"W-What did you say?" Renee's smile immediately disappeared, and her expression turned fierce. "I'm not sure |
heard you. Be clear."
"Mommy, you said you wouldn't get mad or hit me." Adie knew Renee was about to lose her temper, and calmly
continued, "If you're mad, I'll stop. You can hittoo if you want, you don't have to hold yourself back."
"Hey, no. I'm not mad!" Renee touched Adie's head forcefully, almost hurting him. She gritted her teeth and said,
"I promised that | wouldn't get mad. | won't break my promise!"

"Okay!" Adie nodded and started explaining his plan. "Honestly, I'm not happy here in Beach City. | loved the free
life we lived on Sun Island. | miss the ocean, the beach, the manta ray I fed, and my mysterious small house...
Beach City is so boring, and the kindergarten is so childish. I've already learned the entire elementary school
syllabus, and everything is so boring. What's the difference between staying in a classroom every day and going
to jail?" Adie had wanted to tell Renee about this for a long time, but was worried she would hit him if he did.
Since Renee promised she wouldn't hit him, he had to take this chance to tell her his true thoughts. "I could force
myself to stay here because of Daddy, but you've parted ways with him on good terms. There's nothing else to
keep us here, so why don't we go back to Sun Island? | think we were happier back there... Don't you agree,
Mommy?"
"..." At first, Renee was furious, but then she realized that Adie was right. The few years they spent on Sun Island
with Margaret were the most relaxing and happy days of her life. Adie missed the sunlight and sea breeze there,
and so did Renee... but it wasn't ideal.
"I understand your feelings, but you and Abby should live in a normal society. You both need to spend twith
different people and experience new things. Although we had everything we needed on Sun Island, it was
isolated. You'll get disconnected from society if you stay on Sun Island for too long." Renee tried to reason with
Adie. "If you miss Sun Island, we can go there for a trip, but it's unrealistic to stay there permanently."
"Why is it unrealistic?" Disappointment gripped Adie, and he said stubbornly. "We've lived there for many years,
so why can't we do it now? Plus, | don't think there's anything wrong with my social skills, and there's no need for
the way | like?"
"The way you like?" Renee swallowed, not knowing how to explain such a deep topic to a child. Adie had always
been advanced in his studies and capabilities, so it was only natural that his thinking was advanced too. It was
probably not suitable for a child to live on an island alone, but Renee felt that it would be okay once Adie was in
his twenties. At that moment, Adie's thoughts were like a young adult's-although it sounded ridiculous for a child,
it was logical for a grown person.
"So, you prefer a life on an island, away from people?" Renee asked carefully, trying to understand Adie's
thinking.
"It's not that far away from people-the market on the dock is only thirty minutes away by boat. | can mingle with
the people there too..."
