Chapter 373
Leia stood up and shouted enthusiastically as the wind gushed across them.
"Hold tight!" Renee tenderly advised Leia.
She, too, was overjoyed.
Despite the fact that she had been living peacefully on Sun Island, Beach City was her home. It was her ancestors' origins from where she came from.
Her friends and family were here, as were the bittersweet memories she would never forget. She felt a sense of belonging here. So she decided to return when the moment was perfect when she was powerful enough to defend those she cared about.
The vehicle gradually slowed, and Leia's enthusiasm faded as she sat quietly in the passenger seat, growing inquisitive about Renee.
"Ren, tell me secretly, what are your plans now that you've unexpectedly returned? Why are you keeping it such a secret that even Liam is unaware?"
Renee's unexpected return to Beach City was only known to Leia. Renee even requested her to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, including Liam.
Renee said quietly, "There's no plan." She clutched the steering wheel with one hand and supported her head with the other. "I miss my home and want to go back. Besides, I want to restore the Everheart house so the two children will have a place to live when they arrive."
When Leia heard this, her irises glowed, and she became enthralled all over again. "Do you intend to bring them back to Beach City permanently?"
Renee made no denials. "If everything goes well," she said, raising her brows.
"Everything will be great!"
"It would be great if you could come back here. We can go out whenever we want. You have no idea how lonely I've been these few years you've been gone. I don't have a buddy to hang out with. Those who approach me with the goal of becoming my friends will never be able to contend with you."
Renee felt bad for Leia and encouraged her like she was encouraging her own daughter, Abby. "I know the last few years have been difficult for you. When I return, you won't be alone, and we'll be the best pair ever!"
"How soon before you'll be back? Are you sure you're not going to lie to me again?"
For the past few years, Leia had been praying like crazy for Renee's return.
Every time when they were on call, Renee's answer would always be, 'Just wait for a while; the time isn't perfect yet.' And so she waited... for four years.
"For four years, you lied to me. I witnessed Aiden and Abby's development from small infants to large kids. They progressed from speaking nonsense to being completely capable of arguing with me. Despite this, I never saw them. How could you treat me this way?
"Haha. It's completely my fault!"
Renee then stated solemnly, "This time, I'm not lying."
"Fine. I'll put my faith in you one more time." Leia exclaimed proudly.
"However, I must remind you that if you do bring the children here, you must keep them well hidden."
Leia became concerned. "Your ex-husband is not a nice person. He failed to have a kid with Briar for a few years. I believe he would want to steal your children, particularly Aiden, who appears exactly like him."
