Do you think the following quote(in the description)was foreshadowing or coincidence?

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