�If you�re too enthisiastic in helping him, he might misunderstand your intentions and think that you�re still into him or something. It might lead to some unnecessary drama� unless you actually want that.�

Leia found Liam�s advice reasonable. �Stefan Hunt is so self-absorbed too, so he�ll definitely think you haven�t moved on from him. I think it�s unnecessary too.�

�You�re right.� Renee nodded. She realized that she was being too hospitable, and it would be hard for anyone to not misunderstand�

The woman then promised the two, and also herself, �I�ll be more careful in the future.�

After talking for a while, Leia held hands with William and got up to leave.

�Hold on.� Renee called out to them. �I have something I�d like to discuss with Mr. Jones privately, is that okay?

�Of course!� Leia agreed without any hesitation. She was just like her brother, and trusted Renee completely.

�Bestie, help me keep an eye on that guy, I trust your judgment.�

Before Leia left, she smirked at Renee, then patted William on the shoulder. �Do your best, but if my bestie won�t give us her blessing, I will never marry you!�

�Don�t worry, I�m confident that Miss Everheart can see how genuine my feelings are for you.�

William smiled, looking at Renee with certainty. �Right, Miss Everheart?�

�Maybe.� Renee�s lips curved upwards as she said mysteriously.

As the siblings left the ward together, the smile on Renee�s face disappeared, and her gaze turned cold. �Close the door, please.�

William was rather cooperative, approaching Renee with a warm smile. �I�m sure you�ve already looked into my past, Miss Everheart.�

Renee seemed quite surprised, huffing coldly. �You�re smarter than I thought.�

�You�re too kind, Miss Everheart. Leia talks about you a lot, so I know you�re a devoted, careful, and meticulous person. Now that your best friend is marrying all of a sudden, it�s reasonable for you to look into me.�

�Good, not only are you intelligent, but you�re quite understanding too. It�s true that I can�t nitpick much.�

Renee had never expected William to be so humble. He wasn�t mad that she looked into his background, which made her feel slightly ashamed of her own actions.

�Come clean yourself then, what�s your purpose of getting close to Leia?� Renee asked straightforwardly, not intending to waste her time and energy.

William smiled softly. �That�s an odd question, isn�t it, Miss Everheart? I love Leia, so I approached her because I want to be with her. I�d like to become her husband and stay together for eternity.� JrNovels.com
