Chapter 779

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 caterpillars. They love it!” Abby exclaimed with excitement. “Mommy caught these caterpillars with us…” She declared 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 caterpillars. A single glance was enough to give him nightmares!

“That’s right. Daddy, do you like caterpillars? 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!” Stefan laughed 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 caterpillars?”

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 into laughter when she saw Stefan being forced into a corner by Adie.

“Stefan, Adie’s right. If you have what it takes, come and feed these fledglings. If you can’t do it, you’ll have to admit that you’re a coward!” Renee exclaimed in an attempt to further provoke him.

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