But this just made it even harder for Lizetta to swallow, it was downright pathetic
Her eyes were zing with fury. “Yeah, I wanted kids before, but now, no way, no how! I’m still young,
why should I go off the deep end and pop out babies for some old geezer! I’m not ying tricks, I’m
dead serious about getting a divorce!”
“Ha, divorce? Screw up, trash my stuff, and then wave divorce in my face like some kind of threat!
Don’t forget how younded the title of Mrs. Dashiell. You gotta earn the right to even talk about
splitting up”
He justughed off her words, not even finding them funny. He seemed livid, a vein throbbing on his
forehead as he gripped her chin andmanded.

“Take it back!”
“Or what? I’ll spit in your face and we’ll see if you can take that back, Lizetta shot back defiantly, locking
eyes
with him.
In the distance, the re of approaching headlights shone, casting a pale light on Lizetta’s ashen face
and her nearly bare, baster body. She was terrified and tried to dodge out of the way, but Remington
held her shoulder firmly. The light grew brighter, and he watched her disheveled helplessness with
malicious
amusement.
Lizetta was shaking and cowering, wisely yelling out, “I’m sorry!”
The next second, the man grabbed a nket and wrapped her up in it haphazardly, while Lizetta
scrambled to the side in a panic.
He let her crawl away, picking up the shredded dress and shaking it out in disbelief.
Of course, no earring would fall out. Only then did Remington believe that the earrings were truly gone.
“Look at you, growing a backbone! Lizetta, there’s a limit to this nonsense!”
Those earrings had its significance, she tossed it away over some petty issue, and had the guts to
bring up
divorce.
After his cold words, Remington straightened his clothes, got out of the car, mmed the door hard,
and headed for the driver’s seat.
Lizetta curled up, mping her lips shut, scared that if she opened her mouth, she would burst into
tears.
He didn’t love her, didn’t trust her, and would never see her scars. Even now, he still thought she was
just acting
up
He didn’t realize the courage she had to muster just to let go of the earrings. Her face was pale, her
eyes hollow and empty
Remington, with a stern face, nced at her through the rearview mirror, feeling a twinge of heartache
and an almost imperceptible panic
In the past, she would have thrown herself at him and begged for forgiveness when he got mad, but
today
The car was eerily silent Back at the vi, Remington carried Lizetta, nket and all, out of the car
Edith was at the hospital, no one was home, and the ce was pitch ck.
Remington carried Lizetta up to the second floor and into the bathroom. The sound of running water
filled the space, and Lizetta struggled to lift her head. “What are you doing?”
“ying dead no more?”
Remington ripped off the nket and dumped Lizetta right into the tub. The water in the tub was
shallow and a bit cool, Lizetta’s right leg was propped on the edge of the tub, her legs forced apart in a
humiliating position

She tried to pull her leg back, but Remington held her knee down.
“I’ve got no interest in fools flirting with death! Warm up and get out to treat those wounds, and keep
your feet dry.”
He left after saying that, not lingering any longer.
The water in the tub gradually warmed, and Lizetta copsed from exhaustion. On the balcony,
Remington tore off his tie and lit a cigarette, his Adam’s apple bobbing, smoke billowing out.
His voice, raspy from the smoke, spoke into the phone, giving the license te number, “Go get those
earrings back.”
At the hospital lobby, Lizetta still had the earrings on; it wasn’t hard to guess where they were.
A torn set of condoms, piled up in the trash can, Remington’s gaze drifted over, the smoke swirling, the
irritation in his eyes slowly fading.
The same person who was scheming to have kids a moment ago, now talking about divorce, really?
Wrapped in a bathrobe, Lizetta limped out of the bathroom as Remington sat on the edge of the bed on
the phone.
“Yeah, rest up, I’lle see you tomorrow.”
Lizetta’s eyshes drooped as she walked towards the sofa.
At two in the morning, still having the energy to mess around with someone else’s man, Evelina must
be some kind of angelic witch, sharp as a tack; who needed rest?
She grumbled internally, and before her butt hit the sofa, Remington scooped her up onto his shoulder.
His towering height – six foot two – made Lizetta let out a scream, disoriented and tossed onto the bed.
She scrambled up, furious and ready to cuss him out, but a wave of nausea hit, and she rushed to the
side of the bed to throw up.
Her back was patted, and Remington handed her a tissue. Lizetta caught her breath, leaning against
the headboard, and he handed her a ss of water.
She had barely taken a sip when he asked, “Pregnant?”
