Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 539

Liz frowned, instinctively stepping back as the man approached.

That step froze Remington in his tracks, darkening his already stern face.

"Liz, come here. I'll take you for your prenatal checkup," he said, barely concealing his anger as he reached out to her.

Before Liz could respond, Yolanda crossed her arms and said, "Oh, Mr. Dashiell has a moment to spare? With your busy schedule, you still find time for Liz, who's just lost her mom. We really shouldn’t trouble you, after all, Liz isn’t your concern anymore."

After her comment, Yolanda gave Hamilton a significant look.

Hamilton immediately lifted the sign he was holding, waving it at Remington.

But in the next second, Remington grabbed the sign and tossed it in a perfect arc into a nearby trash can.

Yolanda glared at Hamilton, her look clearly asking, "How could you be so useless?"

Hamilton shrugged innocently, "I didn’t expect him to actually do something about it. Mr. Dashiell is so ruthless; no wonder Liz is ditching him even while pregnant!"

"Ruthless? Do you know what he’s best at?" Yolanda, forgiving Hamilton's fumble, chimed in.

"No idea."

"Juggling two hearts at once."

The two mocked Remington while Liz silently bit her lip.

In the past, Remington's friends had sneered at her too.

But the man, with a stern face, ignored Yolanda and Hamilton, his gaze fixed on Liz, the pressure in his eyes immense as he repeated, "Come here."

However, Liz's compliance in the past was because she saw him as a brother, a husband, someone she could trust and rely on.
