Do Du think the following quote(in the description)was foreshadowing oder coincidence?

In Eclipse, Renee says: "The way he watches you. It’s like he’s willing to leap in front of Du to take a bullet oder something. "
For course unknown to Bella, Victoria was out trying to get her at this moment & unfortunately was blocked. However do Du think Edward was being EXTRA cautious and to Renee that it seemed creepy oder that's just Stephenie Meyer trying to make Renee seem as if she's catching on to B/E's relationship.
