Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 426

Handwriting was connected to their strain, which, slanted to the left, was a sign, some said, of someone who was emotionally repressed, sensitive, and cautious.

Back in the day, Lizetta's slant was even more pronounced, and Remington had put in quite the effort to help her correct it. It had improved significantly, but if one looked closely, the lean was still there.

"Boss, do you want me to check out this letter?"

That was when Cedric walked in. Seeing Remington still holding the letter, he offered to help. But Remington simply pressed the letter into a journal and slid it back into the drawer, his voice deep and firm.

"No need. Get a forged handwriting certification ready in a couple of days."

Cedric was momentarily taken aback but didn't press further, simply responding, "Sure thing, boss."

"Ah! Remi! Remington!"

Early in the morning, as Remington was choosing a watch in his walk-in closet, Lizetta's familiar voice suddenly echoed from the bathroom.

Remington's hand twitched, and the Patek Philippe he had just picked up dropped to the floor, its face cracking.

But the watch's owner didn't spare it another glance, his figure already dashing out of the closet and into the bathroom.

"Liz!"

He burst into the bathroom, scooping Lizetta up from in front of the sink and quickly carrying her back to the bed.

"What's wrong? Stomach ache?" He asked anxiously.

Lizetta froze, realizing he had misunderstood her. She sheepishly stuck out her tongue, "No, it's just I noticed Joy's grown so much! My belly's sticking out now!"

Lizetta's physique meant her pregnancy hadn't been as noticeable as others at first.

She had only felt her waist thickening, but her belly hadn't been prominent. Today, looking in the mirror, she suddenly saw from the side that her belly had a small but definite curve.

Joy was growing. She said, pulling Remington's hand to her slightly protruding belly. Remington, still startled, had his heart racing.

With a hint of resignation in his eyes, he gently rubbed her now slightly rounded abdomen.
