At that moment, despair almost engulfed her son. She felt like a puppet whose every speech and


    behavior was being controlled by that f*cking person from afar. As a result, she was full of indignation


    and helplessness.


    It seemed like she could not escape from that battle. She could only hope that she would not suffer an


    utter defeat.


    Renee simply packed up her things and boarded the earliest flight back to Beach City.


    After being away for half a year, everything was still the same, but the people had changed.


    When both Chase and Margaret heard that she wanted toe home, they were soon relieved before


    they heaved a sigh, one after another.


    Renee was worried about her brother, so she returned to Carmine Pawnshop first.


    The two children missed her too much. They had been waiting at the door early and looking for her.


    “Mommy! Mommy!”


    Abby saw the car Renee’s car from afar. She jumped happily.


    On the other hand, Adie was also standing at the side eagerly. But his emotions were much more


    complicated.


    “Adie, Abby, you’ve grown taller. I miss you so much.”


    When Renee got out of the car, tears inevitably welled up in her eyes. After that, she pulled them both


    into her arms.


    “Miss Ren, you’ve suffered a lot.”


    Simrly, Margaret’s eyes turned red with tears. She took the luggage from Renee.


    Half a year was neither long nor short. Besides, Renee had to stay abroad to take care of a person who


    could not live on his own. It was obvious how hard and exhaustive it would be.


    “No, I didn’t suffer much. You guys were the ones who suffered a lot. I put the two kids in your care. I


    haven’t been a good mother.”


    Renee greedily kissed the two children, a testament to how much she missed them.


    She spent half a year in that town. The most torturing thing was not that she had to stay abroad to take


    care of Jovan but she could not see her children… She missed them too much.


    “Mommy, stop crying. Adie and I have grown up much. We can take care of ourselves now. Look at


    how much weight we’ve put on.”


    Abby did not want to see Renee me herself, so she immediately patted her tummy to tell Renee that


    both she and Adie were fine.


    Her face had indeed be chubbier. She was as chubby as a panda, and she was adorable.


    Inparison, Adie was much more mature and handsome.


    He behaved like an adult-like child. With his lips shut, he kept silent. It seemed that he was full of


    dissatisfaction.


    “What’s the matter, Adie? Are you still mad at me?”


    Renee pinched Adie’s face and asked, smiling.


    “Don’t touch me!”


    Adie turned away and pouted exaggeratedly. He was just like an adult-like child.


    “Adie, didn’t I tell you not to be mad at Mommy? She suffered a lot. We should be her considerate and


    sensible children. Hurry up and say sorry to Mommy!”

    Abby put both hands on her waist and pouted her pink and tender lips. She made a request at Adie


    solemnly.


    “I don’t want to say sorry. She didn’t want us. Why does she have to be a hypocrite ande back?”


    When Adie reached that point, he struggled out of Renee’s arms and ran away instantly.


    “Adie…”


    His repulsiveness brought a pang of grief to Renee.


    However, it was true indeed. During that period, she abandoned her children and went to a faraway


    land to take care of another man. Of course, no child could forgive that.


    Adie was smarter and more sensitive than ordinary children. He should have noticed something, so he


    found Renee quite repulsive.


    “Miss Ren, I’m sorry. We tried our best to hide it from him, but you do know how smart he is. He’s


    technology savvy. We can’t hide anything from him, so…”


    Completely helpless, Margaret sighed.


    “It’s fine. Please leave us alone. I’ll talk it out with him properly.”


    After that, Renee walked toward where Adie had run away alone.
