Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 722

"But, I don't have any sort of relationship with Mr. Dashiell either."

What Lizetta failed to notice was the eerie silence that had suddenly enveloped the room.

Everyone seemed utterly shocked by Remington's distinct treatment towards Stella and his completely different demeanor towards Lizetta.

From their reactions, one might think Mr. Dashiell's heart belonged to Stella, hinting at a blossoming romance.

But it was clear as day that Mr. Dashiell was still hung up on his ex-wife, who appeared indifferent and unwilling to rekindle their past.

Where was the so-called abandoned ex-wife narrative when Mr. Dashiell seemingly married out of obligation rather than desire?

Yet, Lizetta's blatant disregard for Mr. Dashiell's reputation seemed almost too bold.

How could Mr. Dashiell ever tolerate such insolence?

They all waited to see Lizetta's comeuppance, but the next moment, Remington, instead of exploding in anger, simply quirked a thin smile and said,

"Sure, you and I have nothing, but I, on my part, want to have something with you."

Lizetta laughed, "What are you saying?"

She couldn't quite grasp the meaning behind Remington's words.

Remington raised an eyebrow, "I mean, I want to take care of you, to be good to you, unilaterally."

His voice was steady, not too loud nor too soft, and he spoke openly without any hint of concealment.

It sounded almost like a public declaration of affection.

Lizetta, less thick-skinned than Remington, suddenly turned away, her face heating up with a mix of embarrassment and surprise.

Seeing Lizetta's reaction, Yolanda, worried that this Casanova might easily sway Lizetta again, immediately spoke up.

"Mr. Dashiell talks a good game, but why does Ms. Shirley Dashiell keep calling herself the 'abandoned wife'?"
