Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 520

"Pregnant women shouldn't get upset. Even if we divorce, I won't fight you for Daisy's custody. You are her mother and will always be! Don’t bother with what she said."

Hearing him say this, Lizetta felt a bit comforted.

Stella’s words had been like a knife to her heart, suggesting she’d be left childless and alone.

How could Lizetta not be angry?

She turned her head away, protecting her belly, not wanting to look at Remington.

Even though he was desperately trying to explain, Lizetta still felt uneasy.

The weariness on her face was evident, and Remington felt like the tiny bit of progress he had made on the plane had been completely shattered by the West family’s mother and daughter.

Irritation flickered in his eyes as he frowned at Stella, ignoring her tear-streaked face, he spoke firmly.

“Stella, I have no romantic feelings for you. I’ve always seen you as a sister, and that hasn’t changed. We will never be a thing. Your accusations are absurd!”

Stella shook her head, visibly shaken.

“I don’t believe you! Remington, you had promised my mother you would marry me.”

“Ha, ha, oh please, Mr. Dashiell is known for keeping his promises, isn’t he? Forgot your own words, did you? It's time to give her an explanation.”

Lizetta’s voice was dripping with sarcasm, eager to leave this mess behind.

She walked away from Remington, striding forward.

Remington glanced at Ray, who immediately followed.

Taking a moment, Remington crouched down, looking into Stella’s tearful eyes, he spoke tiredly.

“I was clear about the circumstances under which I agreed, your parents know it. If I had known it would lead to greed and harm towards my wife and child, I would have never agreed!

Stella, I owe you, but my wife and child don’t. I’ve tried to make amends over the years, but everyone has their limits. Don’t push me to the point where my years of affection for the West family become a joke!”

Stella was devastated, her face pale, tears silently streaming down.
