Lizetta's cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson in an instant. Biting her lip, she pushed her chair back and stood up.
"I need to use the restroom," she murmured, quickly making her way out.
Remington lightly touched the corner of his mouth, noticing a faint trace of blood on his fingertip. Without offering an explanation, he flashed a mysterious smile and stood up as well.
"She's not feeling well. I'll go check on her. Enjoy your meal, everyone," he said, following her out.
They left one after the other, and Andrea turned to Jerome with a knowing look.
"Bro, you saw that, right? Even though they're separated, the spark's still there. Maybe you should stop playing the villain here. You're standing up for Mrs. Dashiell, but for all you know, she might find you more annoying than helpful!"
Jerome's expression remained unchanged. He took a sip of his wine before responding.
"She won't think that."
Lizetta wasn't like that, and Remington should realize the whispers and rumors Lizetta had to endure because of him. If he couldn't handle that much, he didn't deserve to pursue her any further.
Andrea huffed, "And how would you know? Since when did you get so close to her? I had no idea."
Jerome poured Andrea a glass of freshly squeezed juice. "Just eat your food, will you?"
Andrea pouted, "I'm only looking out for you because I care, okay? It's not like anyone else will. Grandpa, look at him!"
She appealed to Nelson, who chuckled and said, "Jerome, Liz is a fine woman, but it seems there's still a chapter left in their love story."
Andrea nodded vigorously. "See, even Grandpa agrees. Instead of pining for someone who's taken, why not pay more attention to me? I'm pretty good-looking too, you know."
Resting her chin on her hand, Andrea fixed her gaze on Jerome, batting her eyelashes.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
