“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”


    Renee waved her hand goodbye and walked away. But she soon paused and turned around to ask


    Liam, “By the way, do you know where Carmine Pawnshop’s exact location is?”


    “Why do you want to know?” Liam was immediately rmed by her question. “What are you nning


    to do?”


    “Just answer the question!” Renee replied sternly, looking displeased.


    “It’s near the Water Dock, but it’s a really dangerous ce, Boss. It’s awless no man’snd where


    even the Devil himself could get conned out of the clothes on his back!”


    Liam had been to that ce with his father once or twice before, and it left a distinct impression in his


    mind. Suffice it to say, the experience had fueled his nightmares ever since!


    “Besides, Carmine Pawnshop is nothing like the ordinary pawn shop that you might expect. You must


    know that the pawn shop’s owner, Mr. Q, is known as the Night Demon. Don’t even think about making


    a deal with him -it’s no different than selling your soul to the devil! You’ll cross a line where there’s


    simply no return!”


    After listening to this, not only was Renee not afraid, but it even piqued her interest.


    A demon, huh?! She began to anticipate meeting this mysterious man now!


    Still, she did not want to worry Liam, so she lied to him, saying, “Don’t overthink it. I was only asking


    because I kept hearing Adie talking about the ce… You don’t actually think that your boss is that


    stupid, do you? Even if I wanted to make a deal with them, what on earth do I have to trade?”


    When she got back to her apartment, Adie had already had his dinner and was now in the study. He sat


    on the couch, reading a book, with his feet dangling in the air, looking heart-achingly adorable.


    “What a good boy you are, Adie! You already know how to take such good care of yourself!”


    Renee sat down next to her son and gently patted his little head.


    “Of course, Mommy! I know how hard you’re working, so I don’t want to be a burden to you.”


    Adie was reading an advanced physics textbook. His knowledge had already reached the level of a


    university student now, making him a bona fide child prodigy. Yet this fact only made Renee worry


    about him. Because he was so far ahead of his peers, Adie was quite a lonely childpared to kids


    his age.


    But days like these would soon be over.


    Renee then enthusiastically told her son, “Adie, guess what? The headmaster of Monte Perry


    Kindergarten told me today that they’ve abolished that horrible rule and agreed to wee you and


    Abby to the kindergarten! I’ll bring Abby and Aunt Margaret over in a few days and we’ll all be together


    again, okay?”


    She expected Adie to be leaping with joy after hearing the news, but the boy reacted very calmly and


    merely said, “I didn’t think it would be settled this quickly. Looks like that guy’s the real deal.”


    “What guy?” asked Renee, confused. She did find it suspicious how the kindergarten would take a 180-


    degree turn on their rules so suddenly. Did Adie know the actual reason for this?


    “Um, Superman! I asked Superman to help mest night. I didn’t think he’d fulfill my wish so quickly!


    Superman is so awesome!”


    Adie’s face was full of satisfaction. Right now, he regarded Mr. Q as one of the best candidates to be


    his mother’s future husband, but he did not want to reveal too much before Mr. Q really passed the


    test, for fear that his mother might fall too crazily in love with him too soon. Hence, he would only refer


    to him as “Superman” for now.


    “Is that so?” Renee gently replied, not suspecting that Adie was hiding anything. “If that’s true, then


    Superman must be an awesome guy! Oh, how I wish I had someone like Superman to fulfill all my


    wishes too!”


    “That’s easy!” Adie wrapped his arms around his mother’s neck and warmly told her, “All you have to


    do is find a husband you can do anything for you… But don’t worry, Mommy! I believe that you’ll find


    your Superman soon!”


    It was already gettingte. Renee put Adie to bed and quietly tiptoed out of the kids’ room. She went


    into her own room, changed intofortable sportswear, tied her hair up into a high ponytail, and


    confidently walked out of the door..? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
