Tm no saint, I despise her! You expect me to embrace her child, to wee her into my life as if


    Evelina won’t constantly haunt us, stiming trouble of every tum Staying under these circumstances, Id


    feel like I’m debasing myself, unless you rify… Mmm!”


    Lizettos rant was abruptly cut off as the man seized her by the nape and pressed his lips against hers


    His kiss, fiery and domineering with a hint of punishment, made Lizetta’s heart flutter and her knees


    weak, Involuntarily finding herself seated on hisp, lost in the deepening kiss.


    It wasn’t unti! he released her, breathless, that he voiced his difort. You’ve hurt ma” Looking down,


    Lizetta realized that in her unconscious attempt to push him away, she had inadvertently scratched at


    an injury beneath his clothes.


    Feeling both guilty and defiant, she released the grip on his hospital gown, shooting Remington a sharp


    re.


    “Serves you night! You shouldn’t have kissed me out of nowhere without exining yourself first!”


    Remington chuckled, lifting Lizetta’s chin gently.


    “So, staying by my side equates to degrading yourself?”


    Lizetta pursed her lips, her voice soft with a mix of grievance and coquetry, and a hint of arrogance.


    “It does, unless you exin.”


    Her tone was like a book, ensnaring Remington’s heart, leaving him no choice but to relent to her


    demands.


    He released Lizetta, leaning slightly to grab his smartphone from the table, and handed it to her,


    saying, “Here, look at this paternity


    test.”


    Lizetta gave Remington a quick nce before taking the phone, focusing on the report disyed on


    the screen.


    It wasn’t just any paternity test, but a gic test confirming a grandparent–grandchild rtionship.


    Seeing the results, Lizetta was puzzled, “Whose grandchild is this?”


    She scrolled further, spotting the name Martin West and gasped in shock.


    “This child is your godfather’s grandchild, so that means Quinn’s child?”


    Quinn, the only son of the West family, shared a closer bond with Remington than even Cassius and


    Timothy could im.


    They were practically brothers, perhaps even closer, with Quinn being a year older than Remington. It


    was no surprise that Remington treated Quinn’s child as his own nephew.


    For the past couple of years, Quinn had been managing the West family’s overseas business, much


    like Evelina, often staying in Celestia


    Recalling how Evelina returned to the country alongside Remington and the West family. Lizetta finally


    understood why they were together.


    However, confusion soon returned.


    “If it’s Quinn’s child, why all the secrecy? If Evelina’s with Quinn, shouldn’t he be looking after his own


    child? Why are you always the one running around for him? And about that paternity test was


    pressured into, it seemed like the Wests had no idea the child was Quinns‘


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “It’s because the child is Quinn’s posthumous son, Remington’s voice was thick with emotion


    Posthumous son?


    Did that mean Quinn had passed away?


    Lizetta looked up in shock, “But I just saw on the financial news a few days ago, the West family’s Nova


    Tech Innovations went public, and Quinn was there for the bell–ringing ceremony.”
