“Great! Quinton, you’re the best.” Renee heaved a sigh of relief and gave Quinton a bear
hug.
Leia chimed in curiously, “Ren, where are you going with Liam? It sounds so mysterious. I
want to go too!”
Liam stuffed a drumstick into Leia’s mouth and said irritatedly, “You’re just a kid. Stop
meddling in the adults’ business. Eat more and grow up.”
Leia’s eyes bulged in anger, and she removed the drumstick from her mouth angrily. She
glared at Liam and snapped, “Liam, I’m only a few minutes younger than you. Stop acting
like a kid!”
Liam could not help laughing and said cheekily, “The only child I see here is you!”
The others burst into laughter as Leia hurled the chicken drumstick at Liam, missing him
entirely.
Leia became angrier. “Help me settle this, since we’re three pairs of twins with mixed
genders. Why are Ren and Abby’s elder brothers so warm but my brother so mean? He
always bullies me!”
Liam explained, “That just means you should reflect on yourself.”
The others laughed again, and Leia narrowed her eyes at her smug brother.
“Oh, I got it!” Leia’s eyes widened as something dawned on her, and she turned to Liam
suspiciously. “Did you get back together with Ren? Are you guys secretly going on a
honeymoon?”
Liam became a little awkward. “Umm, this...”
“Yeah, we’re going on a honeymoon. Give us your blessing,” Renee said jokingly.
“Great! You have my full approval.” Quinton clapped and gave them his full support.
After the lively dinner, both Renee and Liam went to the airport in casual clothes. The
destination was a rather strange place, so there were not many people headed there. When
they boarded the plane, they were the only ones in business class.
Renee felt rather relaxed, and either read a magazine or drank coffee during the flight.
However, Liam was behaving oddly. He was usually quite talkative, but after boarding the
plane, he was strangely quiet.
“Liam, are you alright? I feel like something’s weighing on your mind.” Renee waved her
hand in front of him and asked curiously.
“I’m wondering if I’m making the right decision. By agreeing to do this, I might be harming
you instead of helping you...” Liam admitted with a sigh.
“What are you talking about? Aren’t you exaggerating?” Renee said amusedly.
“Boss, you don’t know what I’ve experienced, so you don’t know what’s to come.”
“It’s not that scary. Take it easy.” Renee patted his shoulders and raised her brows slightly,
saying, “You know where I came from. We’ve seen a lot of the world, and I’m sure I can
handle it.”
“But you told me that you promised the old man never to be a part of this circle. If you get in
touch with these people again, your identity may be exposed. I’m afraid it’ll bring a lot of
trouble...” Liam said remorsefully.
‘Finally, her life is peaceful. She’d long left this chaotic circle, but somehow, she’s back in
this mess again.’
Renee smiled helplessly. “Maybe it’s meant to be. I have to do this, for Quinton’s sake.
