Chapter 79
Damián and Tony continued talking until Pepper came back again to tell them that the food was ready.
''Let's eat. I invited you to lunch, but it's late and we've only been talking,'' said Tony, laughing lightly.
''Let's see how your food is. Someday I'll invite you to Madripoor to taste the specialties of the place,'' said Damián with a slight smile.
''You dare to take me? Aren't you afraid I'll invade your whole system?'' asked Tony as he walked with Damián to the table.
''I'm confident you won't be able to," Damián said with a laugh.
''Sounds like you're challenging me," Tony said before gesturing for Damián to sit down.
Damián and Tony had a casual conversation over lunch.
''Tell me, what is it like to have children?" Tony asked calmly.
''It's great," Damián said with a friendly smile.
''But you can forget about fun nights or sleeping in," Damien said with a soft chuckle.
Tony grimaced. He was not open to such changes.
''I'm sure you'll want it in the future," said Damián, smiling reassuringly.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m
''I don't think so. My father wasn't very good to me. He never loved me, so I don't know how to love a child. Maybe I shouldn't have them," said Tony, waving his hand dismissively.
''Come on, don't be so negative. I'm sure everything will be fine if you have a child. Besides, our children can play together," said Damián, laughing.
''What do you say we make an arranged marriage? I'll have a son, and he'll marry one of your daughters," Tony said, holding back his laughter as he watched Damián's expression change.
Damian just looked at Tony blankly, he really wanted a beating.
''Tony... Obadiah arrived," said Pepper, interrupting them hesitantly.
''Why did he come?" Tony asked with a slight frown. He had invited Damián over to chat and have some fun. He didn't want Obadiah to interrupt them or start talking business.
''I don't know. I'll go see if I can get rid of him," Pepper said, giving Tony a bitter smile as she headed for the door.
''How are you getting along with Obadiah?" Damián asked as he took a bite to eat.
''We get along well. I'm grateful to him as he always takes care of me and the company. When I came back, he gave it to me without any condition. He's like the last family I have left," said Tony, smiling slightly.
''Last family? What about Pepper?" Damián asked with a smile. He secretly recorded Tony's words. He would be sure to show them to him in the future.
''Pepper... she's like my babysitter. She's even more irreplaceable to me," said Tony, shaking his head while laughing.
''You probably wouldn't survive a week without her," Damián laughed.
''Tony!" said Obadiah, exclaiming joyfully, interrupting their conversation.
''I see you have a visitor. Excuse me for coming unannounced," said Obadiah cheerfully as he nodded toward Damián.
''Don't worry," said Tony, although he was a little upset inside. He didn't show it.
''Why the sudden visit?" Tony asked with a smile.
"Come on, Tony, you have a visitor. Let's not talk about that kind of stuff," said Obadiah before sitting down across from Damian and pouring himself some liquor.
'Do you know I have a visitor? thought' Tony silently.
Obadiah's shamelessness left Damian speechless.
"Mr. Damian, I heard that your daughters were born. Many congratulations," said Obadiah with a smile.
"Thank you very much," Damian replied, nodding politely.
An awkward silence followed due to Obadiah's presence.
Once they finished eating, Tony looked at Obadiah with a smile.
"Obie, Damian and I were talking about racing our cars. Do you want to come?" asked Tony, already knowing the answer.
"Uh, no, I'm not so young for that sort of thing anymore," Obadiah said, forcing a smile.
Damian also nodded and made it seem like they had talked about it before.
"Well, let's go then," said Tony, smiling at Damian.
"Let's go," Damian said, nodding with a slight smile.
"Do you want to borrow a car?" Tony asked.
"Don't worry, mine is enough," Damian said, declining.
"Then wait for me outside. I'll go out with my car," Tony said, walking down to the garage.
Damian left the house and got into his car, waiting for Tony.
Damian and Tony chatted while they ate until it was a little late.
"See you," said Damian.
"Sure, remember to invite me next time. Your daughters looked really adorable," said Tony as he got into his car.
"Of course, just look at the way I look. My daughters will clearly be cute," said Damian narcissistically.
"Fuck you," said Tony, starting the car and driving off.
Damian chuckled lightly before getting into his car and driving somewhere out of the way before disappearing.
Damian showed up at Kamar-taj. He hadn't seen Jen in a while. She had told him she was going to be busy with some mystical stuff. It was the date, and she still hadn't gotten back in touch with Damian, so he decided to go see what was going on.
Damian's arrival attracted the attention of some people. Mordo was the only one who approached Damian cautiously.
"Mordo, right? Is Jen here?" Damian asked, looking around.
"Jen?" Mordo asked in confusion.
"The Ancient One," said Damian.
"She's recovering. She had some confrontations with the dark dimension," Mordo said.
"Confrontations?" muttered Damian with a frown.
"Take me to her," Damian said with a nod.
"That's not possible," Mordo said in denial.
"I'm not asking you," Damian said, looking Mordo in the eye with a smile.
Mordo clenched the weapon in his hands as beads of sweat began to accumulate on his forehead.
Damian wasn't pushing him in any magical way, but just feeling his magic and seeing his red eyes glow slightly caused sweat to break out on his body.
"Damian, don't scare my students. Come," said Jen's voice from inside.
"Okay," Damian said, walking toward the house where Jen was.
Mordo couldn't help but let out a sigh that he didn't know he was holding back as he wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Are you hurt?" Damian asked in bewilderment at the sight of Jen.
"No, it's just that I used too much dark energy, and I have to remove it slowly," said Jen. There was a trace of black under her eyes.
"Why didn't you ask me for help?" Damian asked with a frown.
"It is the Supreme Sorcerer's job to confront mystical threats," Jen said.
Damian just rolled his eyes at her foolishness.
"Come to my house. My daughters were born, and you haven't seen them yet," said Damian, smiling slightly.
"Actually, I missed it. While I was recovering, the thought of seeing your daughters gave me some encouragement," said Jen, smiling slightly.
"What are we waiting for?" said Damian as he held out his hand.
Jen just shook his hand with a neutral expression.
Damian felt the excess dark energy in Jen's body before devouring it. Jen's complexion immediately became pinker, and the dark circles under her eyes disappeared.
Damian gave her a satisfied look before teleporting them both home.
"It had been a while since I'd been here," Jen said, looking around the house.
"That's right. You hadn't come to visit us," said Sophia, appearing.
"Hi, it's great to see you again. Let's have tea later," said Jen, smiling.
"Sure, Miss English," Sophia said with a laugh.
"Where is everybody?"
"Natasha is napping. As for the others, Carol took a console to the babies' room, and they are playing there. She said it was so she could be more attentive to them," said Sophia with a wry smile.
Damian chuckled when he heard that. He thought Carol was a little late to start using a console for the babies.
"Then let's go see the little vampires," Jen said with a slight smile.
"They're really adorable. I guess they got that from their parents," said Sophia.
"Of course, no baby of mine would be ugly," Damian said proudly.
Sophia and Jen looked at him with disdain for his narcissism.
