Chapter 514

Renee felt warmth bloom in her chest when she saw her son waiting for her. She bent over
to hug Adie, but he took a step back and put his hands on his hips sternly.
“Mommy, you didn’t come home last night. You misbehaved. Tell me the truth! Where did
you go?”
‘Umm, about that…” Renee felt a little awkward and didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t
tell Adie that she got drunk at a bar and spent money on a man, could she? Adie would
definitely lose all respect for her!
“I finished work late, so I decided to spend the night in the office. Sorry for making you
worry, Adie.” Renee picked up Adie and muttered an excuse, feeling a little guilty. After all,
Adie wasn’t exactly gullible.
As expected, Adie took a deep breath before taking a few sniffs. His eyes narrowed
suspiciously. “Mommy, you’re lying. You reek of alcohol! You went drinking last night, didn’t
you?”
When Leia heard this, she immediately came clean about what happened.” That’s right! I
asked your mother out for a drink last night because she’s been a bit down lately. Work has
been exhausting, and she needed to relax a little.”
“That’s ridiculous!” Adie scowled angrily. “It’s dangerous out there, and Mommy is so pretty.
Not only were you drinking, you even stayed out the whole night. What if you bumped into
bad guys?”
Adie knew he was only a child, and adults wouldn’t listen to him, so he decided to get help.
“Looks like I’ll have to call Daddy Liam and ask him to keep an eye on his wife!”
Renee was a little sad when she heard this. She squatted down and ruffled his hair. “Baby, I
haven’t told you yet, but Daddy Liam and I are no longer together. However, it doesn’t affect
you in any way – Daddy Liam will still love and protect you as he always has.”
“Did you two break up?” Adie blinked. “Will Daddy Liam still love and protect you too?”
“Well…’ Renee didn’t know what to say. After all, relationships between men and women
were complicated. Even if she tried to explain it, Adie might not understand.
However, Adie was very smart. “Mommy, I know Daddy Liam will fall in love with another
woman and protect her instead. He will no longer love and protect you. Isn’t that right?”
Renee smiled at her son warmly. “That’s right. You’ll have to love me and protect me
instead.”
Liam had done so much for her over the years. Now that their relationship had officially
ended, she genuinely hoped that he could meet someone who deserved his love and
protection.
Leia was worried Adie might feel disappointed, and she quickly tried to comfort him. “That
won’t happen. They might not be together anymore, but they still have feelings for each
other. Don’t worry, Adie. My brother will always put you and Renee first. He’ll do his best to
protect you both!”
“It’s different now because they’ve already broken up. I’m not as gullible as other kids, so
don’t try to trick me.” Adie frowned contemplatively. “If that’s the case, I’ll have to do
something for the sake of Mommy’s happiness.”
Renee and Leia exchanged concerned glances. “What are you talking about?
