Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals

Chapter 1942

For the next few days, Renee tried dating Justin. They kept things casual, but both of them intended to develop their relationship as lovers.

Renee received a text from Justin the moment she woke up: [How would you like to enjoy yourself today?] She rubbed her eyes, a sense of warmth and peace blooming in her heart. After a brief thought, she texted him back. [ We've watched movies and operas, and even tried a candlelight dinner... but they all seem kind of boring!]

[What do you mean?] Justin read Renee's reply, feeling alarmed. [Are you trying to ask for a refund before the probation is over?]

[Haha! No, I just think we should try something special today.]

[Like what?]

[Like an... escape room?]

[Sounds interesting. Let's go!] Excited, Justin immediately changed into casual clothes and styled his hair with gel. He looked like a handsome college student. [Wait for me. I'll pick you up.]

[Okay!] After texting him, Renee went to wash up and get ready.

*Ren, let's go shopping later!" Leia said with a yawn as she walked into Renee's room from a guest room. She was free since it was the weekend, so she wanted to spend some time with her bestie.

"I'm afraid I can't today." Renee wiped her face in front of a mirror and pinched Leia's chin dotingly. "I'm going on a date. I'll spend time with you tomorrow, okay?"

"You're going on a date again?" Leia's eyes lit up, and she asked Renee eagerly, "Are you madly in love with Justin now? You two go on dates quite often!" She had been staying at Everheart Manor lately, and Renee went out with Justin every one or two days. It was normal for lovey-dovey couples, unlike her and Xavier. It would be hard for them to meet even once a week.

Renee smiled. "I don't know about that, but I'm trying."

"You're trying?" Leia frowned, looking puzzled. "If you both are truly in love, you don't have to try... Are you forcing yourself?" She recalled the time when she started dating Xavier. They clung to each other all the time, and the time they spent together was never enough.

'It isn't that easy for two people to fall in love with each other. It takes time to get to know someone, and maybe some wonderful chemical reaction will help that along," Renee said serenely.

"You're right, but... isn't love at first sight? If you're not attracted to a person, you'll just spend a long time getting used to them. It isn't love..." Leia sighed deeply. "Ren, you're compromising. You're just trying to make do with it."

"No, I'm not." Renee looked at her reflection in the mirror and said, "People like the excitement of love at first sight, and think true love has to be intense and forever."
