Chapter 2657

Stark and the others made a fuss for half the night; when they returned to the Beverly Manor, they were all a bit tipsy; fortunately, considering Pepper's situation, no one was truly drunk; drinking and going to bed on an empty stomach might cause a hangover headache, so they ate some snacks around the table in the living room.

Jarvis and Wanda also came down quickly, but didn't see Schiller's figure; Stark asked, "Where's the doctor? And that mass of sand we caught earlier, where did they go?"

"Dr. Schiller took him back to the hotel." Wanda's expression was a bit complex; she said, "The doctor said it was a bit noisy here, which wasn't conducive to his work, so he took Baker back to the hotel."

Stark immediately showed an unhappy expression.

But this expression had other meanings in the eyes of others.

"Tony Stark is this kind of arrogant person." Polaris said very directly in a backstage interview; she extended one hand, completely opening her palm and gesturing in front of her chest, "He thinks all his friends should follow his wishes, right?"

"Where they go, what they do, should all listen to his instructions; if he needs them but they disappear, it's them who are sorry to him." Polaris was full of impatience; she said, "Then he will bring out all kinds of excuses, like I pay you a salary, like this is your duty, like the conditions you proposed actually aren't anything to care about."

"He's like a collection of the most annoying bosses; he never considers other people's feelings; I don't remember how many times he's ordered me around like this."

"Yes, I need this job, and I still have to earn money under him, so I can't speak ill of him behind his back, but I still can't help it; does he pay me a salary, so I can't complain about those unreasonable requests?"

"Just like Schiller, we all know that psychologists need a quiet environment when treating patients; Stark must be thinking, isn't the villa he spent a lot of money to get quiet enough?"

"But come on, Wanda is a novice mother; in her arms are two little wild beasts that simply can't communicate; this one is fine, that one cries again; what kind of quiet environment is this?"

Polaris kept shaking her head, almost shaking her hair off; she continued, "He always throws trouble to others; when others are trying their best to deal with it, he blames others for not following his wishes; that's not for these people's good at all, it's purely venting his desire for control; I'm too familiar with this kind of person."

"I have to mention Jarvis." Stark also said in a backstage interview, "I know he is indeed very worried about Wanda; this is his duty as a father, that's right."

"But he should also consider a little bit that Dr. Schiller took a mental patient to the hotel; what is his own situation, what is the situation of that mental patient, can they get along harmoniously, and if they cause some trouble, can the hotel's security system compare to here?"

Stark shook his head, obviously very disapproving; he said, "I also don't understand Schiller a bit; although I know he is solving trouble for me, but such a big villa, and the soundproofing system is very good, how could he not find a quiet room? Does the treatment space he needs have to be as big as an airport?"

Jarvis and Wanda walked down from upstairs and sat at the table; Wanda slumped on the table as if she had breathed a sigh of relief, picking up a bag of snacks and throwing them into her mouth.

Her state couldn't be considered good now, and her expression was a bit scattered; Carter had a good relationship with everyone here, so she sat beside Wanda and asked her, "Are you okay? Wanda, you look too tired; really don't want to go rest for a while?"

"Sorry, but I can't sleep." Wanda shook her head and said, "I just coaxed Billy and Tommy to sleep; now my head hurts terribly."

Then she stood up and said, "I think alcohol might help with sleep; do you guys have any unfinished wine?"

Pepper was also full of concern, but the expression on her face looked a bit disapproving; in the backstage interview, she also expressed her point of view.

"I know that many times people need some things to numb themselves, letting themselves fall into complete relaxation; this is good for recovery; I'm not saying a novice mother can't do this."

"Alcohol can relieve fatigue, but it can't solve trouble; when she wakes up, the trouble is still there; if such pressure is always continuous, one should think about whether one should change the way, otherwise one will only numb oneself with more and more things, which will hurt physical health."

"I'm a bit worried that Wanda will have such a trend, but perhaps I shouldn't show my worry so obviously on my face; I know she's already very tired, and this might give her greater pressure."

"And I also didn't expect Tony to collapse before her; I just knew I should believe Dr. Schiller; Tony's emotions are indeed too unstable recently."

Stark stood up from the table suddenly, looked at Wanda and said, "Are you planning to go face your children drunk? Is this how you plan to do it?"

Wanda turned her head suddenly and glared at him, saying, "What does my plan have to do with you? What right do you have to point fingers at me here?"

"You didn't set a good example for anyone!" Stark raised his voice and said, "There are many ladies and a mother-to-be here; don't you think you are putting pressure on them?!"

"I just need to rest." Wanda could still maintain reason now; she said, "I never planned to get myself drunk!"

"But you are always showing an attitude of avoidance." Stark was obviously a bit genuinely angry; he said, "You want people to see how difficult it is for you, but besides making the ladies anxious, this has no meaning!"

Wanda looked at him as if looking at a lunatic; she said, "I've always been used to drinking a little wine before sleep; why are you making such a fuss? My husband is Jarvis; what does all this have to do with you?!"

"I said it, you will make people anxious."

"Are you saying I shouldn't be here? Indeed, this is your home; neither I nor my children should rest here, right?"

"I never said that, but you..."

"Tony." Jarvis interrupted him; he walked over and held Wanda's shoulders, whispered a few words in her ear; Wanda pursed her lips, glared at Stark, and went upstairs.

Stark's thumb and index finger kept rubbing, his upper and lower lips pressed together, also kept squirming, and then he sat down suddenly, not saying a word.

"Sure enough! What did I say! What did I say?! The doctor isn't here, they're definitely going to be in a mess!"

The documentary screen slowly shrank until it reached the bottom right corner of the screen; what appeared on the screen were three young people, two white girls and one black girl, all dressed very trendily, two of whom had a bunch of earrings.

"I think Stark is completely making trouble out of nothing." The girl on the left said, "He can't treat a mother who has already tried her best like this; Wanda clearly coaxed the children very well; she's just a bit tired and needs to relax; she shouldn't be blamed like this."

"Right, but I think Wanda might not have understood his meaning; I think Tony might be saying 'You shouldn't show that you seem so tired that you must use alcohol to numb yourself in front of another mother-to-be'," this does give people some pressure, doesn't it?" The girl in the middle turned to look at her companion.

"Of course, no matter what, his attitude is indeed too bad; he's completely a rotten person." This girl added.

"I think something is wrong." The black girl on the side touched her chin and said, "They said each other was unstable at the beginning of the first season; of course, now it seems they are indeed more unstable than the other, but I still think Stark is a bit over-excited."

"Why not listen to what the doctor says? I guess they will arrange for him to explain, right? He always does this work." The girl in the middle pointed to the screen and said.

"You must be missing your doctor, ha, you little bitch—" The three girls laughed and played together.

And when Schiller's figure appeared in the backstage interview screen, they quieted down and listened very seriously to those theories they would absolutely never listen to in school.

"Tony Stark suffers from anxiety disorder; he doesn't just have anxiety emotions, but truly suffers from anxiety disorder; under this premise, many things aren't something he can control, so he will look very much like a mental patient."

"We all know he shouldn't have said this on this occasion; he should have been considerate of Wanda; in fact, he could have done it, because he is a sound adult; as long as his logical thinking is normal, he should have been able to think that taking care of children is a very hard thing."

"And drinking a little wine before sleep to get a good rest can't be called depravity or unhealthiness at all; she isn't an alcoholic, just has always had this habit; following the habit itself can make people get mental relaxation; Tony's reason is clear about this point."

"But why can't he do it? This has to mention the compulsive behavior of anxiety disorder, which is what people call obsessive-compulsive disorder in daily life."

"You don't want to do something but you did it; there must be a reason; the vast majority of people do things they don't want to do because of external reasons, such as having to do it, choosing the lesser of two evils."

"But OCD patients do things they don't want to do because of their own reasons; to be more precise, it's their own mental drive."

"Some kind of thought in their hearts requires them to do some inappropriate things; this thought doesn't come from any rational thinking, but is more like mental code scrambling."

"The simplest compulsive behavior is repeatedly checking whether the door is locked and whether the fire is turned off; reason tells you that you have been there a dozen times, the door is indeed closed, the fire must be off, and the circuits are all normal."

"But no, you must go; you must go again; no matter what, you must go; even if everyone now looks at you with abnormal eyes, even if the neighbors can't stand your weird behavior, even if this will implicate your most important person to worry about you very much, you must go."

"Compared to the chaotic behaviors brought about by mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, the most significant feature of OCD is that the OCD patient's spirit is clear; they don't have memory confusion; they can think clearly, and they even know completely that they shouldn't do this, but they will still do it."

"To go deeper, compulsive behavior is acquiring a sense of security; when you go back again and find the door locked, you will feel a very meager sense of security, feeling that the door is locked, nothing will harm me, this is very good."

"To investigate the reason, it's because there is no other source of security anymore, and one can only rely on this lowest-level, most shallow way to acquire a sense of security."
