The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 481
Adie stroked his chin and furrowed his brows as he seriously contemplated the matter for a while, looking just like a tiny grown-
up.
When he was done thinking, he tiptoed and held out a hand for Mr. Q to shake, solemnly telling him, ‘Since you're repentant of
your mistakes, then we can be friends. A pleasure to meet you. Your guidance will be much appreciated."
The man's frozen lips arched up ever so slightly without him noticing it. He even bent down his body involuntarily so that he could
get closer to the kid.
"Pleasure to meet you too," he replied in a deep voice. "Your guidance will be much appreciated as well."
Adie was outstandingly tall for a four-year-old boy, but standing in front of a man who was well over six feet tall still made him
look tiny in comparison, as he was not even as tall as the man's long legs. Yet the sight of them together standing side by side
made such a comical contrast that they looked inexplicably cute together.
Everyone around them, including William Jones, was dumbfounded. On one hand, they were amazed by the calmness and
courage of Adie, a mere four-year-old kid. On the other hand, they were also astonished by the rare warmth and tender side
shown by Mr. Q, who was generally feared by everyone.
So you really could not judge a book by its cover after all! Just as still water could hide unfathomable depths below its surface,
their one meeting with the man himself completely eradicated the image of Mr. Q they had in mind after hearing countless
rumors about him!
William nursed the sore spot where he got kicked as he was clouded in a dilemma. Was this his golden chance to save his own
skin, or should he beg for Mr. Q's mercy so he would let the kid go?
Judging from what he saw, the tall and handsome man seemed to exude an excellent temperament. He looked much more
sensible than the one- eyed man, so William thought he might not be a senseless psychopath who would not listen to any
reasoning after all.
But before he could open his mouth, it was Adie who walked up to him and told him, "You've successfully brought me to Carmine
Pawn Shop. You've completed your task, so you can go back and tell Mommy that I'm fine now. Tell her that I've made a new
friend and I won't be seeing her for a while."

"Ki-Kid!" William was completely caught offguard. Bewildered, he replied," Do you have any idea what you're talking about?! This
is an extremely dangerous place and this friend of yours is not a good person! We should instead be begging him so he'd let go
of you, that way you'd be able to go home and meet up with your mother soon, so she won't get worried about you!"
"Don't worry," Adie assured him. "This isn't the first time I went missing. Mommy's pretty strong and calm about it now. Just tell
her that I'll surely go home once I'm done playing with my new friend, okay? Bye bye!"
Adie waved William goodbye and walked away, but returned again after a few steps to tell him, "By the way, you shouldn't be
friends with Briar Desrosiers anymore. She's a really naughty person, and there's no hope of her ever turning nice. You're pretty
naughty too, but there's still hope for you if you'd improve yourself. Anyway, thanks for being my driver and bringing me here
today! Goodbye!"
The little man then went over to Mr. Q, raised his chin to look up at him and bluntly told him, "It's done. You can take me away
now."
The off-road vehicle was very tall, but Adie stretched out his sprightly arms and legs to climb up like a heart-achingly adorable
little monkey.
No one had ever dared to speak that way to Mr. Q except for those with death wishes, yet Adie seemed to have acquired a
special immunity against this man's frightening aura. Not only was he completely unafraid of him, but he was also even giving Mr.
Q orders!
But what was even more puzzling was Mr. Q's reaction. Not once did he show a sign of anger or impatience with this boy. Not
only that, he even tenderly and thoughtfully put on Adie's seatbelt, which was an incredible sight to behold! He could not be any
more gentle and kind to the boy if he had been his biological father!
"Sit tight," the man reminded Adie in a deep voice as the boy sat in the passenger seat next to him.
Adie leaned back against the seat lackadaisically, his round, chubby face completely untroubled and at ease as he told the man,
"Don't bother trying to drive so fast, because no matter how fast you are, you'll never beat Mommy's speed. You guys are nothing
but losers compared to her!
