Renee felt warmth bloom in her chest when she saw her son waiting for her. She bent over to hug Adie,


    but he took a step back and put his hands on his hips sternly.


    “Mommy, you didn’te homest night. You misbehaved. Tell me the truth! Where did you go?”


    ‘Umm, about that…” Renee felt a little awkward and didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t tell Adie that


    she got drunk at a bar and spent money on a man, could she? Adie would definitely lose all respect for


    her!


    “I finished workte, so I decided to spend the night in the office. Sorry for making you worry, Adie.”


    Renee picked up Adie and muttered an excuse, feeling a little guilty. After all, Adie wasn’t exactly


    gullible.


    As expected, Adie took a deep breath before taking a few sniffs. His eyes narrowed suspiciously.


    “Mommy, you’re lying. You reek of alcohol! You went drinkingst night, didn’t you?”


    When Leia heard this, she immediately came clean about what happened.” That’s right! I asked your


    mother out for a drinkst night because she’s been a bit downtely. Work has been exhausting, and


    she needed to rx a little.”


    “That’s ridiculous!” Adie scowled angrily. “It’s dangerous out there, and Mommy is so pretty. Not only


    were you drinking, you even stayed out the whole night. What if you bumped into bad guys?”


    Adie knew he was only a child, and adults wouldn’t listen to him, so he decided to get help. “Looks like


    I’ll have to call Daddy Liam and ask him to keep an eye on his wife!”


    Renee was a little sad when she heard this. She squatted down and ruffled his hair. “Baby, I haven’t


    told you yet, but Daddy Liam and I are no longer together. However, it doesn’t affect you in any way –


    Daddy Liam will still love and protect you as he always has.”


    “Did you two break up?” Adie blinked. “Will Daddy Liam still love and protect you too?”


    “Well…’ Renee didn’t know what to say. After all, rtionships between men and women were


    complicated. Even if she tried to exin it, Adie might not understand.

    However, Adie was very smart. “Mommy, I know Daddy Liam will fall in love with another woman and


    protect her instead. He will no longer love and protect you. Isn’t that right?”


    Renee smiled at her son warmly. “That’s right. You’ll have to love me and protect me instead.”


    Liam had done so much for her over the years. Now that their rtionship had officially ended, she


    genuinely hoped that he could meet someone who deserved his love and protection.


    Leia was worried Adie might feel disappointed, and she quickly tried tofort him. “That won’t


    happen. They might not be together anymore, but they still have feelings for each other. Don’t worry,


    Adie. My brother will always put you and Renee first. He’ll do his best to protect you both!”


    “It’s different now because they’ve already broken up. I’m not as gullible as other kids, so don’t try to


    trick me.” Adie frowned contemtively. “If that’s the case, I’ll have to do something for the sake of


    Mommy’s happiness.”


    Renee and Leia exchanged concerned nces. “What are you talking about?
