Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 55

Lizetta held her breath, waiting for the man’s response.

“If I wasn’t concerned about you, what am I doing now?”

His answer was nonchalant, but Lizetta’s heart couldn’t help but race out of control.

His protectiveness, his response, somehow sparked a tiny bit of hope in her heart again.

Her eyes misted over, “When I hit Evelina last time, did you feel sorry for her too? Did you ice her up?”

Remington chuckled, “Take a guess.”

Without a direct answer, that must mean yes!

Lizetta felt like smashing his head in.

She turned around in anger, and Remington’s body pressed closer again.

Faced with him once more, she was cornered between his body and the wall, glaring at him with her head tilted back.

Remington’s lips curved slightly, appearing leisurely composed.

“Caring so much, yet you won’t admit you’re jealous?”

Lizetta thought he was insane, her expression cooling off.

“We’re not divorced yet; you’re my husband. Women do not like being cuckolded either, okay?”

The smile in Remington’s eyes faded slightly, “Since you know we’re not divorced, then move back home.”

Why could he bring this up again? Lizetta wanted to remind him that they would be divorced by now if he hadn’t broken their last appointment.

But Remington preempted her: “I had the bedroom cleaned up, everything’s new – the sofa, the carpets, the bedding.”
