Chapter 463 Are you Howard Potts?
Chapter 463 Are you Howard Potts?
“Is this the house in Los Angeles?”
After resurrection, the couple had become gray-haired.
But he didn't show any shock or panic.
Howard was calm.
Even his eyes lit up when he saw Leon for the first time.
Then he walked forward and hugged Leon tightly.
"Leon! My big boy, thank you for everything you have done for me and Maria, thank you!"
After Howard let go, Maria gave Leon another big hug.
"Thank you, Leon. Look at you, my child. You must have suffered a lot for following Tony for so many years."
"Uh, no, actually Tony, um, does seem to be well taken care of by me."
Leon was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
"Actually, I should be the one thanking you, um..."
Leon was slightly stuck, thinking about how to address the two people.
Although it is appropriate to call them parents directly.
But in the end, he only felt deep gratitude towards the two of them.
There isn't much family affection.
Speaking of family affection, he and Tony have become real family over the years.
"Just call us Howard and Maria. Everyone does that. You're already independent, man. You won't get any pocket money if you keep calling us mom and dad."
Howard gave a teasing smile, and his serious face revealed a bit of youthful playfulness.
He was also a playboy when he was young.
It was not until middle age that people gradually became serious due to responsibilities, family and other reasons.
After going to death, Howard finally let himself go again, and he is not serious again for the time being.
Maria nodded beside her: "The Goddess of Death told us that you would resurrect us, Leon, and she specifically asked her for our souls."
"You are our pride, Leon. Adopting you was the best decision we made."
Maria held Leon's cheek with her old hands and looked at him carefully.
"Look at you, your eyes are still as beautiful as when you were a child, like black gems!"
"cough!"
Maria also plans to recall what Leon looked like when he was a child.
Suddenly, someone coughed next to me.
And the coughing continued and became louder and louder.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Tony put his right fist to his mouth and coughed like a consumptive.
He no longer had the nervousness he had just felt as he was sorting out his clothes and feeling helpless.
A face full of speechlessness and impatience.
He almost shouted, "Your biological son is here. Can you move your biological son and older son first, and then move your younger son?"
Howard and Maria were both attracted by the coughing sound.
"Oh my Tony..."
"Hey, why are you in my house?"
Maria then noticed Tony, and her motherly love naturally flowed out, and she wanted to hug Tony too.
But Howard got the upper hand.
The old man with white hair and beard had deep sunken eyes that were so lively.
He looked at Tony with reminiscence and surprise.
"No, why can't I be here?" Tony spread his hands, his forehead feeling a little tense.
He suddenly had the illusion that he was abandoned by his parents in his middle age.
Good, good, good, this old guy Howard targeted him as soon as he was resurrected.
All his tears and sorrow back then were in vain.
Tony was just about to snort, give a cold look, and sneer back like he did when he was young.
But then Howard said in surprise: "Yes, why are you here? I haven't seen you for many years, Howard Potts."
"We separated at the base in the 70s and never saw each other again. You said your wife gave birth to a daughter. She must be about the same age as my Tony now, right?"
Tony's expression froze, as if he had been hit by an arrow from across the universe.
He thought of the dinner he attended in the B2 universe a few hours ago.
At the banquet, another Iron Man told him in detail the process of traveling through timelines to obtain the gems.
Iron Man traveled through time to the 70s.
I also met Howard, my father at that time.
While the two were talking, Lao Gang suddenly had an idea and named himself "Howard Potts".
They discuss child-rearing issues and family responsibilities.
When they parted, Howard told Iron Man that he was willing to do anything for his unborn child, and Iron Man boasted about this to Tony.
broken.
After remembering everything, Tony suddenly couldn't control his expression.
He realized that he looked exactly like that "Howard Potts."
So the dad either really thought he was Potts, or he felt he had picked up the wrong child.
"No, I, um, actually I am..." Tony stammered, his forty-something heart filled with helplessness and absurdity.
"What are you?" Howard looked at him puzzled.
"I... this may be a little strange and unbelievable, but..."
Tony took a deep breath, as if ready to give up the whole world, and said with a sigh.
"But I am Tony. I was not taken away by mistake. I am not Potts either. At least the Potts back then was not me."
Tony quickly sorted out the causes and consequences in his mind, ready to explain it to his father from beginning to end.
Leon stood behind the Howards, his hands in his pockets, watching Tony's reaction with relish.
But Howard once again exceeded their expectations.
He suddenly smiled: "What are you doing, kid? Of course you are Tony. Who else could it be if not Tony?"
"Come on, even though it's many years late, but..."
Howard took a few steps forward and hugged Tony, who looked doubtful about his life.
"I'm so proud of you, Tony, you're a better person than me and a true hero."
"Ah? Oh, oh...wait, are you really talking about me?" Tony felt Howard's embrace, his mind a little disconnected.
"Of course it's you! What are you thinking about?" Howard loosened his arms and smiled mischievously.
"I was wondering..." Tony looked at the smile on his father's face and suddenly understood.
"Ah! You knew it was me from the beginning? Old man, you are kidding me! Wait, what you just said is true?"
"Of course, you are my pride. I know everything you have done, as well as what you have done in other universes."
Howard became much more serious now, and his playful look softened.
"I love you, Tony."
Tony stared at his father blankly, then suddenly fell silent for a long time.
For a moment he thought back to his childhood, the day Howard died, the arguments they had had.
The father who was always strict and demanding seemed to have changed.
And he himself has grown up, too.
In Leon's words, he himself is actually an old guy.
When Tony spoke again, he could hardly suppress the sobs and relief.
"Thank you. I love you, too, Dad."
Maria also walked forward and hugged Tony.
But as the warm words went on, they turned to other places.
"Tony, my Tony, let me see, how come you haven't aged? Look at your wrinkles, you've taken good care of them, you must be in your forties, right?"
"This is because of the serum. I injected the serum that Leon and I researched together." Tony explained while looking at his mother.
