“Hmm.. Where should I begin? Actually, I’m not sure how things turned out like this either…”


    Renee grabbed Leia’s hand and let out a long sigh. She told Leia honestly, “I made up my mind not to


    get involved with him ever again, but things change. He came at me really aggressively. I couldn’t stop


    him, so I pretended to ept him and waited for him to get bored. But after a while, I realized that


    he’s… actually not that bad.”


    “Not that bad?!”


    Leia poked Renee’s forehead and scolded her, “Have you already forgotten about the pain he made


    you go through just because the wounds have healed? Have you forgotten about all the dirty things he


    did four years ago? Have you forgotten about all the hardship you went through in thest four years,


    having to bring up your children by yourself?”


    “That guy is cold and unpredictable. He might treat you well now, but what if he suddenly has a change


    of heart? He’ll hurt you again and snatch Adie and Abby away from you. Have you thought about that?”


    “I have…”


    Renee’s beautiful face became slightly gloomy, but she soon lifted her head with confidence. “The


    highest level of love is to not be afraid of losing. I ept his passion when he loves me, and I’ve also


    prepared myself to face his coldness when he doesn’t love me anymore. He’s just the icing on the cake


    for me now. What’s truly important is the cake – the icing is just an embellishment! I can live without it!”


    Leia rolled her eyes helplessly and said, “Wow, such wisdom! I’ve learned so much!”


    Leia knew that she could never win an argument against Renee. Renee’s IQ and EQ were both


    exceptionally high. She could crush Leia with words if she wanted to.


    “But what about my brother’s feelings for you? If he found out that the goddess he has been protecting


    for the past four years has returned to the demon, I think he would go crazy!”


    Leia paused. She really did not want to drag Liam into this if she could help it because she felt like she


    was guilt-tripping Renee, but if Renee and Stefan were to reunite, Liam was a problem that they could


    not avoid.


    At least for Renee, it was…


    Sure enough, Renee’s mood instantly plummeted like she was riding a roller coaster.


    Even if Leia had not mentioned Liam, he had been a constant thorn in Renee’s heart. Whenever Renee


    thought of him, it would hurt really bad.


    Guilt wrapped around her like a quagmire, making it hard for her to breathe…


    “Leia, I feel so guilty about your brother…”


    Renee’s eyes went red. She choked up. “I’ve always lived an honest life. I’ve never felt like I treated


    anyone unfairly… except for your brother. I know that even if I try to make it up to him until my next life,


    I still can’t fully repay him. I really don’t know what to do. Tell me what I should do, Leia.”

    At this point, she was already sobbing uncontrobly. She crouched down feebly, covering her face in


    shame. Tears streaked down from the gap between her fingers.


    “Oh, don’t cry, Renee!”


    There were not many things that could unsettle Leia, but both her and her brother Liam hated seeing


    their queen, Renee, cry.


    She crouched down to hug Renee. She pretended it was fine and consoled Renee, “Hey, it’s okay. My


    brother is a tough guy. When he finds out that you and that scumbag Stefan have reconciled, he’d be


    sad for one day at most. The next day, he’d be as good as new. But… you must be happy. If you’re


    truly happy, it’d be the bestpensation he could ask for.”


    She was not just saying that to make Renee feel less guilty. It was Liam’s intention.


    Before she came, her brother had asked her to take good care of Renee. He said, no matter what


    choice Renee made, as long as she was happy, Leia must support Renee unconditionally.
