Chapter 499

Renee opened the door and was overjoyed to see who had arrived at her doorsteps. It was none other than Adie!

‘Mommy, it’s been a long time. I miss you so much! Hug me!”

The handsome little Adie opened his arms towards Renee calmly. He was neat and clean. He seemed save and did not fall into the wrong hands earlier.

Adie’s arrival took Renee by surprise, but soon anger filled her. She crossed her arms and began to lecture Adie with a stern face. ‘ Adie. Did you have a lot of fun before coming to me?”

“I was only away from Sun Island for a short moment. How dare you? Do you think we won’t be worried? Are you trying to make me angry?”

“Hey, Mommy. Calm down. I’m back now…”

Little Adie shrugged indifferently. He expertly jumped into Renee’s arms and put on the most innocent and cute look on his face. He looked at Renee with his big, shiny eyes and blinked adorably. “Mommy, you know me well. What’s there to worry about? You’re getting too worked up… But I know that’s because you love me too much. Mommy is the best. You’re the best in the world. I love you the most!”

Adie knew Renee well, after all. He knew Renee was soft-hearted and easy to persuade. Whenever he got into trouble, he would sweet talk and act adorably to have her forgiveness. However, it was not so easy to fool Renee this time.

Renee resisted the urge to pinch little Adie’s chubby little face. She said sternly, “Aiden Everheart, stop giving me that face. I wont fall for it. So tell me honestly. What are you planning to do with all this commotion?”

Acting cute did not work this time. Seeing that, Adie stopped pretending and reverted to his usual cold and arrogant look. He explained, “Well, I was worried about you. I’m afraid you might get hurt in Beach City alone, so I’m here to protect you!’

Renee was lost for words. She held her palm to her forehead and felt an immense headache. Just listen to that. Had a four-year-old child really said that?

There were many times when Renee felt that Adie was the better version of her and Stefan. Adie was only a young child, but he was not easy to deal with. Renee frequently lost to Adie in their long battle of wits!

“You’re just a child. Staying safe is the greatest protection for you. How could you leave Sun Island without a word? You had no adult to accompany you. If you run into thugs, who’ll save you? You’re so small.

Anyone could easily capture you and kidnap you!”

‘No way.” Adie was full of confidence. “I’m smart. Thugs only rely on brute force. Those who try to hurt me are already with the police. Mommy, it’s not the first time. You should know that.”

Renee fell silent. Adie had such a good point and left her speechless.

‘Mommy, don’t be so worried! I came to protect you. You shouldn’t be angry. Instead, you should reward me well!” Adie proposed in a logical and unhurried manner.

“Reward you?”

Renee was pissed off and laughed. Adie was indeed amazing. He could easily trick her with his logical explanation. It was as if staying angry was simply unreasonable.

Renee responded to Adie with a kind smile. She said gently, “You want a reward, right? Be a good boy and wait for me. I’ll get it for you now!”

Adie instantly let out a sigh of relief. He nodded with a bright smile, “Okay, Mommy. I know you’re the best and most understanding Mommy.’

Shortly after, Renee took out a ruler. She raised her eyebrows and snapped at Adie, “Get down on your knees and hold out your hands!
