Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 895

Liz had just spoken his name when Remington suddenly looked up, his dark eyes revealing a depth of emotion that seemed almost fragile despite his stern voice.

"If you're not going to explain yourself, then maybe you shouldn't speak at all. I might just get angry enough to take you back home with me!" he said, his voice tense with an underlying threat.

The hint of darkness that flashed in his eyes was something he blurted out in frustration, but he noticed the change in Liz's expression immediately.

Liz's face paled slightly, as memories of past grievances surged uncontrollably back to her.

She had intended to explain, but now her gaze softened.

"Yeah, it's not like you haven't done that before," she said, her lips curving in a smile that was more a sharp dagger aimed straight at Remington's heart.

Remington's expression shifted, panic and unease flitting across his eyes.

He gripped Liz's hand tighter, almost stammering in his haste to clarify.

"No, I didn't mean it like that. I just said it without thinking, and I won't do it again. Liz, you have to believe me!"

He noticed her fingers were cold in his palm, rubbing them gently, his face showing remorse.
