Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 284

When Remington reached out to help Lizetta fuck a strand of hair behind her ear for the umpteenth time, she blocked his hand.

She turned to look at him, “Remi, aren’t you gonna grab a bite?”

It seemed like Remington had been so busy fussing over her that he hadn’t even touched his silverware.

“I had a bite earlier. I’m good just watching you eat.”

Lizetta was left speechless

But being watched like a hawk while eating was kind of a pressure cooker for her.

“I’ll get indigestion, what are you up to?”

Lizetta put down her utensils and faced Remington, deciding to ditch the meal altogether.

A shadow passed over Remington’s deep eyes. He just wanted to have a meal with her, and now she was talking indigestion.

Remington’s lips pressed into a thin line, he nodded slightly, and stood up.

“I’ll be in the living room. Have a little more to eat.”

He strode towards the living room, leaving Lizetta biting her lip, sensing a tinge of loneliness in his departing figure.

She instantly felt a pang of guilt, as if she’d done something to wound him.
