Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Inside his mom's belly, the little one couldn't stand it anymore, and started throwing some serious punches and kicks towards his shameless dad. Remington was gobsmacked.

He stared in disbelief at Lizetta's protruding belly, then touched the spot where he'd felt the kick.

The strength wasn't much, after all, it was a fetus still inside the womb.

But to Remington, it felt incredibly profound, his heart trembling with a peculiar sensation.

He looked up, his eyes intense, a slight smile curving his lips, and in a raspy voice, he said.

"That's my kid, alright! Impressive!"

Lizetta, "..."

Even Daisyy seems annoyed with him, can't he tell?

Clearly, Remington was oblivious.

Because he wrapped his arms around Lizetta's waist again, pressing his handsome face gently against her, and spoke warmly to Daisyy. "Daisyy, missing daddy? Say hi to daddy again."

This time, Daisyy was quiet, proving that the man was just full of himself.

But Remington was persistent, gently poking Lizetta's belly, left and right.

Lizetta looked down at his thick head of hair, feeling the care and anticipation in his movements, her heart swelling with unspoken emotions.

In that moment, they seemed like a sweet couple eagerly awaiting their baby's arrival.
