Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption ( Lizetta ) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 

I’ll have a warm glass of milk.” 

The server was on the ball and quickly brought over the warm milk

Lucian grabbed it and handed it straight to Lizetta, Stomach acting up just now? How come I didn’t know you had a bad stomach?” 

Lizetta took the milk and sipped it

With the warm milk hitting her empty stomach, she felt a lot better

She turned to Lucian with a grin that reached her eyes, Lucian, look at you all grown up and caring for others. When did that happen?” 

Lucian was barely two years older than Lizetta and they had gone to the same school from elementary through high school

Back in middle school Lizetta skipped a grade and they even shared a class. By high school, she became Lucian’s senior, but their relationship was always pretty rocky

They couldn’t stand each other as kids, and Lucian often bullied Lizetta on the sly

The ice only broke between them in the halfyear before Lucian went abroad; they got closer back then because they’ve grown more mature and also due to some incidents

The Lucian in Lizetta’s memory was selfcentered and wouldn’t bother to care for anyone

Underestimating me, huh? I’m now a ladiesman with fans all over the globe. Think I haven’t changed?” 

Lizetta raised an eyebrow and clinked her glass against his

Milk instead of booze, here’s to you, Lucian, for chasing your dreams!” 

There was genuine happiness in Lizetta’s eyes, but also a touch of melancholy. Her dream of dancing was cut short four years ago

After her affair with Remington, Hanna was so ashamed that she hardly let Lizetta step out of the house for two 

years

After she married Remington, the idea of dancing in public was even more out of the question

Lucian smirked, ruffling Lizetta’s hair playfully

You can dow 

too.” 

I’m afraid it’s too late.” 

Chasing dreams is never too late. Trust me, believe in Lucian.” 

He downed his drink in one go, and Lizetta laughed again

The two of them chatted away in a cozy and affectionate manner

Remington leaned over to grab a cigarette case from the table, and leaned back lazily against the leather chair

He licked the bottom of the case, knocking out a cigarette which he pinched elegantly between his fingers and tossing the case back on the table with a clatter that briefly stilled the atmosphere around them

But the pair engrossed in conversation didn’t even look up

Remington let out a cold snort; he was about to look for a lighter when Evelina, by his side, already had a flame ready, Remi, let me.” 

1/2 

Remington’s cool gaze fixed on her, and from up close, the man’s stunningly handsome face was mesmerizing

His indifferent eyes seemed to look through you, but were never really seeing you

But the desire to conquer isn’t unique to men, and such men are fatally attractive to women

Evelina’s heart raced, and her fingers holding the flame trembled slightly. Just when she thought Remington would refuse, he leaned in towards the light and took a deep drag

His cheeks were hollowed slightly, sharpening the already chiseled lines of his face, making him even more strikingly handsome

Evelina blushed: her heart was burning hot.. 

But in the next second, she saw Remington casually adjust his tie and turned his head slightly as he exhaled 

with a look of distaste

The exposed part of his neck revealed a deep kiss mark

Evelina’s heart, once hot, felt doused with cold water, and her expression soured instantly

She didn’t have to guess who left that mark, and it wasn’t there before, so they must have been passionately kissing just while they were outside

Evelina glanced at Lizetta instinctively, who was wearing a white Vneck Tshirt with a noticeable hickey on her swanlike neck

Evelina was close to exploding with anger and jealousy
