Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 570

Once upon a time, no one had ever mentioned this to Lizetta, leaving her stunned as she gazed at Remington.

"You're kidding, right?"

Cradling her face gently, Remington's gaze softened, and a faint smile played on his lips.

"I'm not kidding. When you were a little over two, you visited the Dashiell estate. The servants were frantic, unable to find you anywhere. It wasn't until I came home from school that I discovered you had somehow commandeered my bed.

Liz, you were the first to claim my bed, and so far, the only one. And I intend to keep it that way. Don't you think you owe it to me?"

This revelation made Lizetta's cheeks inexplicably warm.

She figured it must be from the warmth of Remington's palm.

As Remington's smile faded slightly, his voice grew husky.

"When I was eight, my grandfather took me fishing. I wandered off, and by the time I returned, he had collapsed from a heart attack. The delay in finding help... it cost him his life. I locked myself away, overwhelmed with guilt, refusing food and water, shunning everyone’s concern..."

Lizetta's breath hitched. Mr. Dashiell and Fiona shared a close bond, and since the old man's early demise, the Dashiell family seldom spoke of the circumstances surrounding his death.

Lizetta had always assumed it was a simple case of passing away due to illness, never imagining it to be so tragic.

Noticing Remington lost in his painful memories, she instinctively reached out, softly stroking his hair, her gaze turning tender.

Remington caught her hand, bringing it to his lips for a gentle kiss, locking eyes with her.

"Guess who finally pulled me out of that darkness?"

Lizetta felt a stir in her heart but dared not believe it.
