Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 913

She suspected he did it on purpose!

Lizetta lifted her head, her eyes accusingly locking onto his. She thought to herself what a load of nonsense, claiming to take things slow; he was just a big

liar.

However, what she was met with was the man's incredibly innocent and sincere gaze. He even looked puzzled as he spoke.

"I noticed you left your clothes out here. I've finished using the bathroom; you can go in now. Where else would you go?"

With that, the man walked to the other side of the bed, not touching her at all.

But Lizetta didn't feel relieved; instead, she felt like she was overthinking things and making a fool of herself. She felt even more awkward.

"What are you standing there for? Go ahead. Or would you rather stay and watch me change?"

Remington had reached the bed and, seeing her frozen in place, teased her with a smile.

He even pretended to tug at the towel around his waist, which sent Lizetta scrambling to grab her clothes and dash into the bathroom.

Remington watched the bathroom door close and took a few deep breaths.

The way she reacted, all flustered and embarrassed like a schoolgirl, was absolutely adorable—and incredibly enticing.

He couldn't help but want to tease her a little, but his body didn't seem to agree with him; even being close was like playing with fire.

With a self-deprecating chuckle, Remington turned to find his clothes.
