Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel 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.

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

"Grandpa, Grandma, are you missing me already?"

On the screen, two warm, loving faces appeared, beaming at her.

Lizetta's voice softened, instinctively slipping into a sweet, affectionate tone.

Grandpa Nelson immediately noticed that the room Lizetta was in seemed a bit off.

Grandma Bernice, however, just cheerfully waved at Lizetta.
