Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 550

"You're just dependent on me because I saved you, that's all."

Stella stared at Remington, her eyes a mix of struggle and confusion.

"Is that so?" she asked after a moment, visibly shocked.

Remington nodded, and Stella bit her lip, looking down before asking again.

"And do you love Liz, Remington?"

"Yes, I love her. We had our misunderstandings in the past, and I've hurt her a lot, which led us to the brink of divorce. But I never thought about really leaving her, nor did I think about giving any other woman a chance. My wife, my love, it's always going to be her."

Remington's words were firm and unequivocal.

Stella's face turned even paler, and she took a step back, leaning on the desk. After a moment, she managed a bitter smile.

"I really envy Liz..."

Remington's lips tightened in a self-deprecating smile. "But she's not happy."

Stella sniffled and bent down to pick up the documents that had scattered on the floor.

"I understand now. I have my pride, Remington. Don't worry, I'll seriously consider going abroad.

Before I make my decision, I won't bother you anymore. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused during this time."

Her expression was lonely and sad, tears still visible on her face, but her eyes seemed somehow clearer.

Remington let out a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Stella, the reason I brought you back is so you can get back on the right track. Going abroad to enhance your skills, to catch up on the knowledge you've missed, and to come back to take control of the West family, that's what you should really be doing.
