the lord of all monsters

Chapter 247 "Tony, I've thought about it, between us... maybe there should be a child..."

Tony let Pepper lie in his arms to release his emotions, and waited quietly for a while.

After Pepper gradually calmed down, he let her go. Tony curled up his mouth and smiled, and said to her:

"Can dinner be brought forward at 08:30 tonight? I feel a little hungry."

"Of course~"

In less than half an hour, Pepper booked a Michelin three-star restaurant that never required a reservation.

Hundreds of waiters and a dozen chefs serve only two people.

All kinds of exquisitely shaped and expensive dishes are eaten under Tony's mouth like burning a piano and cooking a crane, just like eating hamburgers at a street stall on the roadside.

Pepper has long been familiar with this scene.

For a man of Tony's wealth, there is really no difference between the two.

For ordinary people, the difference between the salmon sushi in the roadside shop and the South Atlantic blue flag tuna sashimi that can be sold in the auction house is about the difference between one-twentieth of a month's salary and dozens of months' salary.

But for Tony, it's like spending a few dollars to buy ice cream on the roadside, or spending dozens more to buy Haagen-Dazs.

Well, not too bad.

And the burgers are really delicious!

This kind of thing specially made for the sweet taste receptors at the bottom of human genes is really addictive.

Tony's first request after his narrow escape from Afghanistan was to eat a bite of the double cheeseburger he always wanted.

Pepper knew Tony well, and although he didn't agree with his way of eating, he wouldn't object explicitly.

Seeing Tony's freewheeling attitude towards the delicious food on the table in front of him, Pepper felt very relieved, and let go of some hesitation in his heart.

Because that's exactly what Tony should be.

Pepper didn't know where the strange feeling in his heart came from, did it come from Friday's report?

Tony had already explained to him clearly that it was because of the replacement of the new armor that he was unable to contact Friday and himself in the first place.

Tony will have some weird new armor, and Pepper is no surprise.

She couldn't recognize the armor models that looked similar to her at first, but at least she could see a little difference in appearance.

But what does this mean?

Friday had already reported to himself that the Tony in front of him had the same voiceprint, iris, and even personality model as Tony.

And his way of speaking and behavior are exactly the same as Tony.

Pepper, who has been with Tony for more than ten years, can fully confirm this point.

He looks the same as Tony, has the same body as Tony, talks like Tony, including his attitude towards food, and language habits, so he is Tony.

After figuring this out, Pepper finally let go of his guard and enjoyed the candlelight dinner with Tony to his heart's content.

Yes, according to the plan, they are dating tonight.

As for what he asked in the morning, shouldn't he also be given an answer?

Pepper blushed a little thinking.

This morning, Tony suddenly ran over and told himself that he dreamed that there was a child between the two of them, and when he woke up, he thought that there should really be a child between the two of them.

Pepper knew that this was Tony proposing to himself.

The relationship between the two has already passed the test of enough time and events, and it has become meaningful and mellow, and it is indeed time for it to come to fruition.

It's just that I at the time felt uncomfortable with Tony always solving crises that didn't belong to him, so I hesitated for a while.

Later, Tony did promise himself a peaceful life and would no longer care about those messy things.

Pepper knew that it was really rare to be able to say these words to himself with Tony's character.

However, just when she was about to agree, she was interrupted by a mage dressed as if selling tickets in a circus. (daily milk method~)

Then the arrival of Bruce Banner made Tony irresistible.

This crisis also made Pepper make up his mind.

It seemed that it was time to give him an answer. I really had enough of this kind of worrying life.

It's time for him to calm down and live a peaceful life as an ordinary person.

When Pepper made up his mind, Tony kept stuffing things into his mouth indiscriminately while secretly observing Pepper's expression.

Tony knew that Pepper doubted himself a little. As the supreme mage, he still had this emotional perception ability.

But he didn't know what went wrong with him, where he showed his feet.

He knows that his body is exactly the same as Tony Stark in this world, and his personality and behavior habits are also exactly the same, so there will be no major problems in this regard.

But when it comes to details, he doesn't know what "he" ate and drank this morning, what he talked to Pepper, such trivial matters.

He can ask about Friday.

But Friday couldn't transmit the information directly to his mind, and it was impossible for him to see these things in front of Pepper.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could cast spells and detect Pepper's shallow memory without anyone noticing, and then he would know what she was thinking at a glance.

But he doesn't want to do this to those close to him. This is his principle and the constraint he has set for himself.

Even if it's just a parallel world.

Tony deeply knows that, just like the Iron Armor, if his power is abused, it will be a disaster, whether it is for the world or for himself.

Therefore, Tony can only pretend to be the same as usual while observing secretly.

After a while, he finally realized that Pepper had let go of his guard and began to trust him completely.

This made him secretly heave a sigh of relief.

I just said that my performance is completely fine.

It must have been because of Friday's report that Pepper had a little doubt.

Tony, who was relieved, also began to enjoy himself, and talked to Pepper more and more openly.

He found that because of the relationship of time, the time in this world is later than the time in his original time and space, so the relationship between himself and Pepper in this world is also better.

Even Tony has faintly felt that the two of them have reached the stage of discussing marriage.

Sure enough, the relationship between me and Pepper has come to this point.

Tony was not surprised by this result.

Besides Pepper, who else really likes herself?
Besides Pepper, who else could I really like?

only……

I'm really envious!
Tony remembered that Pepper in the original time and space was still arguing with him, so he couldn't help feeling a little envious and jealous of himself in this world.

Satisfied with food and drink, Tony was about to get up, pay and leave when he heard Pepper's voice in his ear:
"Tony, I thought about it, between us... maybe there should be a child..."
