Chapter 62: Am I Like a Fool?
"Stephen, what are you talking to my lovely nephew?"
Before Joey's lie could be finished, a soft body pounced on her, it was Christine, and she put her arms around Joey's neck and left a very piercing lip print on the right side of his face.
Strange's face turned green at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Joey, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss my aunt!"
Christine has tears flashing, Joey's grandfather has been in poor health, and with the busy work at the hospital, she rarely has her own personal time.
But no matter how busy she is, it is impossible to completely miss the time, in fact, Christine has secretly visited Maria many times, but each time it has been unhappy, so Joey, who is kept in the dark, does not know that her aunt exists.
Maria was hard-hearted and didn't want to have anything to do with the surname Palmer.
"We didn't talk about anything, we just got to know each other."
Strange smiled faintly and looked at the weeds at his feet.
He feared that if he continued to watch, he would be tempted to use his magic to hang Joey on a tree.
"Christine, Joey is a big boy, you can't kiss him like you used to, you have to be reserved."
A majestic voice pulled Christine off Joey's body.
"Sister, you can't blame me for this, it's really Joey who is so cute, I'm sure no girl can resist the urge to leave lip prints on his face."
Christine let go of Joey's neck with a stupid expression.
Although Joey never eats Maria's pretended majesty, it doesn't mean that Christine, as a younger sister, can ignore it.
"Outsiders are still there, pay attention to the image."
Maria wanted to teach her sister a second lesson, but she thought that she often couldn't control her bites, so she didn't pursue it anymore.
Alien? The smile on Strange's face distorted.
"It's not too early, let's have a light meal together."
Joey wants to take Wanda to the hospital while she is eating.
"I know of a very good restaurant, and it's around here, and I'll take you there." Strange was a little worried that he would be abandoned, and hurriedly asked.
"Need you to show the way?"
Joey looked at Strange with a staring eye, and only nodded reluctantly until the latter showed a flattering smile: "Okay, you guys go first, send me the location when you get there, I still have some business." ”
"Stay safe on the road."
Maria knew what Joey was referring to.
Then the soldiers split up, with Strange driving the Palmer sisters in search of a restaurant, and Joey taking the pendant to the hospital.
"Thank you, Joey, I don't even know how to repay you."
Wanda bit her lower lip lightly and said, "The day before yesterday, today, and maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...... Thank you so much. ”
"Just verbal thanks? I prefer something practical. ”
After getting acquainted, Joey's bad problem returned.
After saying that, I regretted it, Susan hadn't done it yet, Gwen was only just stable, and she didn't have the energy to take care of the fourth one at all, and Wanda was not stupid, she had seen Susan, and she was not a suitable candidate for the strategy.
"Of course there is, but we'll have to wait."
Wanda replied seriously: "My shoulders are a little inconvenient now, you can bear with me for the time being." ”
"Wanda, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Joey was stunned.
"I promise that when I recover from my injury, I will definitely express my gratitude with practical actions."
Wanda nodded solemnly, and she decided that she would personally prepare a sumptuous meal to surprise Joey and Maria when the time came.
"I'll wait, no matter how long I'll wait, you prepare slowly, don't rush, show your best state!"
Joey is also very solemn, this fish doesn't have to cast a net to catch it, he jumps up and jumps into the pond, which is so intimate.
And Wanda is very thoughtful, such a big blood hole on her shoulder, it does have an impact on the beauty and experience.
"With your magic... Super... In short, you create a shield to protect yourself. ”
The misunderstanding was reached, and Joey didn't hide it anymore, and happily launched the super speed to take Wanda to the nearest hospital, and then the ticket was sprinkled and the problem was solved.
The gunshot wound is just a mistake, it can be caused by oneself at home, and the doctors and nurses think that calling the police or something is a bit redundant.
......
About 40 minutes later, the two walked out of the hospital, and Joey found the restaurant with Wanda according to the location sent by Maria.
"Who is this?"
As soon as Wanda appeared, it attracted Christine's attention, not because of how beautiful, well, it is indeed beautiful, Wanda's facial features are delicate like a porcelain doll, and long crimson hair is also very rare.
But that's not the point, the main reason why Christine is interested is that her lovely nephew has a girlfriend, and she is also a girlfriend who can be brought to see her elders at will, which shows that the relationship is very close.
"Wanda. Maksimov, my cousin. Joey introduced.
Joey had confessed to Wanda in advance, the girl was a little cramped, and her nervous hands didn't know where to go, but her smile was still sweet: "I'm Wanda, it's nice to meet everyone." ”
"Cousin...... Maria, can you explain? ”
Christine looked at her sister with a 'you tease me' expression, and the latter shook her head helplessly, indicating that she had nothing to say.
This has to make Christine wonder if her father, who has just entered the earth, has had an affair.
"You go to the other side."
Christine kicked Strange hard, gave him a look, and then warmly invited Wanda to take a seat: "Wanda, this is not an outsider, take it easy, come to Auntie's side." ”
The age difference between the two in appearance is not large, but given that she is her nephew's girlfriend, Christine naturally considers herself an elder.
As for her cousin's ridiculous excuses, Christine, of course, won't believe it, but it's inconvenient to say something unspeakable.
To be precise, the appearance of the people at the table can't tell the generational difference, only Joey's face is slightly more tender.
"Why am I sitting with you?"
Strange, who had been chased away by his ex-girlfriend, fiddled with the knives and forks on the table with some unhappiness.
"I want to say that to you as well."
Joey picked up a napkin and spread it on his lap, then attacked a plate of oysters poured with sauce.
"Can you tell us about your reaction now? You don't seem to be new to magic. ”
Strange tilted his head slightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it, in fact, you were exposed when you heard my name, you know me, but I have never met you." ”
"Before answering this question, you tell me whether the Ancient One Mage is dead or alive." Joey was ready to start fooling around.
But to be on the safe side, he decided to test it first. Although the system has confirmed the existence of the Ancient One, it is impossible to ensure that the other party is suspended from faking death and retired, or that the retrieved is not the Ancient One of the current universe, the Marvel Multiverse, everything is possible.
"You know the Ancient One Mage is dead?!"
Strange couldn't help but exclaim, seeing three pairs of curious eyes glancing at him, he lowered his voice and said, "Joey, you are not just Christine's nephew, who are you?" ”
When Joey heard this, he said lightly: "I am very good friends with the Ancient One Mage, and we have known each other for about 3,000 years. ”
"Am I like a fool?"
"I don't have to lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can ask the Ancient One Master for verification." Joey said with a look like you're going to die.
“......”
Strange stared at Joey obliquely for a moment, then silently picked up his knife and fork and smashed the steak in front of him.
