Chapter 502

Liam was about to give Adie a huge lecture, but the little one interrupted him.

“Daddy Liam, I have a question. Is it wrong wanting to protect Mommy?”

“Of course not. We’re men. It’s our duty to protect her.”

“Do you think I’m just a kid stupid enough to be tricked by the bad guys?”

“No, of course not. Adie is such a smart boy. You’re the one who’ll be fooling the bad guys.”

“That’s right… I want to protect Mommy and help her. I can keep myself safe. So what did I do wrong?”

“Uh…” Liam rubbed his chin and instantly agreed with Adie. Adie had a good point.

Liam backtracked immediately and advised Renee instead, “I think Adie has a point. His punishment was unfair. Well, don’t be angry. I think…

Maybe you should apologize to Adie.”

“Liam!” Renee stomped her feet in anger. “He’s just a foolish kid. How can you go along with him? Are you trying to piss me off?!”

“I’m just being honest. Adie isn’t an ordinary child. You should respect him and give him the freedom to play. Don’t limit him.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Daddy Liam is right. Mommy, you should respect and trust me. Let me be responsible for taking care of you as soon as possible. I want to protect you.”

Liam and Adie took turns convincing Renee.

“Enough. Do you know the woman you met earlier? She has long planned to hurt you. You even followed her around like a silly lapdog. She fooled you with just some toys and snacks. Isn’t that embarrassing?”

Renee felt scared thinking about it again. Briar certainly had the intention to kill Adie. It would have been unthinkable consequences if not for Adie’s lucky escape!

“No way!”

Adie pouted in disdain. “I knew she was no good. I’ve been playing dumb with her so she could send me to Mr. Q…”

“Who is Mr. Q?” Renee listened in confusion.

“Mr. Q is very powerful. I specially chose him to help you deal with Bad Daddy. He made me a promise and is willing to become your follower and follow you to greatness.”

Adie explained with an adult-like and proud expression.

Liam frowned incredulously. He lowered his voice to confirm, “Mr. Q? Are you talking about the owner of Carmine Pawnshop?”

“Yup. He has a lot of treasure at home. When the time comes, I’ll make him pick two for you.” Adie lifted his chin and said delightedly.

“How is that possible? The owner of Carmine Pawnshop is notoriously mysterious and difficult. People nicknamed him the Midnight Demon. Why would he listen to you and become Renee’s follower?”

Liam was astounded and thought Adie was lying.

Adie said nonchalantly, “Why not? He must be impressed by Mommy. Daddy Liam, you’re the same.

You’re good too, but you’re working for Mommy too, isn’t it?”

“Uhm…”

Adie’s statement made Renee and Liam look at each other in speechlessness
