Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1219

"Alright."

Liz exchanged a glance with Remington before walking toward the door.

After a couple of steps, she glanced back at Zoey, who was still awkwardly hovering nearby. Stopping in her tracks, she turned and held her hand out to Remington.

Remington was momentarily taken aback. In the past, Liz had always been incredibly careful to maintain a polite distance when the Madden household staff were around.

But now, she was actively reaching out for him. He knew exactly what this meant. She was making a statement to the family's staff.

Regardless of whether Nelson had approved of him yet, and regardless of what Nelson's final stance might be, she had chosen him.

A brilliant warmth danced in Remington's deep eyes as he stepped forward and laced his fingers securely with hers.

The two of them walked out of the kitchen together. Standing behind them, Zoey caught sight of their tightly intertwined hands out of the corner of her eye, feeling a sudden warmth in her chest. Watching young people fall in love was undeniably charming—it almost made her feel younger herself.

The moment they stepped into the study, Nelson immediately zeroed in on their joined hands.

"Grandpa, you asked for us?" Liz inquired directly as they came to a halt in front of the heavy mahogany desk.

Clearly, Nelson wouldn't have summoned Remington as well unless it was something serious.

Jerome was also present, seated on the sofa nearby.

Nelson's eyes remained glued to their intertwined hands. His gaze darkened, shifting up to glare pointedly at Remington.

He repeated this visual cycle twice, making his silent demand extremely obvious.

*Let go of my precious granddaughter's hand, you brat.*

Yet Remington wore an expression of perfect innocence, looking entirely unfazed as if he completely missed the old man's lethal hints.

Naturally, his grip on Liz's hand didn't loosen an inch.

Giving up on him, Nelson turned his oppressive glare onto Liz, dialing up the pressure.

Liz simply blinked, mimicking Remington's flawless act of playing dumb.

Nelson felt his chest tighten with exasperation. These two were entirely cut from the same shameless cloth!
