Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 427

On the other end of the phone, the man remained silent. But Lizetta could hear background noises, loud and bustling like a crowd.

It didn’t sound at all like the environment where Remington worked.

“Where are you? Is something wrong? Talk to me,” Lizetta’s worry started to spike.

But just as her anxious words fell, she heard a clearer announcement through the phone. She was taken aback; it was unmistakably the sound of an airport announcing flight information.

“Liz, don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s just that, I’m sorry, something came up and I need to go on a business trip right away. I won’t be able to make it back to try on the suit today.”

Finally, Remington’s familiar deep voice came through.

He really was at the airport. Relieved that he wasn’t in any trouble, Lizetta still felt uneasy knowing he was leaving Zion City.

“Is it something really important and urgent? Does it have to be you going in person, can’t someone else...”

Lizetta thought of the upcoming wedding and unconsciously gripped her phone tighter.

Remington had promised her he’d wrap up his work early to spend the last couple of days before their wedding together with her. Now, not only was he not coming back to be with her, but he was also leaving Zion City.

However, her plea was cut off by Remington, “Liz, it’s important; I have to be there in person. I’m sorry. The suit is tailored to my measurements; it’ll fit perfectly. I’ll wear it for you when I get back, okay?”

His voice was soothing, yet his stance was clear.

He wasn’t going to stay. But from what he said, the trip wouldn’t take long.

“Does that mean our wedding has to be postponed?” Lizetta asked uncertainly.
