Chapter 379
The furious Liam nagged Leia nonstop and complained on the phone." How dare you! Who gave you the guts to do this? Tell me where you are right now if you don't want me to rain hell on you!"
'I can't tell you, Liam. I promised Ren to keep her return a secret. Only God knows. No one else must know.'
"Leia! Cut the crap! Do you think I won't do anything to do you?"
Liam gritted his teeth. "She's in the hot news all morning. Everyone has been talking about it. Anybody online would know that Renee's back in Beach City!'
Leia knew it was impossible to keep it a secret anymore and opened her hands helplessly. She told Renee, who was beside her, "See, Renee. That's my brother's unusual attitude towards me. His true character is just like a late-stage bipolar person. His gentle, patient, and nice persona in front of you is all a facade..."
"Who are you talking to? Is Boss right next to you?"
Liam instantly tensed up in extreme nervousness. His grumpy voice softened at once. Liam said softly, "Boss? Why didn't you tel 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, 'I 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!"
