Liam instantly tensed up in extreme nervousness. His grumpy voice softened at once. Liam said softly,

�Boss? Why didn�t you tell me? You suddenly returned to Beach City. What if you get hurt?�

�I didn�t plan to stay long this time, so I didn�t tell you,� Renee said. Then, she teased Liam, "l didn�t know you�re so fierce. I thought you never got angry. You�re Leia�s brother. How can you bully your sister?�

�That�s not it!� Liam raised his voice and shouted anxiously. However, he immediately lowered his voice again after realizing he had lost his temper, �It�s my nature to be gentle and mature, but Lei was too ignorant this time. I got anxious and��

�Pfft. Hahaha!� Leia could not stand it anymore and burst out laughing.

�Liam, can you behave normally? What�s with your voice? It�s too low. It�s so abnormal. Can�t you speak in your real voice?�

Liam clenched his teeth and reminded Leia with a smile, �Lei, you got too much allowance this month. I�ll consider reducing it.�

�No, no, no. I�m sorry! Bro, I�m really sorry!�

Leia immediately put up her hands in surrender. She explained to Renee, �Ren, don�t get me wrong. My brother is indeed a mature, stable, and reliable man. He fits your criteria as a spouse perfectly. He�s also the perfect daddy for Adie and Abby. So don�t lose faith in him, or he�ll kill me.�

�Haha, I know. I�ve known him for years. I know his character!�

Renee said to Liam on the phone, �Don�t worry. I won�t change my opinion of you. You�ve already scored a hundred points for me. Wait until I get all this mess sorted out. We�ll get married when I settle into Beach City.�

�R-really?!� Happiness struck Liam so quickly like a bolt of lightning. He was so happy that he almost fainted, and his soft voice turned high-pitched.

Liam just could not help it. He had been through a lot while chasing Renee all these years. It was his dream to marry Renee. He wanted to be her support, giving her a shoulder to lean on and be the father to her two babies.

Renee rejected Liam�s pursuit initially, but his persistence slowly impressed her. Soon, Renee requested Liam to be more mature and stable. She did not like how he constantly acted impulsively, just like a child.

Renee even created a list of criteria for Liam. Some requirements would increase her points for him, and some would decrease them. With a lot of patience, sincerity, and heart, Liam got from zero to a hundred points!

�Yes!� Renee nodded, her eyes slightly red. �Thanks for your support all these years. You trusted me and gave me your unconditional backing in everything. Adie, Abby, and I have long considered you as part of our family!"

Renee and Liam�s conversation on the phone was so heartwarming that anyone who listened to it would surely tear up.

Leia, shedding tears, croaked emotionally, �Liam, you�re amazing� You�ve finally succeeded in your pursuit of my best friend Renee!�

Renee was unperturbed by her recent stint in the trending news. After washing up, Renee wore a black dress and light makeup, ready to visit her parents gravesite.

Today was a special day. It was the ninth anniversary of her parents death. JrNovels.com
