Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 386

In an instant, the two of them tumbled onto the bed together.

Remington was underneath, protectively holding Lizetta above him.

Lizetta was in a state of shock, gasping for air. As she came to her senses, she tried to struggle free.

But Remington tightened his grip around her waist and suddenly spoke up.

“I admit that when I saw you beaten and bruised on that snowy night years ago, I thought of Stella. And yes, the first piece of orange candy I gave you was Stella's favorite.”

Hearing just this much, Lizetta felt as though her heart was being sliced open; unable to hold back, she had tears stream down her face.

Each tear, heavy with her grievances and shattered feelings, fell directly from her eyes, and landed on Remington's forehead, nose, eyelids, and lips.

For a moment, Remington panicked. He quickly lifted his head, kissing her, trying to soothe her broken heart.

“Don’t cry, let me finish!”

“I don’t want to hear it anymore. Since you love her so much, just share your deep feelings with her. She’d probably love to hear them, and she’d be touched. Don’t tell me, I don’t want to be a witness to your love!”

Lizetta covered her ears and clumsily climbed off Remington, attempting to escape the bed.

But she had only taken one step when Remington caught her around the waist and pulled her back.

He made her sit on his lap, with one arm circling her waist, while forcefully pulling her hands away from her ears to his lips for a tender kiss before he said helplessly.

“Silly girl, how could you ever be a stand-in? When Stella disappeared, we were both not even twelve. What did we know about love at that age? Do you think I’m some kind of reincarnated god of love?”

Remington felt that his actions should prove he wasn’t the kind to fall in love and talk about romance at such a young age, right?

Everyone always said Remington was cold-hearted and indifferent. She was really overestimating him.

“What do you mean?” Lizetta looked at Remington, feeling bewildered. Remington tightened his grip on Lizetta's hand and placed it over his heart as he finally said.
