Chapter 1125

Adie was fuming. With his hands behind him, he ran to a river. Facing the billowing waves of the river,he pretentiously put up a dull look.

Renee walked over to him quietly. When she saw his back, helplessness was the only thing left in her.She inevitably became mesmerized by how awesome one’s genes could be. They were indeed strong.novelbin

Adie appeared gloomy and dull before her, just like a mini-Stefan. When he grew up, he might evenbecome colder and more aloof than Stefan.

Carmine Pawnshop was located at the border of three countries, so its surrounding environment wasrough and chaotic. It was a lawless place, a refuge for bad hats and ne’er-do-wells. However, this areaalone was serene and calm, as if it was a utopia in the midst of the chaos.

No one dared to scheme against Adie, regardless of how bad and complicated the people out therewere.

Here, Adie was regarded as the emperor’s successor, heir to the Night Demon. This meant he wouldbe safe even if he stood by the bridge to enjoy the scenery or even if he decided to walk the curb withhis eyes closed.

Renee stood behind Adie with her arms across her chest. Silence engulfed her as she took in thescenery with him.

“Humph!”

As Adie was immersed in the view, his fury intensified. He picked up a few stones and threw themacross the surface of the river, making a few beautiful instances of stone skipping.

“Wow, Adie, you’re very awesome. When did you learn how to do stone skipping?”

Praises inevitably escaped Renee.

She learned stone skipping for a very long time, but she had yet to master it. So, she admired thepeople who could do beautiful stone skipping vehemently.

Adie turned around and glanced at her before he pouted and stated, “Mommy, I thought you didn’t wantAbby and me. Go ahead and take care of that bad guy. Why did you come back?”

“Alas, my good son. Are you still mad? I told you that I didn’t abandon you and Abby deliberately. I hada secret trouble I needed to settle.”

“What’s your secret trouble? Didn’t you have a change of heart and betray Daddy? Then you elopedwith Daddy’s brother, didn’t you? What a big secret trouble!”

“Er…”

Renee struggled to handle the situation.

Adie had matured a lot more after being separated from his mother for half a year. Consequently,Renee was forced to give in because of how good he was at his sarcastic remarks.

“Where did you hear that from? It’s all nonsense. Don’t believe it.”

“I looked it up on the Internet. Daddy was too sad because of your betrayal, so he chose anotherwoman. He’s going to marry another woman. Abby and I will lose our Daddy by then.”

When he reached that point, his bright eyes soon became somber. Clutching the stones in his hands,he said, “No one will ever teach me stone skipping again from now on.”

In the past, he never enjoyed fatherly love, so he felt that it was not a big deal and was unnecessary.

However, he and his family of three led a worry-free life on Sun Island after their reunion with Stefan.He found that he still loved Stefan very much, and he yearned deeply for fatherly love.

He missed how Stefan placed him on his shoulders. He also missed having Stefan teach him how tofish in the sea and play volleyball with him on the beach… His mother could not replace his father in alot of things.

“So, is that why you are angry at me? Is that the reason you’re ignoring me?”

Renee asked him softly. Deep guilt was buried in her eyes.

Her heart was filled with deep gloom. She could not imagine what great disappointment was burdeningAdie’s young soul.

“Honestly, I’m not mad at you.”

He heaved a long sigh and turned to walk to Renee, holding her hand and apologizing obediently. “I’msorry, Mommy. I know that I shouldn’t blame you. You and Daddy have the right to be with someoneelse and the right to pursue your happiness. I’m just… afraid that you and Daddy will give us up oneday.”

“Silly boy. It’s impossible. It will never happen!”

“Why not? Didn’t you and Daddy leave us? You went missing without saying anything. And Daddy… Iwent to him that day, and it seemed like he didn’t see me. He held another woman’s hand and walkedpast me.”
