Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 944

Remington didn't react much, and to accommodate Lizetta's height, he even leaned down slightly.

Lizetta managed to grab his ear with ease, feeling triumphant and ready to give it a good tug. But then, in the next moment.

"Ah!"

She suddenly found herself lifted off the ground. Remington had wrapped his arm around her waist and hoisted her up effortlessly.

Startled, Lizetta let out a small yelp, instinctively releasing his ear and instead clutching onto his neck for support.

She looked down at him as he looked up at her.

The glow from the bedroom's chandelier cast a soft light, highlighting every lash of his eyes and reflecting Lizetta's slightly surprised expression in his pupils.

Breaths mingled in the sudden quiet.

"You haven't explained why you were hugging him, and yet you're mad at me," Remington finally broke the silence in a low voice.

His tone wasn't accusatory, more like a wounded plea, but his grip on her was firm.

Lizetta felt like her thighs might be squeezed to the point of snapping and found it a bit amusing.

"Does it bother you that much?"

"Of course!" he replied in a muffled voice.

Lizetta raised an eyebrow. "But it seems like you don't really have the right to be bothered, ex-husband."

The term "ex-husband" made Remington's handsome face darken slightly.

He genuinely disliked that label, a constant reminder that he had lost her and of their divorce.

"But you've agreed to let me pursue you! Doesn't that make me the prospective boyfriend? A prospective boyfriend doesn't like seeing you getting cozy with other guys."
