Chapter 44: Lukes's Misunderstanding

Lux Zemo is a good-looking boy with a lively personality.

He had fine blonde hair, soft and obedient on his head, and a pair of large, clear and innocent brown eyes, and long, delicate eyelashes like a doll.

But when he sits, his small body will be straight, and his eyes will look at strangers generously, which seems very assertive.

When he saw Daniel, he didn't recognize that the person in front of him was the girl Iron Man who had saved him in the first place, so his expression was rusty and lost.

He asked in a childish voice, "Who are you?" What about Mom? Why didn't Mom come? ”

It's a really hard question to answer.

Daniel squatted down, trying to show a very friendly expression, and his blue eyes were gently at eye level with him: "Your mother went far, far away, so now she asks me to take care of you." ”

Lux's big brown eyes immediately revealed an innocent, yet sad look: "She's not coming back, is she?" ”

Daniel was a little uneasy, he was afraid that the next moment the child would cry, because his eyes were red, and those big brown eyes were shining with water: "Don't cry, don't cry." ”

"I don't cry, I've cried several times, but my mother hasn't come."

Lukes said with red eyes: "I know, if someone dies, adults will always make up nonsense to deceive children, saying that they have gone to a distant place, gone to heaven, and become stars...... However, to die is to never appear again. ”

Daniel was speechless.

However, from Lukes's clear words, he vaguely realized that this child was not only smart and precocious, but also a little more truthful.

"Are you my adopter?"

"Yes."

"Will you live with me?"

"Yes."

"Will you be nice to me, then?"

"Yes."

"How good?"

"Do what I can."

"Can I skip carrots?"

"I can't."

"Not as good as it could be." Lux thought for a moment, sighed like a little adult, and commented briefly.

Halfway through, he suddenly said, "However, I'll be nice to you, too." ”

"What?" Daniel asked, a little confused.

Lux said seriously: "I'm too young to do anything yet. But when I grow up, you will be old, and when the time comes, I will be good to you. ”

"Hey, little one, that's not something you're going to worry about right now."

Daniel laughed all at once.

But the next moment, the boy said in a very strict tone: "I will be good to you when I grow up, so you can't abandon me." ”

Sky! Daniel froze.

He couldn't help but applaud this little boy in his heart, and gave him a full score for this wonderful logic.

For a little guy who is only in the first grade, being able to explain things so clearly is enough to prove his ingenuity.

But at the same time as the narration, he can actually analyze one ring after another, this kid is a genius! Absolute genius!

And this genius will be my son! Daniel thought proudly.

He couldn't wait to stand up and dance in celebration immediately: 'Stark's, showing off that he is a genius all day long, my son is also a genius!' ’

He had already thought in his head of 'showing off his son's one hundred and eight methods'.

Then, laughing silly to himself.

In Lukes's uneasy eyes, he affectionately hugged this little guy who was a little melancholy and a little cunning into his arms, and kissed his little face several times.

Then, in the most numb tone of his life, he called sweetly and said, "Little Lux baby, don't worry, I will love you for the rest of my life." ”

Lux was even more melancholy: 'Why does this person who adopted me look a little silly. ’

Then, Daniel began a busy day.

He and Lux first reported to the new school and attended a small parent-teacher meeting hosted by a class teacher.

After the parent-teacher conference, he had a brief chat with Lukes' teacher, and after that, he went to do some formalities, paid the fees, and finally, took Lukes back to their new home.

The villa was huge, and Lukes looked at it with a little surprise and asked him, "Are you rich?" ”

Daniel silently compared himself to Tony and shook his head: "It's not rich." ”

Lux was silent, and he thoughtfully didn't ask any further.

However, this clever little guy guessed in his mind: 'Is this house rented?' I don't know if the rent is expensive or not? Actually, there is no need for two people to live in such a good house. ’

He glanced cautiously at Daniel, fearing that the new adopter would suddenly tell him, "Lukes, I spent all my money to pay the rent. So, I don't have the money to support you, so I'm sorry to help you pay your tuition. ”

Lux was worried.

When I was cooking dinner, there was a little accident.

Because Daniel hadn't cooked for himself for so long, he had long forgotten those little family tricks.

So, while cutting the onion, it was spicy and shed tears.

Lux held his hand on the door frame and stood quietly in the kitchen doorway, looking at him worriedly.

He felt that his adopter, let alone compared to his almighty father, was not even as good as his weak mother. At least, when my mother is in the kitchen, she won't be so busy and cry non-stop.

But in fact, Daniel's cooking skills are not terrible, he really just hasn't cooked for too long.

After all, the life of a bachelor is mostly spent with various takeaways.

The shrimp are a little too fried, the steamed eggs are a bit old, and the creamy mushroom soup is not thick enough......

But Lukes thought of the adoptive man in the kitchen, 'embarrassed and anxious to the point of crying,' and with pity and compassion, he obediently ate his share of dinner.

In Daniel's opinion, it was a very smooth day.

He and his new son initially established a relationship and, in the years to come, they would trust each other and live happily ever after.

But in Lukes' view, the new adopter may be a good person, but life is full of crises.

Especially before......

While Daniel was talking to his teacher, the sensitive, intelligent boy sat obediently on the side, but kept his ears open to listen to their conversation.

He vaguely heard Daniel introduce himself by saying, '...... I'm a clerical and I'm mainly in charge of reception. ’

Lukes had never heard of this position.

At his age, children only know fixed and iconic professions, such as teachers, soldiers, scientists, etc......

So, while Daniel went to go through the formalities, he quietly asked a good-natured teacher about what the reception desk does.

The teacher simply explained to him: "When a guest visits, you have to register; When the call comes, answer it promptly......"

The teacher said a lot of trivia.

But the clever Lukes, summed it up for himself, it should be: miscellaneous without any technical content.

Lukes, who has loved to think since he was a child and has delicate and sensitive feelings, has fallen into a kind of love called worry.

That day, while he was doing his homework, he took out his diary and simply recorded: [My new adopter is a bit stupid, he likes to talk straight. Others say too ......]

He stopped his pen, looked up the dictionary for the words he didn't know, and then continued to write[...... Euphemism, he will show a stupid expression that he doesn't understand. He doesn't have a good job, he is a handyman, but he likes to live in a big house, so it must cost a lot...... Unlike Dad, Dad is a powerful soldier, brave and smart, knows everything, and knows how to make money...... I'm really worried about adopters. When he cooks tonight, maybe it's because it's too difficult for him, and he's crying in a hurry (crossed out) and crying, you see, he can't even raise himself, how can he feed me? ]

If Daniel knew that his behavior of hiding his identity and avoiding causing trouble to his son had caused such a big misunderstanding to Lukes, he would definitely cry to death!

However, when he was asked about his profession by the teacher, he could not reply: I am an avenger, my main job is a superhero, and my job scope is to save the world and maintain peace on the earth, right?

[…… It's okay to be stupid, though. ]

Lux continued to write in his diary: [After all, I'm smarter. If he was stupid, he wouldn't have deceived me, and even if he did, he would have been discovered by me soon...... I promised my dad that I would protect myself when he was away. So, having a dumber adopter should be considered a controllable threat, or a controllable threat...... Well, Dad, that's what you taught, right? I don't remember well...... I miss you so much, Dad, Mom, and Grandpa......]

This is a misunderstanding!

If Daniel had known what Lukes was thinking, he would have felt very wronged, and tried his best to defend it: 'It's not that I don't understand euphemisms, I'm just pretending to be when I don't want to answer some questions.' And: 'I'm not crying because I can't cook, I'm really chopping onions and crying!' ’

Unfortunately, he did not correct Lukes's erroneous views in time.

This made it so that for a long time, in Lukes's impression, his new father was the kind of little clerk who couldn't do anything well, was on the verge of being fired every day, would be roared by his boss and disciplined, and worked overtime until late at night (Avengers mission) from time to time, and couldn't make much money...... In the end, in desperation, in order to support himself, he simply sold himself to the boss (crossed out) and ate by his face (crossed out).

In short, no matter what happens inside, this pair of freshly baked father and son, on the surface, get along with each other initially, and they are still harmonious.
