Chapter 569

"Slap!"

When the crisp sound of the slap rang out, Stark and Thor were both stunned.

Stark knew he was doomed, and Thor, because he had just finished fighting with Stark and was just thinking in his heart that Stark was still a pretty good opponent, he was slapped by a frail human female.

Pepper, who had finished slapping, turned and left. Stark hurried to chase after her, grabbed her arm, and said: "Wait, Pepper, it's not what you think. Loki and I really don't have anything, and that child isn't born to her and me..."

Pepper shook off his arm, turned, hugged her arms, looked up at Stark, took a deep breath, shook her hair, and said: "How could I have believed your nonsense?! How could I have expected a playboy with a rotten reputation to turn over a new leaf??"

After speaking, she turned to leave again. Stark held her tightly. The very fluent explanation he had already brewed in his heart somehow couldn't be spoken. When he heard Pepper say this, he felt his heart was twisting in pain.

Stark tried to calm down, walked quickly to Pepper's opposite side, pressed his arms on her shoulders, and said: "Listen to me, I didn't betray you..."

Pepper stretched out a hand in front of Stark and said: "You don't need to use the word betray. You haven't made any promises to me, so there's no talk of betrayal."

Pepper took a deep breath. She knew how sensitive Stark was about feelings, but in a couple's quarrel, they often liked to stab the other person while also stabbing themselves.

"You'd better go tell those fashion models that you sleeping with me was you betraying them. They will have the patience to listen to you say these things."

After speaking, Pepper pushed aside Stark's arm and then walked out of the room step by step.

Stark was stiff in place, his arms trembling. Pepper had indeed inserted a good knife. Distrust, unwillingness to make promises, and past love history were the fundamental reasons why even Stark himself knew he couldn't stand in a normal relationship.

Thor wanted to open his mouth to persuade, but felt he had no position. After all, whether Stark and Loki had anything going on, no one knew. Now what he heard was all Stark's one-sided words. Even if Loki came to confront him, no one knew if the two of them were working together to deceive people.

To tell the truth, a man and a woman often staying in the same room, and even chatting until people around them knew they had a tacit understanding, it was no wonder Pepper was so angry. Thor converted the gender, substituted himself, and estimated that he would pick up his hammer and go to question the other party face to face.

But just as Pepper was leaning against the door frame panting, gathering the courage to leave for herself, another small black shadow "swished" past her side and then came to her front.

Helen raised her face and met Pepper's eyes. Pepper, no matter how angry she was, wouldn't vent her anger on such a small child. She turned her head, adjusted her center of gravity, and wanted to leave. But at this time, she saw that little girl open her mouth, her mouth full of sharp teeth, and then shouted at her:

"Mommy!

Pepper widened her eyes, and even Stark was shocked. He was like a statue that had just been resurrected, immediately walked quickly to Pepper's side, stood in a line with her, and then stared at Helen together. Who knew that at this time, Helen cast her gaze on Stark again and shouted at him: "Daddy!

"Don't play these tricks on me!" Pepper turned to stare at Stark and said loudly: "I'm not her mommy at all, you should let her go find..."

rice ball.

"Wah!

!"

A sharp, earth-shattering cry pierced straight through the windows of Stark Tower and echoed in the sky of New York.

How to describe the loudness and sharpness of this cry? Thor, standing in the laboratory, felt a stream of air that couldn't be resisted sweep past him. He took a few steps back, feeling his head buzzing.

Thor, with his Aesir physique, was still like this, not to mention Pepper and Stark. The two of them were leaning against the door frame on either side, covering their ears. And this was just the first wave of the offensive.

Subsequently, Helen started to wail loudly. This cry clearly had reached the level where the mass of the Stark Tower building dropped sharply. Stark and Pepper couldn't care about anything else, just wanting this terrifying big loudspeaker to stop immediately.

"Stop crying, stop crying, Helen!" Stark walked over, squatted down, and hugged Helen, but apart from making his ears suffer greater torture, it was useless.

At this time, Pepper also walked over, pushed Stark aside, and said: "Your posture for holding a child is completely wrong, you're choking her!"

"I've never held a child at all!" Stark said in a somewhat urgent tone.

Pepper turned her head and saw that Stark had already opened his mouth, started breathing with his mouth, and the frequency of his breathing was obviously faster. Among them, his right eye was squinting more severely than his left eye. Pepper knew that Stark's anxiety disorder hadn't fully recovered, and he easily had anxiety manifestations when facing sudden situations.

Pepper pushed Stark away, stretched out her hand, picked up Helen, and then slowly rocked her, stroking her back. Stark exhaled.

But just at this time, he saw that through the glass window of the opposite laboratory, he could see Jarvis typing rapidly in front of a computer. A screen in front of him slowly turned over, and on it were a few big words: "Explain quickly!

"Um... it's like this, Pepper, this matter has to start from Shiler's birthday before..."

Stark explained incoherently for a long time, but fortunately, Pepper had long been accustomed to his way of speaking that was sometimes topsy-turvy. She understood the gist, then frowned, lowered her head, and looked at Helen.

Before, she was too angry, so she didn't look at the details. Looking at it this way, Helen indeed didn't look like a human child, and thinking about it slightly, she knew that Stark's daughter could inherit anything, but it was impossible to inherit the Arc Reactor on her chest.

At this time, Thor behind her also walked over and asked: "Do you and my sister have anything going on? If the two of you are really in love, then go back to Asgard and get married. I don't allow you to be unclear, this is immoral!"

"The two of us don't have anything. Who exactly told you that we are in love? She's not my type at all!" Stark lowered his head, stomped his feet, wiped under his nose with his finger, and then gritted his teeth and said: "You know my reputation is rotten to the core, don't you know the style of those cover girls I dated before?"

Thor recalled carefully. Cover girls, actresses, and models, what other style could they be? Most of them were busty and very plump. Even if they were skinny models, they brought their own powerful sexy aura. And Loki, after she turned into a goddess, seemed younger and looked more like a young girl.

"Besides, I don't dare to have anything happen with her." Stark curled his lip and said: "In case she asks me one day if I have any opinions about her, I'll be blinded by the radiance behind her."

Thor exhaled, clearly relaxing somewhat, walked over, patted Stark on the shoulder, and said: "Fine, it seems I blamed you wrongly. However, you'd better be careful in the future, stay away from Loki. You playboys should go to jail."

"Hehe." Pepper sneered and said: "If all the damn playboys in this world had to go to jail, then the jail wouldn't be able to hold a single criminal."

But who knew, hearing Pepper say this, Stark relaxed instead. He smiled and said: "If I really had to go to jail, then I must be the one with the shortest sentence, right, my judge?"

Pepper turned her head away hard, not looking into Stark's eyes. She held Helen, coaxed her for a while, and then returned her to Stark, saying: "We aren't married yet, not even engaged, so she can't call me mommy."

"However, if you decide to adopt her, you are indeed her daddy. Go, a novice father always has to learn to bring up a child himself."

After speaking, Pepper left. After Stark held Helen and chatted with Thor for a few words, Thor also returned to Asgard because of his busy official duties.

Walking back to the laboratory, Helen jumped down from Stark's arms. Then, she took out a small earphone from her ear and threw it to Jarvis on the side. Stark widened his eyes and looked at the two.

The tall robot butler leaned down and stretched out his hand. The little girl jumped directly onto his arm and then sat on his shoulder. Jarvis said to Stark: "Clearly, the young lady's learning ability is very strong, and the timing was grasped very well."

"Also, sir, the instrument you used to synthesize diamond cutting tools just broke. The last defective product was cut with too many facets. Because it was very bright, I inlaid it on a ring. It is now in the jewelry box behind you."

"That hottest French restaurant in Midtown still has vacancies, and according to Miss Pepper's schedule, she has no work next, and is preparing to go back to rest."

"Now she has walked to the underground garage... She is opening the door... She got into the car... She is twisting the key... Oh, unfortunately, the car is broken, the navigation system isn't working, she must be very sad now..."

"Wait! Wait a minute..." Stark suddenly became flustered. He turned around left and right, then looked back, paused for a moment, grabbed the jewelry box on the table behind him, and rushed out of the door quickly. When entering the elevator, he was tripped and almost fell.

Helen tilted her head, then turned to look at Jarvis. She saw that on the machine display screen on Jarvis's face, a smiley face composed of symbols appeared.

Half an hour later, a commotion came from a restaurant in the center of Midtown. Not long after, cars from major media surrounded the place tightly.

"Swish," the gold and red suit flew out from the restaurant's window and then rose rapidly. In his arms, he was still holding another figure.

Under the gaze of the reporters, under the floating light arcs and dust of the New York morning, they stopped at the top of another building. The faceplate rose, Stark kissed her without hesitation, and at this time, the diamond on Pepper's middle finger was shining brightly.

On the roof of another high-rise building not far away, Shiler and Loki stood together. Loki said: "At that time, I was really angry to the point of madness. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have..."

"However, just as you expected, as long as I remain invisible throughout this matter, all our goals can be achieved." Loki turned her head, looked at Shiler, and said: "Sometimes, I am really puzzled, what kind of background, what kind of experience, can shape a freak like you?"

Shiler lowered his head, playing with a model of the initial version of the Arc Reactor in his hand. Loki let her gaze fall on it and asked: "Did Stark give this to you?"

Shiler nodded and said: "The first-generation Arc Reactor model. Does it look very complicated? But it's just a lightbulb."

As he spoke, he lifted the model up, letting it face the sun. The light rays passed through it, appearing brilliant.

Shiler moved his gaze away from the model, looked up, looked at Stark, who was kissing Pepper in the distance, smiled, and said: "It doesn't need energy, and it won't light up. It's still a lightbulb..."

"And I, am best at screwing in lightbulbs."
