godfather!
Except for Howard and Maria who were smiling, everyone else in the living room was stunned.
Before Mike could object, Tony exclaimed: "Old man, are you kidding me! Godfather? I'm so old, you want me to be your godfather?"
Mike raised his eyebrows, waiting for Howard's explanation.
"Tony!" Howard shouted and said solemnly to Mike: "Mike, you are a good father."
Mike nodded and said, "I admit it."
Tony's mouth twitched, so shameless.
"Tony... is a troublesome man who, like I was when I was young, often offends people."
Mike nodded, acknowledging this.
Howard looked at Tony who looked unhappy and said, "So, I don't want him to be sent away to reunite with me right after I die."
"You..." Mike looked Howard up and down and said, "Isn't it good?"
Howard smiled bitterly and said, "Soon."
When he said this, a look of pain flashed across his face.
Maria smiled softly at him and held his hand.
Howard looked at him tenderly and said, "I have cancer. It's in the late stage. I don't have much time left."
"What?" Tony looked at Howard in horror and laughed dryly: "Old man... No, Dad! Are you lying to me? Right!"
Howard looked at Tony calmly, shook his head, and said, "I think so too, Tony."
Tony stared at Howard, and after a few seconds, after finally confirming that he was not playing a trick on him, he sat down on the sofa as if he had lost his soul.
Maria hugged Tony gently, while Howard looked at Mike, waiting for Mike's answer.
In fact, Howard is already very satisfied.
If it weren't for Mike, he and his wife would have been killed four years ago. Now he has lived for four more years and has handed over Stark Industries to Tony step by step. After a few years of leisurely life, he has no regrets. .
However, he was still worried because Tony looked so much like him.
Although he is smart and is recognized as a genius scientist in the world, he is arrogant, venomous, arrogant, and egotistical...
He knew very well that such a character would offend people too easily, and the world today was different from decades ago. He didn't want Tony to be accidentally killed because of his character.
Although he had confidence in Tony, he felt that he should still leave an insurance policy for this child.
So, in his eyes, Mike became a perfect candidate.
He has strong abilities, usually acts low-key, and can always stand up at critical moments. The most important thing is that Mike is a perfect father in his eyes.
He has never met a father who can teach a child with super powers to be so obedient.
These children are humble and polite. They never take the initiative to cause trouble, and they never use their abilities to do bad things. When they encounter injustice, they will save others regardless of danger...
Than what he taught...
He glanced at Tony and sighed.
Looking at Howard's expression, Mike could also guess what he was thinking, but forget it about becoming Tony's godfather, he would be pissed to death.
So, he shook his head and said firmly: "Sorry, I can't accept it."
Eric and Charles breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Howard and Maria were very disappointed, and Howard couldn't help but ask again, "Are you really not going to consider it? Although Tony has a bad personality, he is definitely a good kid."
Mike has never seen Howard like this, but maybe this is his father...
"dad!"
Tony looked at Howard, his mind a mess.
Is he going to be sent out now? And also after adulthood
How ridiculous!
Howard looked into Mike's eyes and saw that Mike didn't loosen up at all. The eagerness in his eyes slowly faded away, and then he laughed out loud.
He seemed to have lost his original demeanor because of Tony's incident.
Seeing this, Mike said: "Howard, you should have confidence in Tony. He can live this long without being beaten to death, and his ability to survive is still very good."
Howard nodded, then frowned.
This sounds reasonable, but something seems wrong.
At this moment, Mike continued: "However, you and I are still friends. Tony, I will help you watch as a friend."
Howard finally smiled.
Maria said gratefully: "Thank you, Mike, you are such an angel."
In her eyes, ever since Mike rescued the couple, he has been equated with an angel.
Howard breathed a sigh of relief and felt that before leaving, he should give Mike some gifts, such as a large deposit, or some shares.
Howard pressed Tony's shoulder and said, "Tony, call me uncle when we meet later."
"Huh? Uncle? Him!?"
The corners of Tony's mouth twitched. Before he could recover from the emotion of his father having cancer, he had an uncle
He was a young man in his late twenties, who was brought by his father to recognize his uncle...
Hey, wait.
He glanced at Charles and Eric with a strange look.
If you call this guy uncle, will these two brats not be able to call themselves uncle
Moreover, this guy is already over forty years old. Calculating his seniority, it seems that he is indeed an uncle...
When people's thoughts are skewed, they will turn to a position that they did not expect. When people react, they have already made a decision that they will regret for the rest of their lives, or they will be happy.
"Uncle, uncle."
When Tony called out, he froze for a moment, then came to his senses.
Damn, what did I just call? What did I just say
His mind is a little confused now.
Sometimes it was about his dad having cancer, sometimes it was about calling him Uncle Mike, and sometimes it was about Charles and the two calling him uncle...
Tony's expression kept changing.
But Howard and Maria looked very happy.
"Dad? Are there guests?"
At this moment, Clark returned home from school. He glanced at Howard and the others with some surprise, but still greeted them politely. Then he looked at Charles and Eric, winked at them, and said: "Are you back? Did you enjoy your trip?"
"good."
The two responded, and Charles reached out and nodded. After connecting the two through abilities, he told Clark what had just happened and about his trip.
Clark nodded imperceptibly and smiled.
Mike looked at the clock on the wall, stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's stay here and have dinner."
He patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "Enter the guests well."
Clark nodded.
Mike walked into the kitchen and quickly cooked a table of delicious dishes for the guests to enjoy.
When the Howard family left, Charles held Howard's hand, pulled him aside with a smile, and whispered something to him.
Howard's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he walked out with a heavy heart.
