Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 923

It all seemed like a sweet, dream-like moment just a little while ago.

Now, with her avoiding him and acting like she couldn't stand the sight of him, it felt painfully real.

The contrast was truly heartbreaking.

Remington looked a bit hurt, standing his ground by the door.

"Can't I just stay in the room?"

"No way! If Grandpa finds out I've gone all mushy and tangled up with you again, he'd probably book a private jet and fly over here instantly!"

Lizetta said, pushing Remington with more determination.

Clinging to the doorframe, he pleaded, "You take your call. I won't interrupt or make a sound."

It was his last stand.

The video call had been ringing for a while and suddenly ended on its own.

Lizetta let out a sigh of relief, only for the ringtone to erupt once more, sounding even more urgent.

Worried that her grandpa might be getting anxious, she didn't have time to deal with Remington anymore.

She gave him a warning gesture to keep quiet, then turned to the couch to answer the call.
