‘Well, about that…”
Adie’s eyes darted around as he contemplated the question. He figured that he could not possibly letthis man know that he was the villain Stefan Hunt’s own son himself, since that would lessen thechances that he would want to be his mother’s helper.
With that in mind, he told the man in a serious tone, “My daddy is Liam Osborne. You do know him,don’t you? Mommy told me that he’s not too shabby himself. He’s the future heir to the Osborne family,which is one of the eight great families of Beach City. Mommy also said that with the combinedstrengths of the Osborne family and the Everheart family, defeating the Hunt family is only a matter oftime!”
“Is that so? Hmph, your mommy is pretty ambitious, isn’t she?”
Mr. Q’s words sounded especially curt and surly, as if he was upset about something.
‘Briar Desrosiers, you sly woman! How dare you lie to me?!’
‘But it’s fine,’ he thought. ‘It doesn’t matter whether this kid has the blood of the Hunt family or not. Aslong as he’s Renee Everheart’s son, then this deal is definitely worth it!’
Without any emotion on his face, he opened the car door and stepped out, striding into the pawnshopwith his long legs.
Adie, utterly unafraid, followed him in bouncing little steps, as if it was just another normal day of goingback home for him. He was truly a free spirit.
An attractive young man in a long white coat warmly greeted the man as soon as he got inside.novelbin
“You’re back, Mr. Q! So… this is the priceless treasure you were talking about?”
The young man was called Chase Cheever. He was the person in charge of the Carmine Pawnshop.Although he was still young, he was gifted with a pair of shrewd piercing eyes that made him theleading figure in the item appraisal circle. Everything in the pawnshop had to go through his appraisalbefore they were accepted here.
As Chase noticed Adie, he looked the boy up and down, scrutinizing him, before displaying a confusedexpression.
“What an adorable baby this boy is! He is good-looking, for sure, but I can tell at a glance that he’sbeen brought up like a prince. He won’t be able to work much, and he won’t be worth that much moneyeither. What need do we have for someone like him?”
He had heard a few days ago that Mr. Q would go out and procure a new ‘ rare treasure’ he had foundhimself. He had not slept at all after hearing that, as he was just too excited to see what Mr. Q wouldbring back. But this is just… a useless brat?!
“You don’t need to know anything about that,” replied Mr. Q. “All you need to do is make sure he is welltaken care of in the next few days.”
Mr. Q put his hands in his pockets and turned around to look at Adie with a somewhat cold attitude, asif trying to maintain a distance from the boy. But then Adie unexpectedly ran up to him and clung ontohis leg like a koala bear before declaring in a pure childlike voice, “I knew you’re a good person, LittleQ!”
Mr. Q’s whole body stiffened. He neither pushed the boy away nor embraced him.
Adie raised his soft and chubby face and smiled as brightly as a flower in full bloom. Then, in a voicethat sounded as adult-like as he could muster, he said, “Congratulations. You passed my test. I can
introduce you to Mommy without any worries now. If you work hard as her helper from now on, yourfuture will be bright!”
Both Mr. Q and Chase were rendered speechless.
Chase began to understand why his boss wanted this little brat now. His audacity and courage alonewere beyond the reach of some adults. He was indeed a precious gem, and if they continued to polishhim, the power he might attain in the future could be immeasurable!
He assumed that the brat’s antics would lead Mr. Q to erupt in rage. After all, rumors had it that hedespised being physically close to anyone.
Surprisingly, not only did he not lose his temper, he even gently caressed the boy’s head and gentlyreminded him, “Don’t get cheeky.”
Could… Could it be that this little brat was actually Mr. Q’s illegitimate son?!
The next day, Leia gingerly unlocked the door to Renee’s bedroom and cautiously leaned half of herbody into the room, and looked around.
All she saw was everything in the room in impeccable order just as it had always been. There was nota trace in there to suggest that anything ” passionate’ had happened last night as she expected.
Her best friend Renee was lying on the bed with her back turned towards the door. She was sleepingvery soundly, wrapped up in a thick beige blanket
