She started coughing, and Remington frowned, sitting up to take the ss from her hand and then
busily patting her back.
“Careful now.”
Lizetta caught her breath, “I’m okay now.”
She reached for the ss again, but Remington didn’t let go, “Clumsy, let me help you.”
Saying so, he brought the ss to Lizetta’s lips, motioning for her to open her mouth. Lizetta blinked
and gently parted her lips.
It was just a simple ss of water, but it tasted sweet to her.
But sometimes, the sweeter the moment, the more precious it bes, the more one fears losing it.
Lizetta, out of ce, thought of Evelina again, remembering her boasting words, she looked at
Remington.
“Did you give Evelina a star?”
Remington had just set the ss down, surprised by her sudden question. Remington immediately
thought of something, looked at Lizetta with a
thin smile, and nodded.
“Jealous?”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
Lizetta huffed, “The star names, globally certified and unchangeable. Some say it’s eternal, quite rare.
So, they say, if you love her, give her a star, because that’s the most romantic thing.”
Remington looked at the slight pout on her lips, reaching out to hold her.
“Do you know how many stars are discovered every month now?”
Lizetta shook her head; she wasn’t into astronomy.
She mumbled, “Must be rare, otherwise how could it be romantic?”
But Remingtonughed, “That’s what people who don’t know better say. With today’s observation
technology, every month thousands of new stars are discovered. What’s so special about that?”
Lizetta stared in shock, “Really?”
Remington tapped her head, “Don’t just follow what others say and embarrass me!”
Lizetta felt wronged, “Are you calling me ignorant and stupid, or are you avoiding the subject? Hmph,
you even named that star after Evelina’s name, isn’t it romantic?”
Remington sighed, “First, that star was a gift to that child, because the child was born fatherless.
There’s a saying that people be stars when they pass away. I chose a star discovered on the day
Quinn passed away to give to that child, hoping it would bring somefort to Quinn’s spirit. It has
nothing to do with Evelina. Second, I gave Evelina the right to name that star. The name was chosen
by Evelina herself, nothing to do with me.”
After exining, Remington pinched Lizetta’s cheek, “Mrs. Dashiell, are you satisfied with this
exnation?”
Hearing his exnation, Lizetta felt much better, the cloud lifting, but she pursed her lips, ying hard
to get.
“It’s passable, unless you promise me, from now on, never to see Evelina alone. Whenever you see
her, I must be there!”
Evelina was like a crazed woman in her obsession, and Lizetta felt uneasy about them having any
contact or involvement.
Even though Remington had no interest in Evelina, Lizetta didn’t want them to have any unnecessary
interactions.
Remington looked at her amusingly, silent.
Lizetta felt extremely ufortable under his gaze, flustered and annoyed, “Won’t you agree?
Remember, you’re the husband on probation, be careful or I might.”
Remington saw her getting anxious and finallyughed, his voice calm and soothing.
“Agreed, I just didn’t expect you to be so possessive, huh?”
Lizetta, teased, felt a bit embarrassed, and huffed.
“Men and women are the same, if men can be possessive, so can wel Anyway, you’re a married man,
keeping a distance from other women is basic decency for a husband! Or else, as a probationary
husband, you might as well pack up and prepare to be dumped.” Remington chuckled, about to reply
when the hospital room door was knocked at that moment.
