Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 267

At this point, even Cedric started to get antsy about Remington.

As the special assistant, Cedric felt he had a crystal–clear view of things. Remington was obviously smitten with his wife and cared a lot about their marriage.

Back when Lizetta was still working in Remington’s office, Cedric would walk in to deliver some documents and catch the boss sneakily checking her out from behind his desk.

Sometimes he’d be so engrossed that he wouldn’t even notice Cedric’s entrance, and that usually stolc, handsome face would break into a goofy grin.

Back then, Cedric was totally shipping Remington and his secret wifey, but who would’ve thought they’d be talking divorce and actually go through with it?

Cedric thought it was just a spat, but nope, they were really getting a divorce.

Cedric believed Remington was too proud, but if it took a ladder to bring him down to earth and chase after Lizetta at the airport, he didn’t mind being that ladder.

“Mr. Dashiell, there’s no hurdle too high for a married couple, right? You and Mrs. Dashiell don’t have any big issues. She’s just miffed about the Ms. Hawthome thing. Just explain it to her properly. She loves you to bits; she’ll stay for sure.”

“You done?” Remington looked at Cedric and asked.

Seeing Remington respond, Cedric got a second wind, nodding vigorously and launching into another impassioned plea.
