Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 395

With her gaze fixed on Remington, Lizetta suddenly wiped away the tears from her cheeks, and moved to sit a bit away from him.

"Of course, it's weird! I'm not cooling off that easy!"

Her expression tightened again; she turned her head away, not wanting to catch Remington's gaze.

She feared that one more look at him would soften her heart completely, and would compel her to forgive everything.

She felt deeply for him and empathized with his struggles, having learned about the full story, including his entanglements with the West family and his history with Stella.

Though she could comprehend his past actions, it didn't mean she lacked temper.

If she forgave him too easily, he might choose to hide things again in the future.

A healthy marital relationship shouldn’t work like this.

Her heart couldn’t stand being tormented and worn down time and again.

So, she wanted Remington to fret a little longer, so she could teach him a lesson.

Remington reached out, and Lizetta immediately stood up, turning her back on him.

With a mix of resignation and amusement, Remington also stood, wrapping his arms around Lizetta’s waist from behind.

He leaned in, resting his chin lightly on her slender shoulder, and whispering in her ear.

"Why so hard to appease now?"

Lizetta nodded, "Exactly! That's why you shouldn't keep things from me. I'm your wife now, not some little sister hiding in your arms, who was clueless about everything!"

Remington chuckled, glancing at her.

"Are you sure? Who was that girl crying in my arms just a moment ago?"

He lifted his hand to gently touch Lizetta's still damp lashes.

Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, Lizetta was about to push him away when suddenly, brisk footsteps echoed from upstairs.

It was Eileen, her face etched with urgency, hurrying down.

Remington slightly loosened his grip on Lizetta and turned to look at Eileen, asking, "What's up?"
