The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 682 - 610

’I betrayed her?" Ace asked in bewilderment, wondering how that statement made sense. "Adie!" A voice called out, and Adie turned around to see Justin waving at him. ’Coming!" Adie grinned when he saw Justin and ran towards him, leaving Ace standing there in confusion. "Didn’t your mommy tell you not to talk to bad guys? Stay far away from him." Justin rested a hand on Adie’s head and glared at Ace. He had heard from Joanna that Ace had lost his memories of the twins too, so Ace had no idea that Adie was his son. Joanna had begged Justin to pretend to be Adie and Abby’s father to avoid trouble, so Justin purposely tried to sound like he was Adie’s father. As expected, Ace got the wrong idea, and his gaze turned cold as he scoffed, "I would have stayed away from him if I knew that he was Joanna’s son. It seems like he’s just as dangerous as his mother." After that, Ace shoved his hands into his pockets and left the garden. He didn’t want to admit it, but an unexplainable anger burned inside him at the thought of Adie being Joanna and Justin’s son. He couldn’t understand it at all. Glancing at Ace’s back, Adie shook his head. "My mommy made the right decision in breaking up with him. He has mood swings, and his injured brain is making him so dumb. He wouldn’t be able to make my mommy happy at all." The little boy’s maturity and seriousness amused Justin, and he burst out laughing. "Kid, you’re not even five, how would you know what mood swings are? You’re even better at choosing men than women are. No... you’re better at choosing men than your mommy." ’That’s for sure!" Adie continued proudly, "Daddy Liam is the only man who’s passed my test, so you need to work harder."

"Huh? I need to work harder?" Justin didn’t expect this to circle back to him. Smiling, he asked, "What should I change to be worthy of your mommy?" "Firstly, you should be more sincere because you’re always so casual and carefree," Adie said sharply as he pointed the bouquet at Justin.

"I’m not sincere enough? I poured my heart out for your mommy, isn’t that enough?" Justin queried, feeling somewhat affronted. "No, it’s not!" Shaking his head, Adie said firmly, "You said you love my mommy but you never really gave her anything, and I didn’t see your sincerity." ’About that..." Justin scratched his head awkwardly. "You might be right, but the problem is... I never had the chance to do it." "No, you do!" Adie exclaimed seriously. ’Can you give me an example, Master Adie?’ Justin asked Adie eagerly, wanting to know what he could do for Joanna. "It’s very simple. Do you know what my mommy needs the most right now? ’ Adie asked mysteriously. "What is it?" Justin asked hesitantly, feeling like he was walking into a trap set by an overly clever little boy.

Seeing how Justin was slowly entering his trap, Adie smiled mysteriously but kept Justin guessing. ’You should know my mommy well since you like her so much. Why don’t you try to guess?"

"You want me to guess?" Rubbing his chin, Justin nodded contemplatively.’ I guess the thing your mommy needs the most is the sincerity of an excellent man like me. It’s the reason why I’ve appeared in her life, because I’m just the thing she needs."

"Ugh!" Adie pretended to vomit and complained, "You’re so cheesy, Mr. Baldwin; no wonder my mommy doesn’t like you. You say you’re sincere but isn’t that just an empty promise? You should let your actions do the talking."

"Haha! You’re so young. Do you even know what empty promises are?’

"Yes, I do. Empty promises are promises that are never kept while sincerity is the exact opposite." Adie narrowed his eyes at Justin." Do you want to make empty promises or let your actions speak for you?"

"Okay, stop beating around the bush. Just tell me what you want me to do." Amused, Justin found himself completely under Adie’s control, and they had circled back to Justin making contributions again.

"Well... My mommy doesn’t need love... but she does need money, the money to revive the Pierce family. Isn’t your family very rich? Can’t you give my mommy some? I’m sure a few billion isn’t a lot for you," Adie said bluntly, negotiating like a businessman. His idea was simple-he figured that his mother’s life would be simpler if she had more money, and then, she could spend more time with him and Abby.

"So, that’s what you want?" Justin chuckled and agreed to it without any hesitation. "Yes, you’re right. I’m the sole heir of my family, and I do have a lot of money. I can always give your mommy money if she needs it."

"Really?" Adie’s eyes lit up, and he nodded approvingly. "Sir, you’re pretty reliable. I think it’ll be good if my mommy dates you. She can just make herself happier by buying things. Well, I’ve made up my mind to pick you as my new daddy because you’re so much better than my dumb scumbag daddy!"

"You said it! Oh, I’m going to record this." Justin was over the moon because he had finally gained Adie’s approval. He immediately fished out his phone and recorded Adie’s words.

In his opinion, the first step to winning Joanna’s heart was to win over her two children. He felt that Abby would be easier to persuade since she mostly cared about looks, so as long as he dressed up handsomely, she would be on his side. The troublesome one was Adie because he and Ace were so alike in their deviousness and intelligence. Justin would always fall into Adie’s traps before he even knew what was happening, much like what had just happened. He had willingly promised to give up a few billion for nothing.

That was how smart Adie was.

Justin and Adie returned to the ward triumphantly, both feeling like they had gained something.

"Where did you go, Adie? I was worried about you." Joanna let out a sigh of relief the moment she saw Adie. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I picked your favorite flowers for you, Mommy, and I got you something really good!" Adie handed the bouquet to Joanna and declared proudly.
