Chapter 1315 Farewell Before Leaving, Past Regrets
With great energy, Tony worked long hours. During this period, he was either supervising Ultron's upgrading of omnics, or staying in his own laboratory to solve the government's accumulated official affairs through the Internet. Although it is said that some people cannot be seen, everyone knows that he is working, so no one will bother him.
And after being so busy for a while, the matter in Tony's hands finally came to an end temporarily. And in such rare free time, he immediately thought of his wife and the child who was about to be born.
It was very close to the day when his child was born, but as a father and husband, he did not express anything to his wife and child, which was obviously his dereliction of duty. However, it wasn't that he didn't want to make such an expression, but that he really didn't know what attitude to use to face them, especially the child who was destined to be different from birth.
Can he be a good father to that child? Can he protect him to grow up little by little? Can he give him the life and future a child should have? He was not sure about this at all, and it was precisely because of this uncertainty that he was even more afraid to face his expectant wife and the little life that was about to be born.
However, what should come will come after all. As a father, he couldn't wait for his child to be born, and he didn't even dare to meet him. Therefore, it is also time to show courage and make up your mind to be a good father.
Thinking of this, Tony strode towards his wife's room. But as soon as he got there, he heard a burst of cheerful chatting and laughing. This made him suddenly surprised, because of his status, not everyone in this White House could have such a happy conversation with his wife. And even if there are friends coming to visit, there is probably no one who can appear here at this time. So, who could it be?
Driven by curiosity, he immediately pushed open the door, and immediately, he saw an existence beyond his expectations.
"Serena? Why are you here?"
Serena, the goddess of moonlight! Her appearance was definitely something Tony hadn't expected. This is not only because of her identity, it means that the identity of Huiyao City is really embarrassing for him now. But the U.S. government needs the support of Huiyao City, which is also the condition they negotiated from the beginning. The existence of Huiyao City is recognized in a way that is almost separatist, and what Huiyao City has to do is to show its support for the government.
Serena is the representative of Huiyao City in the US government, her existence itself means that the cooperative relationship between the two has been maintained. Of course, everyone knows that this kind of relationship is actually not very strong. There is neither any interest bond nor human relationship between them, so this is just a matter of doing.
In addition, Serena herself is a cold person, and she hardly takes the initiative to talk to ordinary people unless necessary, so Tony is naturally a little surprised that she appears here.
But the surprise was the surprise, and soon, Tony regained the self-cultivation and enthusiasm that a master should have.
"Honey, you should find someone to inform me. In this way, I can also arrange in advance and invite Miss Serena to have dinner together. Like now, I have nothing prepared. For our guest It’s really unreasonable to say.”
"I've thought about this too, but you're at work, and I don't dare to disturb you at that time. But don't worry, I've made arrangements, and you just need to spend some time with our guests later. "
Maria gave Tony a blank look with reproach, but what she said showed that she had already arranged everything properly. As far as a wife is concerned, she definitely belongs to the kind of good wife. And it is precisely because she is always so smart and virtuous that Tony loves and cherishes her even more in his heart. So he didn't care about the presence of outsiders, so he sat directly beside his wife, held her hand carefully, and said to her with a smile.
"I knew my wife must be ready. Sometimes I really can't help but think that God must owe me a lot of money to marry a smart woman like you, otherwise he wouldn't be able to put you next to me."
"I just know how to play with my temper." Although there was still that kind of reproach in his eyes, in fact Maria couldn't help laughing. Everyone likes sweet words, and sweet words like this spoken by one's dear ones are naturally more popular.
As the saying goes, flirt. Under normal circumstances, if no outsiders were present, she would definitely have a few words with Tony. But now, since Serena, an outsider, is present, she naturally has to take care of the overall situation. So just saying this, she directly brought the topic back.
"Okay, I won't talk to you about these things. The guests have business here. I wanted to wait two days before telling you. But since you are already busy, let Serena explain it to you Bar."
"Is there something wrong?" If Tony was surprised by Selina's appearance, then the fact that he was looking for something surprised him even more.
You know, Serena is not here for the first time, she has been in Washington for a long time. And in such a long time, let alone looking for Tony to do something, she didn't even meet Tony a few times by chance. Of course, this is also because she has nothing to ask Tony to help her solve. As a transcendent life that is completely different from ordinary people, if she really has something that cannot be solved, then even if she finds it on Tony's head, Tony may not be able to do anything about it. Besides, with such a big god behind her, she didn't need to go to Tony.
Based on this reason, Serena's intention to come surprised Tony so much, and when he cast his curious eyes on Serena, Serena, who had been silent because of his arrival, immediately He opened his mouth, and said to him with a little prudence.
"I'm saying goodbye."
"Farewell?" As soon as the words were said, Tony frowned immediately. If it was according to his wishes, he definitely didn't want Serena to leave just like that. Of course, this is not because he has any coveted heart for Serena. Although Serena was very beautiful, he still understood the so-called truth that a friend's wife should not be bullied. The reason why she doesn't want her to leave is entirely because of the meaning that Serena's existence here represents.
She is the representative of Huiyao City, which is a very meaningful identity. And more importantly, the power she possesses. This made her as intimidating as a human-shaped nuclear bomb.
Whether it is Hydra or any other organization, after seeing the powerful force that suppressed everything when Goddess Serena came, I am afraid they will be full of scruples about her existence. And as long as she stays in such a place, no matter what kind of enemy they are, they won't have the courage to make any big waves. The best they can do is to do some sneaky tricks in private, and such tricks are impossible.
It can be said that Serena is equivalent to the umbrella of the White House. Her existence fundamentally eliminates the possibility of being beheaded like the Indian government. However, if she just leaves like this, then obviously this protective umbrella that was put on the bright side will no longer exist. Although it is impossible to say that this will have any absolute impact on the increasingly full-fledged Stark government, it will cause no less trouble.
If possible, Tony would never let Serena go. However, this is just thinking about it in a dream. He doesn't have the ability to tie such a goddess to such a small place as Washington. So he could only shrug his shoulders with a wry smile, and then said helplessly to Serena.
"Although I am very reluctant to hear such news, since this is your choice, then I will naturally respect it. However, can you tell me why you are leaving? I don't want it to be because of our problems And it makes me feel very sorry for you to have such an idea."
"It's not for this reason." Frowning and thinking for a while, Serena finally made up her mind and told the reason why she wanted to leave. "I'm leaving because the master's second child is about to be born. As his maid, I should go back to him. Besides, my work here is almost over."
Seemingly seeing the puzzlement in Tony's brow, she quickly explained.
"Don't worry about the covenant between us. I have already arranged for a successor, and she will continue to stay here on my behalf as a link between Huiyao City and the US government. Of course, you should also know that this is just a It’s just a formality. Many things have been explained between us, and some things are absolutely impossible to repeat.”
Serena was referring to the things that Tony used Zhouyi in the past, which Tony could hear, and because he heard what she meant, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Because of those, he lost his best friend. It is really hard to say whether such a choice is right or wrong. But still the same sentence, this is his choice, and he doesn't regret it, even though he already misses his old friend very much.
"How time flies. His second child is coming soon!"
After saying this with emotion, Tony put his pleading eyes on Serena.
"I know I'm not qualified to meet him now. I'm sorry for him, I admit it. But I think, if you can pass me a gift for me, it's my last wish from an old friend who is not qualified , do you like it?"
"certainly!"
After hesitating for a moment, Serena nodded. She knew that there was no one to blame for this incident, if she wanted to blame, she could only blame this world for its cruel fate.
They just made their choices, that's all.
