Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 830

"Alright, alright, next time Liz tells a joke, I'll be the first one to laugh, alright? If Liz gives a big smile, I'll match it, tooth for tooth, okay?" Her cheeks flushed at his indulgent tone, and she shot him a playful glare.

"Then show me a big, eight-tooth grin right now."

Remington? Laugh that openly? That was a rare sight. He immediately frowned and stood up, pretending to chase after her.

"I'll see when you've got the guts to tease me again, you cheeky little thing!"

Startled, she took off running.

"Liz?"

Remington called out, thinking she might have hung up on him again. He glanced at his phone to check the call.

Liz, jolted back to reality by his call, felt her heart flutter, perhaps due to the fondness of the memory.

"If you're not busy, I was just about to head out for lunch..."

She said hurriedly, but Remington interrupted her.

"I've unblocked you on WhatsApp. No need to keep my number blocked, right?"
