Adie felt bored and beamed as he saw Liam, whom he had not seen in a long time.

�Daddy Liam, I�m glad to see you again. Thank you for taking care of Mommy lately. Sorry for the trouble. I�ll take care of her from now on.�

�Oh, haha. Little one, just look at you! You�ve grown a lot, and you�re acting like a bigger man than me!�

Liam came forward and picked up Adie with love and pride in his eyes.

Liam had always played a godfather role as he watched Adie and Abby grow up together. He felt a great sense of achievement seeing the child he had raised behaving so well and responsibly.

Adie�s face resembled Stefan�s a lot, but Liam did not mind at all. He loved Adie with all his heart!

�Stop praising him. I just punished him by hitting his palm. He�s still defiant and makes me so angry.�

Renee could not help but shake her head. Then, she turned to Liam helplessly.

�Adie has always listened to you. Quickly talk to him. Tell him not to run around on his own and trust a dangerous woman blindly. Also, don�t just go along stealing other people�s stuff.�

�You have to make him understand that even if he�s powerful, he�s just a child. His safety is my top priority.�

Renee had told Adie this many times, but Adie would not listen. Adie thought girls should be protected and disagreed with her.

Young children often need someone like a father to teach them rules and reasons. Whenever this happened, Renee had no choice but to turn to Liam.

�Oh, Adie. Your mom is right. You.�

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. JrNovels.com
