Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 894

Remington shifted his gaze from Shawn back to the waitress with a cool detachment.

"It's just me tonight. Oh, and my bear here, my only companion. So, there's no need for a private booth. Sitting out here is just fine."

With those words, he finally placed the teddy bear he had been holding under one arm onto the sofa chair next to their table.

The teddy ended up sitting side by side with Lizetta, while Remington, with his long legs, took a seat across from her, facing her directly.

Lizetta found herself torn between laughter and discomfort, somewhat uneasy in her seat.

She looked at Remington, her eyes filled with questions.

Yet, Remington wasn't looking at her. Instead, he asked the waitress, "What did they order?"

Following his gaze, the waitress glanced over at Lizetta and Shawn's table before turning back and saying, "Sir, they're having a fondue."

But fondue, when eaten alone, seemed too melancholic a sight. The waitress, observing the man before her - distinguished yet solitary, accompanied only by a bear - couldn't help but imagine a sad drama unfolding.

Such a handsome man shouldn't be eating fondue alone, she thought.
