Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 556

"Liz, are you afraid of falling for me again? Or are you afraid that deep down, you're still in love with me?"

The only response he got was the sound of the door being double-locked, followed by Lizetta's cool voice.

"I'm going to bed. You better leave!"

"Goodnight then," Remington replied.

Behind the door, Lizetta smirked mockingly. As if she wished him a good night.

He was just being sentimental. She simply didn't want to owe him anything after their divorce.

But then, a familiar knocking pattern came through the door.

Knock, knock, knock, knock!

Three quick, one slow.

Just like the countless times they had said goodnight through a wall.

Lizetta's mocking smile froze, her eyes suddenly moist.

But she didn't raise her hand to respond. Instead, she quickly moved away from the door and entered the master bathroom.

Remington leaned against the door, waiting in vain for her to knock back. All he heard was her receding footsteps.

He sighed softly after a while.

That night, Lizetta found it hard to sleep. Hans' appearance had indeed affected her.

She slept fitfully, her dreams filled with a sense of running, shrouded in a fog of blood.

When Lizetta woke up the next morning, her head felt heavy.

She lay there for a while before getting up and opening her bedroom door.

What she didn't expect was the aroma of food that immediately assaulted her senses.

She had been living alone these days. Could it be...

Lizetta hurried to the kitchen, only to witness an unexpected scene.

A tall, imposing man stood there, dressed in a white shirt and black suit pants, sleeves rolled up to reveal strong, sculpted arms, busy cooking.
