Chapter 40

Renee and Liam walked side by side in the hallway that led up to the banquet hall.

Liam, who had been a dignified and proud gentleman outside only moments ago, had now transformed completely into a docile little puppy all smiles and adoring glances at Renee.

I can’t believe those people from the Hunt family dared to bully you like that!” He grumbled. “The next time they do it. I definitely won’t let them off so easily!”

Renee smiled slightly and teased him, “Wow, Liam… I’m used to seeing you all meek and frivolous, but when you get serious, you’re actually pretty intimidating! I was shocked to see you earlier.”

“There’s nothing shocking about it,” said Liam proudly. “I am Master Osborne, after all!”

However, despite his words, Liam still looked like a meek little puppy. He looked at Renee’s windbreaker and commented, “But, honestly, Ren, don’t you think you’re dressing a little too shabbily for the event?”

“You have to address me as Miss,” Renee corrected him. “Did you forget that you’re my junior?”

“But why does my sister get to call you Ren?” Liam argued, pouting like a schoolboy. He childishly added, I don’t care. I’m not going to call you Boss or Miss anymore. From now on, I’ll call you Ren!”
