“Of course!” Leia agreed without any hesitation. She was just like her brother, and trusted Reneecompletely. “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 mybestie 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.” Williamsmiled, 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 turnedcold. “Close the door, please.”
William was rather cooperative, approaching Renee with a warm smile. “I’m sure you’ve already lookedinto 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, andmeticulous person. Now that your best friend is marrying all of a sudden, it’s reasonable for you to lookinto me.”
“Good, not only are you intelligent, but you’re quite understanding too. It’s true that I can’t nitpickmuch.” Renee had never expected William to be so humble. He wasn’t mad that she looked into hisbackground, which made her feel slightly ashamed of her own actions.
“Come clean yourself then, what’s your purpose of getting close to Leia?” Renee askedstraightforwardly, not intending to waste her time and energy. William smiled softly. “That’s an oddquestion, isn’t it, Miss Everheart? I love Leia, so I approached her because I want to be with her. I’d liketo become her husband and stay together for eternity.”
“Save it!” Renee’s expression was filled with disdain. “You may be able to fool a sweet girl like Leia, butyou can’t fool me. I know how twisted and obsessive your past relationship was. Besides, you’re asmart man, so you couldn’t possibly have not known that your ex is considered a person of interest tous.”
“You mean Briar Desrosiers?” William’s gaze shifted slightly, as his smile grew colder. “You have greatconnections, Miss Everheart. I didn’t expect you to find out about my terrible past…”
“That’s right, Briar was indeed my first love. I was so in love with her that I went mad, and did a lot ofirrational things just to win her heart. But that’s all in the past now, and I’ve tried my best to wipe theslate clean.”
“I don’t know how you found out about that, but it doesn’t matter. I just hope you won’t bring this upanymore, when I’ve already regained my rationality and want to start a new life. Please allow me to doso, at the very least!”
Renee chuckled, her expression still frosty. “Don’t act like a victim, I refuse to believe that you can fallfor someone new after loving her so obsessively! You must have a hidden motive!”
She had been through enough to see through these scumbag men, and knew that she shouldn’t trustthem easily. Moreover, William and Leia were advancing way too quickly. With his history with Briar,she couldn’t help but feel wary of him.
William didn’t get mad at all, retorting, “Well, Miss Everheart, didn’t you obsess over a man who didn’tlove you back too? You ended up quite hurt yourself. So, does that mean you’d stop loving after that?”
Renee looked taken aback. “I’m different from you. You loved Briar Desrosiers, so you should knowwhat type of person she is. You-“
“And how is Stefan Hunt any better than Desrosiers? We share the same fate, so you’re just a potcalling the kettle black. If you can fall in love with someone new, why can’t I?”
William tilted his head as he stared at Renee. “Or could it be that… you’ve never moved on from StefanHunt, and you can’t possibly fall for someone else?”novelbin
‘That’s not it!” Renee denied as she gritted her teeth.
“So there you have it… You had the same experience as I did, and you still fell in love with someoneelse. So why can’t I? You’re just being critical because I fell for your best friend!”
“M-Maybe!” Renee replied, somewhat convinced
