Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 95

Lizetta was just about to say goodbye to Lucian when she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She turned around in shock, only to see Remington had doubled back.

He yanked off the coat belonging to Lucian that she was wearing and tossed it back to him. Before Lizetta could even process what was happening, Remington scooped her up again.

The man was cold as ice all over, his jaw clenched tight, his gaze on Lucian icy and distant, “Aren’t you leaving? Need an invite for a cup of tea or something?”

His disdain was as plain as day, and Lucian was lost for words.

“Speaking of which, I’ve been away for years. You and Liz got hitched, and I’ve never even dropped by. It’s not too much to ask for a cup of tea, right?”

Lucian took a step forward, but Remington stood there expressionless, like an insurmountable iceberg.
