Chapter 241 

Remington, clearly impatient, yanked Joseph up by the collar. 

Remington thought “What’s with this like or dislike stuff? Does he think we’re still in elementary school?” 

The mess between him and Lizetta was way too complicated to be summed up with a simple like or dislike 

“Remi, you’re beyond help!” 

Joseph grunted and shoved Remington away, then bolted towards Lizetta, who wasn’t too far off. 

“Liz, you better get a divorce and find someone else to crush on. Liking just one person is way too exhausting. You gotta go for, like, seventy or eighty.” 

Lizetta caught him as he ran up to her, squatting down to dust him off. 

She rubbed her chest nonchalantly, feeling an odd, hollow sensation there–not painful, but definitely there. 

She grinned at Joseph, “Alright, I will give it a shot, try a mixed bag of types.” 

Remington turned around and walked over, looking down at Lizetta. 

“Liking one person is tiring, liking a whole crowd is gonna be a killer” 

Lizetta stood up with a smirk. 

“Well, you never know, I might just be capable of loving a bunch of guys.” 

She took Joseph’s hand and they started walking away, with Joseph rolling his eyes dramatically at Remington. 

Total lost cause. Can’t deal with him! 

Remington went ahead and opened the back door of the car for them, then looked at Lizetta. 

“It’s late. rii drive you home.” 

He was still driving that Cullinan that Evelina had ridden in before, which made Lizetta feel a bit queasy. 

She shook her head, “Jo needs rest. If you drive me and then him, it’ll be too late. No need for the hassle, I can easily call a cab.” 

But Remington’s expression turned serious, insisting, 

“Get in the car! No way y I’m leaving you here this late.” 

Lizetta pouted, thinking to herself that it wasn’t like he hadn’t ditched her before. 

Last time she was just chilling at home, and he had the nerve to drag her out and make her get out of the car barefoot, 

“Liz, I’m not going back! I want to stay with you tonight!” 

Joseph clung to Lizetta’s waist, refusing to let go and cooing for attention, his head burrowed into her 

He’d gotten taller, up to Lizetta’s chest now. 

Remington’s handsome face darkened as he pulled Joseph away by the scruff of his neck and dumped 

Joseph scrambled up, protesting loudly. 

“Remi, are you the devil or what?” 

“Boys don’t whine!” Remington’s voice was stem as he slammed the car door r shut. 

But then Joseph slid down the window, poked his head out and pleaded. 

to the back seat. 

“Remi, you just don’t get it. The boys who know how to sweet talk are the luckiest. Liz, let me come home with you, pleasel” 

The little guy pouted, clinging 

g to the window, the picture of misery. 

Holding Joseph just now, Lizetta had felt how despite his growth, he was still just a bag of bones underneath his clothes, all frail and 

empty. 

He must have suffered a lot being sick lately, and with her going abroad in a few days, who knew when she’d see Joseph again. 

She nodded, “Get back inside, don’t catch a cold. I promise you” 

“Yay! See that?” Joseph shot a triumphant look at Remington and closed the window. 

Remington let out a chuckle, guiding Lizetta by the arm towards the passenger side and said. 

“Let’s not drag this out. Have him lie down in the back and get some sleep.

Lizetta nodded and took her place in the passenger seat. 

On the road, Joseph must have really been tired, as he lay quietly in the back, fast asleep. 

Lizetta whispered to Remington, “How’s Joseph’s health?” 

“A special medical team’s on it, and things are under control for now. They’re working on a new drug, but progress is slow 

Remington spoke calmly, but the slight tension in his jawline weighed on Lizetta’s heart 

She turned to look at Joseph. 

Remington caught a glimpse of the worry and compassion brimming in her eyes. 

A pang of jealousy hit him hard. He used to be the one she cared about the most. 

But now, it seemed everyone else took precedence. 

“I had wounds that wouldn’t heal for ages, and you weren’t half as worried.” 

He blurted it out, and Lizetta laughed, looking at him. 

“How can you even bring that up? Lucky for me I didn’t worry, or I’d be the biggest fool around!” 

And it wasn’t like she hadn’t been worried; she was very concerned those days, only to find out he and Cedric had been pulling her leg.
