The longer Renee looked at these fledglings, the more she found them adorable. It’s as if she was


    looking at her own children. Her motherly instincts were fully activated.


    She looked forward to the moment they took to the air once their feathers were fully developed in a


    month!


    “Renee, what are you feeding them with?” Stefan asked gently while he looked up at her from below.


    “Huh?” Renee turned around when she heard his voice.


    Rays of sunlight that passed through gaps in the tree branches shone against his perfect face, casting


    a shadow behind him. He looked like the male lead from an anime. He was ridiculously good-looking.


    “Daddy, we’re feeding them caterpirs. They love it!” Abby eximed with excitement. “Mommy


    caught these caterpirs with us…” She dered proudly.


    “W-worms?” Stefan gulped. He felt goosebumps all over his scalp.


    Despite being fearless in general, he was terrified of soft, furry creatures, especially caterpirs. A


    single nce was enough to give him nightmares!


    “That’s right. Daddy, do you like caterpirs? Would you like to catch some with us next time?” Abby


    eagerly extended an offer to Stefan with her eyes opened wide.


    “Haha! That’s fine!” Stefanughed awkwardly while he declined Abby’s invitation.


    Adie sneered and gave him the side-eye. “Hmph! You’re a scaredy cat. Why is a grown man afraid of


    caterpirs?”This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Stefan felt offended. He tried to defend his ego. “Who says I’m afraid of those things? I’m just too busy


    for that.”


    As their father, he had to maintain his heroic image in front of them. There was no way he could let


    them find out he was actually afraid of tiny insects. Otherwise, it’d be downright embarrassing!


    “I don’t believe you. You’re a scaredy cat who’s afraid of insects. You can’t protect Mommy or Abby.


    Mommy’s decision to leave you was the smartest one she’s ever made!” Adie crossed his arms while


    he criticized Stefan. He wasn’t holding back.


    Stefan had never felt this humiliated. To make matters worse, the person humiliating him was his own


    son.


    “Listen up, kid. I’m more than capable of protecting the three of you. I used to train in the wild. You


    weren’t even born when I wrestled a tiger with my bare hands!”


    “Wrestling a tiger with your bare hands? Don’t you think that’s too big a bluff?” Adie continued insulting


    him without fearing the consequences. “You wrestled a tiger with your bare hands, but you can’t even


    catch insects. Indirectly, that means you’re inferior to insects. How can you even say you’re able to


    protect the three of us? This is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard!”


    “I already told you. I’m not afraid of insects…” He just found those soft, furry creatures to be very


    disgusting.


    “If you’re not afraid of them, why don’t you pick them up with forceps like Mommy and feed them to the


    fledglings? If you do it, I’ll believe you!”


    Adie made it impossible for Stefan to refuse.


    Stefan secretly thought to himself, ‘Like father, like son! You’re just as evil as I am!’


    “Hahaha!” Renee burst intoughter when she saw Stefan being forced into a corner by Adie.


    “Stefan, Adie’s right. If you have what it takes,e and feed these fledglings. If you can’t do it, you’ll


    have to admit that you’re a coward!” Renee eximed in an attempt to further provoke him.


    Stefan felt deeply embarrassed. “Renee, you’re going to be in trouble!”
