Chapter: 775
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?�
Adie pouted and said firmly, �From now on, I�ll do my best to find Mommy a husband. He�ll share Mommy�s workload, love her, and protect her!�
Renee felt her heart warm when she heard this, and she couldn�t resist kissing Adie�s cheek.
�Adie, you�re the best, but work isn�t that tough, and I have you to love and protect me. That�s more than enough, so you don�t have to find someone for me.�
�It�s different!� Adie clenched his fists, trying to get his point across. �I�m your son, not your husband. What you need now is a husband, and that�s why I need to find you one.�
Renee stared at Adie, at a loss for words.
Leia burst into laughter, and grinned at Renee. �In my opinion, you should just let Adie find you a man. If he does find you a knight in shining armor, he�d also be finding a father for himself. Wouldn�t that be killing two birds with one stone? I�m sure Adie�s judgment is better than yours; whoever he chooses can�t possibly be any worse than a certain someone, don�t you think?�
Renee didn�t take what Adie said seriously and nodded absently. �Alright, Adie. I�m counting on you to find the man of my dreams. I�m very vain, so I need a man who�s tall and handsome. Good luck!�
�Don�t worry, Mommy, I�m vain too. I�ll definitely find you a handsome man!� The two bumped fists in agreement.
Renee had a little too much to drink last night, and she was having a pounding headache.
While Adie watched cartoons in the living room, she entered the kitchen to make herself some soup for her hangover. She cut a pear into pieces, soaked some white fungus, and added both into a pot of water. She then let it simmer for an hour.
Leia entered the kitchen with a bowl of ice cream, and leaned against the kitchen island as she said to Renee, �Renee, to be honest, I think breaking up with my brother was a goodmove for you. You didn�t love each other, so instead of getting married, you two should just remain friends. It�s better for both of you that way.�
Renee smiled faintly as she cut a watermelon. �I know there isn�t a man alive who will love me and my children more than your brother does. Losing him was my loss, but I genuinely hope he can find a woman who deserves him. As for myself, I don�t plan on getting married. Being single isn�t that bad. I don�t have to deal with people I don�t like, and I�ll have so much more freedom. All I want to do is to raise my children. Once they�re old enough to have their own families, I can do whatever I want. I�ll be able to travel the world, read books, or even become a nun!�
�Become a nun?� Leia was taken by surprise.
�You�re barely thirty! You don�t have to get married, but you can still get into relationships. There are plenty of fish in the water!�
Renee focused on cutting the watermelon, and just smiled without saying anything. �In my opinion, the male escort from last night wasn�t too bad. At the very least, he can make you happy. You don�t have to be stressed all the time�� Leia recalled how Renee had screamed for the male escort from below the stage last night. She just wanted Renee to feel young and free like that again JrNovels.com
