Remington pulled out the chair for Fiona, while Lizetta helped the old lady to her seat. Then, they heard Remington speak.
"Grandma, you're absolutely right. I'm already in such a mess, and I regret it enough. Please, let's just move past this."
Fiona, her heart aching for her grandson, turned to Lizetta and said, "Liz, could you help him get cleaned up? Seeing him like this breaks my heart."
Lizetta understood Fiona's intentions all too well.
Earlier, Tina mentioned the guest room's hot water was broken, and Lizetta didn't think much of it until she saw that oil painting in the bedroom. It became clear that Fiona wanted her to discover that painting, hoping she and Remington could mend their relationship.
In this moment, as Fiona played matchmaker, Lizetta met the old lady's gaze, feeling a bit soft-hearted. However, she also knew raising false hopes in Fiona only to disappoint her later was even more unacceptable.
So, she bit her lip and firmly declined, "Grandma, I'd rather help you with dinner. Let's have the maid help Mr. Dashiell get cleaned up."
Sitting next to Fiona, Lizetta's refusal was clear. Fiona realized she had completely shut the door on the idea, especially after recalling how Tina had accidentally spilled juice on Remington, who had rushed back to his room.
The two had spent quite a while in the bedroom, disheveled. Fiona had hoped there might be some sparks, some progress, but...
She glared at Remington in disappointment.
Useless, not even able to charm his own wife!
Absolute deadweight.
"Fine, if a grown man can't even dry his own hair, he deserves to be miserable!"

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....
