Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1030

She hadn't expected him to be so brazen, laying it out directly to Martin West.

But upon a moment's reflection, Liz understood his strategy. This nanny's sole purpose was to protect and care for Ron, not to gather intel.

By sending her in openly and officially, her presence would be undeniable.

Knowing the nanny reported directly to Remington, Martin and Stella would be forced to treat Ron exceptionally well. This overt protection was unequivocally the safest option for the boy.

"Remington, if you're willing to go to such lengths, that's wonderful. We have an agreement, then. Take all the time you need to find the perfect person. I have complete peace of mind knowing Ron is with you."

Martin agreed with remarkable ease.

Hanging up, Remington looked at Liz, who was still holding Ron.

"Ron will be staying at Oakridge Heights for a few more days. Will you stay and help take care of him?"

A look of deep hesitation crossed Liz's face.

If he had asked her this yesterday, it would have been an instant, categorical 'no'.

But after spending last night caring for him, waking up to his soft, squishy little face this morning, and everything else...

Liz felt she could no longer view him as just another child. An invisible bond had formed; she felt a distinct, undeniable sense of responsibility toward him.

However, if she just casually moved back into Oakridge Heights now, what would that say?

It was far too soon. If Grandpa found out, he'd probably chase her down with his cane in absolute fury.

And then there was Yoli.

Seeing her waver, Remington stepped forward to take Ron from her arms.

"It's alright. I understand your reservations. The nanny should be arriving shortly. He'll be in good hands, so you can leave with peace of mind. Whenever you miss him—or me—just call, and I'll come pick you up."

He sounded exactly like a devoted, stay-at-home dad bravely holding down the fort.
