Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 

Remington’s cool, detached gaze swept over the woman who was frantic to the extreme

His grip on the phone tightened a notch, and with a cold smirk, he said, No need.” 

What do you mean no need? Are you going to flipflop again? Why won’t you agree to a divorce? With the way you’re acting, I’m starting to think you’ve fallen for me and can’t let go!Lizetta blurted out in desperation

Remington’s expression was momentarily unreadable, and he raised an eyebrow, If I said I loved you and couldn’t live without you, would that stop the divorce?” 

Lizetta felt like she’d been suckerpunched, her mind thundering with his words

She stared at Remington, his mocking smile and the icy calm in his eyes snapping her back to reality

No one confesses love with that look, certainly not with such a sarcastic tone

Besides, how could Remington possibly love her and not bear to part with her

Hadn’t two years of a cold, loveless marriage clued her in

Lizetta clenched her fists, What’s done is done, there’s no turning back now. We’re getting divorce today.” 

She fixed her gaze on Remington

On that strikingly handsome face, there was no sign of sadness or the embarrassment of being rejected, just endless mockery and nonchalance

He tapped on his phone casually, Of course, we’ll divorce.” 

He flipped the phone in his hand and redialed Cedric

The phone rang again, and Cedric, like he was handling a hot potato, dared not ignore it

Do you 

need a raise for all this drama you’re stirring up?” 

Remington’s voice was deep and carried an ominous displeasure for Cedric’s meddling

Cedric hastily replied, Mr. Dashiell, I’ll get it immediately and bring it to you.” 

After hanging up, Remington glanced at Lizetta with a look that seemed to say, Don’t flatter yourself, you’re overthinking things big time.” 

Lizetta felt embarrassed and bit her lip, turning to look out the window

The car fell into an awkward silence until they stopped at the civil affairs office

Cedric hadn’t arrived yet, and the driver, probably feeling the heavy air, took the opportunity to make a quick getaway as soon as he parked

10:051 

Now It was just Lizetta and Remington in the car, he leaned back to rest with his eyes closed, while she couldn’t help but sneak glances at him

Even without the romance, he was still the most important man in her life

He had played too many roles in her story

Her savior, her light, her idol, her guide, he was like a brother, like a father, and also the lover she yearned for but couldn’t have

For the rest of her life, Lizetta knew, even if time healed all wounds and taught her to lover someone else, it would never be as deep and unforgettable as her love for the man before her

No one would ever etch their name in her heart with such vivid strokes as he did

Never again

With that thought, it felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart

Lizetta almost blurted out her desire to not go through with the divorce and give it another
