nose tingled with emotion, and for a moment, she hesitated to approach.

She feared it was all an illusion, that he didn’t care about herasmuch as she thought

Or perhaps, he wasn’t there waiting for her.

“Are you going to comeoveror what?”

It wasn’t until she heard Remington’s stem voice that Lizetta confirmed her hopes.

Was this his way of making amends?

She thought about it, her earlier frustrations fading away into a bittersweet feeling.

Her heart felt a mix of sour and sweet as she walked over to him, reaching to pluck the cigarette from Remington’s fingers.

“Remington, this is a no–smoking zone in thehospital. With your injuries, smoking isnt good foryou!”

Remington, however, retorted, “Pregnant women should stay away from smoke too!”

“So why are you still smoking!” Lizetta huffed lightly.

Remington crushed the cigarette butt inhispalm, extinguishing it.

He walked over to a trash can to dispose of it, then turned back to her with a cold tone.

“You’re the reason I’m stressed.enough to smoke in the first place!”

Lizetta walked up to him, hands behind her back, locking up into his eyes, “Remington, were you jealous just now?”

She held her breath, hopeful light twinklinginher eyes.

Remington’s lips twitched slightly, “Yes!”

His acknowledgment was so straightforward and firm.

Lizetta’s heart soared as if illuminated by the brightest sunshine, her smile uncontrollable and her cheeks flushing

At that moment, Remington suddenly pulled Lizetta into his embrace, looking down at her.

close to another man?”

“You’re my wife. Isn’t it natural for a husband to feel jealous when his wife is too cl

His tone cooled, “Liz, let this be the last time!”

So, it was all because she was his wife, not becauseofwho she was.

Lizetta suppressed her disappointment, nodding, but still explained.

“Remington, I accidentally fell asleep earlier and thought the person beside me was you.”

Remington, still fuming over the incident, lifted her chin.

“Do you love him?”

Lizetta froze, then shook her head in disbelief.

“Of course not! There’s nothing between Hogan and me. Idon’tlove him. Why would you think that?”

past few Remington scoffed, “He’s been after you for years, even dared to approach the Dashiell family with a marriage proposal. These pa years, he left a promising position with the White family to work at the Dashiell private hospital, scheming to get close to you. You two were kissing in the car, you hid your pregnancy from me, wanting a divorce, and even went to Astoria with him. Just now, you were all over him. How am I supposed to think, hmm?”

Remington’s griponLizetta’s chin tightened, her slender neck bending under his hold.

She looked up at him, his eyes a storm of ice and fire, and his words making an unsettling sense to her.

“I never kissed him!” Lizetta protested weakly.

“Should I remind you? It was in your car parked below Yolanda’s apartment.”

Remington sneered. He had seen it all from the shadows that night.

Hogan had leaned in to kiss Lizetta, who sat passively in the passenger seat without pushing him away.

Even though it was a brief kiss, Remington felt a rage he could hardly contain.

He had yet to properly kiss her himself; how dam Hogan?

Lizetta recalled the incident after some thought, remembering how Remington had pinned her in the dark hallway afterward,andthe had slapped him.

Now, she couldn’t help but laugh at the misunderstanding, “I didn’t, that day my dress got caught in the seat belt buckle, and he was just helping me out!”

The coldness and shadows in Remington’s eyes slowly dissipated when he heard Lizetta’sexplanation.

Still, his expression remained tense ashesuddenly pulled her closer

“Mrs. Dashiell, from now on, you can’t love anyone else but me!”

He could let go of her past affections, but now that she was carrying his child and had chosen to stay by his side, he wouldn’t allow her to have feelings for anyone else.

Lizetta found his words oddly possessive.

ed only with him.

She loved him so dearly, her heart and eyes filled only with him.

Her heart was entirely occupied by him. How could she possibly have room for anyone else?
