NovelOnlineLizetta shyly pushed against his chest, dodging him, "Someone might see."
Remington slightly lifted his head away, caressing her flushed lips, his voice a low murmur, "The coast's already
clear."
Lizetta turned her head, indeed surprised to find that the two clerks had discreetly vanished. But this only made
her feel more embarrassed. She shot Remington an annoyed glance. "Can't you mind the setting? You used to be
so different!"
Back in the day, he was aloof, barely even willing to kiss her on their wedding day. Now, it seemed like he had
turned into a kissing fiend, ready to lean in for a kiss at any moment. Lizetta then remembered the teasing
remarks the clerks had made about her.
"Don't likethis way?" His voice, rough and close, whispered as he pecked her lips again, his eyes narrowing

Lizetta, cheeks aflame, shyly wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss, saying, "I do like it, just
not used to, you know, in front of others. They were teasingjust now." "How were they teasing you?"
"They said you must really lovea lot, caring so much about my comfort."
Lizetta looked into Remington's eyes, her heart racing uncontrollably.
Did he love her? She never dared to ask, and he had never said it outright, not even a simple "I like you".
But lately, he had changed a lot, showing care, sharing his thoughts, refusing to let her go, his kisses passionate,
sometimes even showing jealousy.
Lizetta felt that even if it wasn't love, there was definitely affection. She hoped to hear a confirmation from him.
Even if he just told her he liked her, she would unhesitatingly tell him how much she loved him, how her love had
never wavered over the years.
But Remington merely kissed her forehead and gently turned her around. He wrapped his arms around her from
behind, and Lizetta then saw a large mirror in front of them. Their embracing figures were clearly visible.
Remington leaned in, his chin grazing the top of Lizetta's head as he spoke, "Look at you, aren't you a beautiful
sight?"
Lizetta saw her reflection in a pristine white wedding gown, truly stunning. She also saw the undisguised
admiration in Remington's eyes. And their posture, so intimately entwined. Yet, a shadow seemed to fall over her
heart. At this moment, she remembered in Barbara's hospital room when she reached for Remington's hand, and
he instinctively pulled away.
Was he deflecting now? No, he probably just didn't understand her anticipation, thinking she was just making
conversation.

Lizetta, not wanting to leave it at that, decided to be even more direct, "Remington, lookin the eyes and
answer me, do you..."
Lizetta gazed at the man in the mirror who was behind her; but before she could finish, his phone rang. He
immediately released her to check it, telling Lizetta.
"The dress is perfect; let's go with this one. I'll have Sophia cto finalize your measurements. | need to take
this call.”
With a pat on her head, he turned and walked downstairs, phone to his ear.
Lizetta stood there, watching his retreating figure, suddenly feeling the warmth of the store wasn't enough; she
felt a chill.
She hugged herself, a surge of boldness prompting her to consider snatching his phone away. She wanted to ask
him, was that call really so urgent, or was her question just too hard for him to answer? Lizetta lifted her gown's
hem.
