, Jerome decided not to bring it up.

Asking would probably lead nowhere and only add to her guilt and worries.

Jerome nodded, finished the last sip of his coffee, and stood up first.

Lizetta followed suit, and Jerome reached out to gently ruffle her hair.

"I know everything. You think too much. If you ever feel wronged or worry about upsetting Grandma and Grandpa, remember you have a brother at home who’s always got your back."

He was clearly stepping back to make her feel better, taking on the role of a protective brother.

Lizetta’s nose tingled, and her eyes turned a bit red as she nodded firmly.

"Alright, I promise I’ll let you know."

Jerome raised an eyebrow, smiling with satisfaction, and opened his arms.

"Why are your eyes getting red? Come here, give me a hug."

Lizetta chuckled softly and didn't refuse, stepping closer.
