You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 554 It's All Fate

Leigh looked at Edmund before her gaze darted at Amy. "I suddenly realized that you two are a perfect match. You are made for each other! Here's what I suggest: Ed, you need a shield to deal with Sophie. Amy, you also need a shield to deal with Noah. So, why don't you two continue to work together and pretend to be a couple?"

She clapped her hands and laughed. "Of course, it would be even better if you could make it real!"

Edmund remained quiet.

Amy didn't say anything, either.

But soon, she tugged at Leigh's clothes. "Leigh, stop talking nonsense."

"What nonsense did I say?" Leigh replied. "You don't have a boyfriend now, do you?"

Amy hesitantly answered, "That's correct."

Leigh then looked at Edmund. "Ed, you don't have a girlfriend now as well, right?"

Edmund sighed. "It's true that I don't have a girlfriend right now, but..."

He paused halfway through his sentence.

He didn't know what to say next.

"No 'buts,'" Leigh said. "Ed, you don't have a girlfriend, and Amy doesn't have a boyfriend. You two,

who are single and available, can help each other out. Why not pretend to be a couple?"

"That's not the point," Ed rejected helplessly. "I've only known Miss Atkinson for a few days—"

"It doesn't matter," Leigh interrupted. "Ed, let me teach you something: Love can be as fresh as ever, and feelings can remain strong. Some people can't connect with each other even after knowing each other for a lifetime, while others can be captivated by each other's charm in just a few days."

She looked at the two of them again. "I think you and Amy are a perfect match. Besides, isn't this how blind dates work? Look at all those couples who go on blind dates. How many of them knew each other before the blind date? They were all strangers before the blind date, right?"

Edmund threw Leigh a knowing glance. "Leigh, please stop."

He didn't think he was worthy of Amy.

He was in an awkward position.

Although Sophie left today, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't come back to pester him in the future.

With his identity, even if Sophie pointed at his nose and cursed at him, or if she physically attacked him, he could only endure it. It would be unfair for Amy to be his girlfriend.

Amy was perfect in every way; there was no need for her to suffer such grievances.

Leigh had known him for a while and could tell what he was thinking with just a glance.

She leaned close to Amy's ear and mentioned, "Ed thinks he's not worthy of you and is afraid of burdening you."

"How could that be?" Amy quickly reassured them, "These past few days, I've been staying at the office and have gotten to know the people here. I can tell that every member of the office, including Mr. Foreman, is outstanding and has a good character."

Leigh looked at Edmund. "See, Ed? Amy thinks you're great."

Edmund sighed.

She is just being polite. From NôvelDrama.Org.

She can't possibly say that I'm bad right to my face.

"Alright, alright, I'm not saying you two have to be together. I'm just suggesting that you pretend to be a couple," Leigh explained while putting her hand on Amy's shoulder. "Amy, are you willing to help Ed with this? If Sophie comes to bother him again, you can show your authority as his girlfriend and tell her to back off. And in return, if Noah comes to bother you, Ed will help you deal with him. Is that okay with you?"

Amy thought for a moment and looked at Edmund. "If Mr. Foreman doesn't mind, I have no problem with it."

Noah had indeed been bothering her—from calling her to even showing up at her door.

She had repeatedly told Noah that they were over, but he seemed to not understand and continued to pursue her.

Noah said he loved her and wouldn't give up.

In the past, she might have been moved.

But now, she couldn't figure out whether Noah's persistence was because of his feelings for her or because of her identity as Ewan's sister.

The feelings between her and Noah were no longer pure. No matter how deep his affection seemed, she couldn't go back.

When the affection given was no longer what the other person wanted, that affection would become a burden.

She had been feeling troubled these past few days.

She hoped to get rid of Noah's pursuit and return to a peaceful, simple life.

With Noah's pride and self-esteem, he would probably give up if she had a boyfriend.

So, for her, there were only benefits in having Edmund as her temporary boyfriend.

Moreover, Edmund was a handsome and elegant man with a noble temperament. He would definitely overshadow Noah.

In the future, Noah probably wouldn't bother her anymore.

"See, even the lady has no problem with it. Ed, you are fine with it as well, right?" Leigh looked at Edmund.

Edmund sighed. "Naturally, I have no problem with it, but it's really unfair to Miss Atkinson."

"Whether it's fair or not, it's not up to you to decide. Amy is willing, so can you agree?" Leigh asked. "Stop being so talkative. I'm only asking you if you will agree to it since Amy already has."

"You..." Edmund shook his head helplessly at her and looked at Amy with a sincere gaze. "Miss Atkinson, you probably already know about my identity. Based on what I know about Sophie, she will definitely come back even though she left today... Although I have decided not to go back with her, I do owe her. No matter if she comes back to scold me or hit me, I have to endure it. I don't want to burden you and make you suffer with me."

"Then, let me shield you from her." Amy furrowed her brows and asked, "You owe her, but does your girlfriend owe her? If she hits or scolds you, you have to endure it. However, does your girlfriend have to endure it?"

"Of course not!" Leigh gave Amy an approving look. "Amy, well said! If Sophie comes to bother Ed in the future, you will protect him! It's only natural for a girlfriend to care for her boyfriend. Who can say anything about it?"

"Alright, it's settled then!" Amy suddenly felt a surge of confidence and nodded firmly. "Miss Taylor has already agreed to let me join Oasis Law Office. Once I sign the contract, I will also be a member of

Oasis Law Office. I have a responsibility to protect my colleagues!"

"We are not just colleagues but also partners and comrades fighting side by side!" Leigh put her arm around Amy's shoulders and smiled. "The bond between us is much stronger than ordinary colleagues. We are even closer than siblings. Pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend is a piece of cake!"

Edmund could only think, What is all this?

Leigh was great in every way, but her thoughts were too whimsical. She always said whatever came to mind without any filter.

Still... This kind of attitude toward life was quite enviable.

Carefree, worry-free, and free-spirited.

He probably won't have the chance to have these things in his lifetime.

There was no way around it. It was his fault for owing the Foremans.

He would have no complaints even if Sophie beat him to death.

"Hey!" Leigh called out to him. "Make a decision, Ed. Be a man; don't be wishy-washy. From today onward, Amy will be your girlfriend. Just nod if you agree!"
