He didn't know when he would see her again after this separation. Maybe she'd fall for another man, maybe he'd soon hear about her getting remarried, or maybe their paths would never cross again. So, he didn't want to make her cry anymore. He didn't want tears to be his parting gift.

Remington changed the subject, "Liz, I don't know what Daphne did to make you despise me even more, but I still have to ask, do you still hate me?"

Lizetta blinked, hiding the warmth in her eyes, and countered his question with one of her own. "Do you want me to hate you?"
