Chapter 2228noveldrama

"What? You're going to meet his parents?" Leia cried in agitation when she heard that.

She glared at Justin, then dragged Renee to the side to interrogate the latter.

"What's wrong with you, Ren? Why are you marrying someone else just after one night?" Leia pausing, finding her words odd, then corrected herself. "Oh, no! Are you going to remarry?"

"Justin is a good man. His grandpa was my grandpa's old comrade. Plus, his family is nice to me. And we survived this time because of the army Grandpa Baldwin gave me. I can't be ungrateful," Renee said, her tone calm and cold.

Although it was ridiculous, Austin did give Renee that army as a wedding gift. She used that gift at a critical time, which meant she had accepted the Baldwin family. Naturally, she had to take her relationship with Justin to another level.

"But..."

Leia frowned, feeling that Renee was being impulsive.

"But you were forced to use that army under that circumstance. It wasn't because you loved Justin that drove you to accept that army. This feels like you gave yourself to him because he helped you, but this logic doesn't work in the world now. You don't even love him! Are you sure you want to marry him? You guys are just fooling around and acting impulsively!"

Although Leia had never been married, she knew one could never take marriage lightly even if it was for the sake of gratitude.

Following Renee's logic, if a strange old man saved them, she would have to marry him.

"I got it! Did Justin force your hand or try to manipulate you?" Leia glared hostilely at Justin and said angrily, "I've always felt that he's a bastard! He pretended to be a gentleman but was full of tricks. He must have tricked you, didn't he?"

"No, he didn't do that." Renee shook her head, filled with self-mockery. "He even asked me not to make this decision out of gratitude. He even..."

At that point, she suddenly stopped and couldn't speak anymore.

It made Leia curious. She hurriedly questioned, "What do you mean? Did anything happen that I'm unaware of? Is that why you made such a decision impulsively?"

"No." Renee looked calm. "Nothing happened... Or, I can say that it's the reason why I made this decision."

"What do you mean?"

Leia scratched her head in confusion. She couldn't figure it out, but she could tell that Renee was not joking.

Her curiosity got the better of her as she asked carefully, "So, you're going to meet Justin's parents? Have you really...given up on Stefan?"

Based on Leia's understanding of Renee, the latter was serious when it came to love. If she hadn't given up on Stefan, she wouldn't have easily accepted another man or met that man's parents, let alone married him.
