Leia was miserable throughout the journey. She had finally found someone who could help Renee move on, but now that Renee was sober, she was suppressing her emotions again.

Leia was truly worried about her. She needed to find a way to make this male escort more attractive!

Back in the apartment, Adie was watching cartoons on the couch, but he was clearly distracted. He frequently looked at the door, and he seemed anxious.

Beep, beep!

As soon as Adie heard the door being unlocked, he hopped off the couch and dashed to the door.

�Adie, why are you up so early?

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?� JrNovels.com
