Laura directly repeated Pepper's words at that time, and Tony listened to it with the corners of his eyes twitching.

"Well, actually, what..."

After Laura finished retelling, Stark's classmate weakly opened his mouth to defend himself, but was directly interrupted by Laura:

"You don't have to explain that to me. Pepper is here tomorrow, so take advantage of this opportunity for yourself. ”

Tony swallowed the rest of the words back and began to think about what to prepare for the remaining ten hours or so to win Pepper's forgiveness.

"Okay, that's pretty much what needs to be said, and the car outside is ready to go. I'll take this basket back to your hotel later, I'll have to go see those two little ones." ”

With that, Laura got up and walked out of the dining room, leaving Stark to slump in his chair and continue his divergent thoughts in silence.

After a few minutes, Tony, who still couldn't clear the mess in his head, let out a long sigh and slowly stood up with his hands on his chair, ready to leave.

"Hmm... I seem to have forgotten something? Oh yes! What a basket that. ”

Stark, pacing to the door, patted himself on the head, then walked back to the table and picked up the basket.

"Hey~ The shape of this thing is really ugly!"

Finally returning his attention to the real world, he couldn't help but complain with disgust after seeing the somewhat tattered basket in his hand.

"I don't want to carry this thing back to the hotel, it's too damaging to my image."

Putting the basket back on the table, Stark was ready to reach out and lift the equally tattered cloth that covered it, and take the contents away. As for the broken basket, it is better to leave it in the house of its original owner.

"Wait... What is this? Chicken.. Egg?! ”

After seeing the true face of the contents of the basket, Tony Stark's always extremely intelligent brain went down directly.

With the last glimmer of hope, he reached out and picked up an irregular oval object from the basket, and after careful identification, the result was... This thing really is an egg! Fresh! It's still poopy! Home eggs!

Tony's face turned green after coming back to his senses, and he put the two fresh eggs in his hand back into the basket as quickly as he commended, and he immediately rushed to the bathroom and began to wash his hands carefully.

After a few minutes, Tony, who had both hands turned red, stood back in front of the basket of eggs, he really wanted to know why Laura had prepared a basket of fresh eggs for him, but he didn't want to go directly to the person concerned.

"Huh? Got a piece of paper in it? ”

Finally, he found a key item in the basket, and reached out with the index and middle fingers of his right hand to pull the thin sheet of A4 paper out of the eggs.

After Stark carefully read the short "instruction manual", when he looked at the fresh eggs in the broken basket again, there was no disgust in his eyes, only full of excitement and curiosity, and he couldn't wait to go back immediately to try the effect of this so-called "Oriental Cooked Egg Hot Compress Therapy".

So, in the room on the second floor, the Maximov siblings, Laura and Katie, a total of four people, heard the sound of running outside the open window at the same time, and several of them quickly glanced at each other and gathered to the window.

Then he saw Tony Stark, dressed in a casual suit, holding a rag-covered broken basket that did not fit his own painting style, towards the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the gate of the manor.

"What is he doing here? Why did you run so panickedly, and it seemed that you were still holding something in your arms? ”

Wanda and Pietro's bad impression of Tony has not yet been reversed, so when they see this scene, they all wonder if this sanctimonious bad guy has stolen something from Laura's estate.

Katie, who didn't know the truth, also looked at Stark who was running farther and farther away with great interest, and then looked at Laura on the side.

Laura, who put the basket in front of Stark herself, naturally knew what it contained, and she asked the old butler to help get those fresh eggs from the farm next door, but she also couldn't understand why Tony was running around with them like a treasure at the moment.

After a "whoosh", two silver trails appeared in the room, and Pietro, who had already returned, raised his right hand to the other three, holding an egg he had taken from the basket Stark was holding.

The eyes of the four were focused on the egg that Pietro had raised, and for a moment, the big guy fell into deep thought.

Wanda and Pietro siblings: It's an egg, right? Whether it's in the war-torn Sokovia homeland or when he was captured and held in custody by Hydra, eggs are quite familiar food, so why does a basket of fresh eggs make Stark so excited?

Katie's inner OS: Eggs are a good thing, but it shouldn't be worth Mr. Stark's behavior, right?

Laura said to herself: Is there anything special about this basket of eggs that the old butler found that I don't know yet? But look at the egg that Pietro is holding in his hand, which is obviously just an ordinary egg!

The four of them were puzzled, and Tony, who didn't know that the "baby" in his arms was missing, had rushed into the car and urged the driver to hurry up.

That night, twenty-four hours after he had carefully calculated the time of injury, Tony took out a steaming hard-boiled egg from the pot he had asked the hotel to prepare, peeled the shell as fast as he could, and then applied the egg to the area near the bruised eye according to the "best physiotherapy technique" he had come up with after reviewing various materials.
