Liam was about to give Adie a huge lecture, but the little one interrupted him.


    “Daddy Liam, I have a question. Is it wrong wanting to protect Mommy?”


    “Of course not. We’re men. It’s our duty to protect her.”


    “Do you think I’m just a kid stupid enough to be tricked by the bad guys?”


    “No, of course not. Adie is such a smart boy. You’re the one who’ll be fooling the bad guys.”


    “That’s right… I want to protect Mommy and help her. I can keep myself safe. So what did I do wrong?”


    “Uh…” Liam rubbed his chin and instantly agreed with Adie. Adie had a good point.


    Liam backtracked immediately and advised Renee instead, “I think Adie has a point. His punishment


    was unfair. Well, don’t be angry. I think…


    Maybe you should apologize to Adie.”


    “Liam!” Renee stomped her feet in anger. “He’s just a foolish kid. How can you go along with him? Are


    you trying to piss me off?!”


    “I’m just being honest. Adie isn’t an ordinary child. You should respect him and give him the freedom to


    y. Don’t limit him.”


    “Yes, yes, yes. Daddy Liam is right. Mommy, you should respect and trust me. Let me be responsible


    for taking care of you as soon as possible. I want to protect you.”


    Liam and Adie took turns convincing Renee.


    “Enough. Do you know the woman you met earlier? She has long nned to hurt you. You even


    followed her around like a sillypdog. She fooled you with just some toys and snacks. Isn’t that


    embarrassing?”


    Renee felt scared thinking about it again. Briar certainly had the intention to kill Adie. It would have


    been unthinkable consequences if not for Adie’s lucky escape!


    “No way!”


    Adie pouted in disdain. “I knew she was no good. I’ve been ying dumb with her so she could send


    me to Mr. Q…”


    “Who is Mr. Q?” Renee listened in confusion.


    “Mr. Q is very powerful. I specially chose him to help you deal with Bad Daddy. He made me a promise


    and is willing to be your follower and follow you to greatness.”


    Adie exined with an adult-like and proud expression.


    Liam frowned incredulously. He lowered his voice to confirm, “Mr. Q? Are you talking about the owner


    of Carmine Pawnshop?”

    “Yup. He has a lot of treasure at home. When the timees, I’ll make him pick two for you.” Adie


    lifted his chin and said delightedly.


    “How is that possible? The owner of Carmine Pawnshop is notoriously mysterious and difficult. People


    nicknamed him the Midnight Demon. Why would he listen to you and be Renee’s follower?”


    Liam was astounded and thought Adie was lying.


    Adie said nonchntly, “Why not? He must be impressed by Mommy. Daddy Liam, you’re the same.


    You’re good too, but you’re working for Mommy too, isn’t it?”


    “Uhm…”


    Adie’s statement made Renee and Liam look at each other in speechlessness
