The Untouchable Ex Wife novel 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."

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!"
