Jordan thought for a moment and suddenly recalled the time when he lived with Lauren and Chloe in the capital. When he watched Marvel movies with Chloe, she would always ask him if he knew Iron Man.

At the time, Jordan had lied to her and said that of course he knew him. He even said that he and Iron Man were good friends and often drank and fought monsters together in New York.

Chloe smiled happily every time she heard that.

Jordan said, “Your father is Iron Man…”

The little girl’s mouth dropped open in shock. “Huh?”

Jordan took a deep breath and continued. “Your father is Iron Man’s friend.”

Chloe was very excited. “Really? My father is friends with Iron Man? What kind of hero is he? Where is he now?”

Jordan thought for a moment and replied, “Your father is very busy. He has to protect Earth and maintain world peace. He’s gone to kill Thanos in space now.”

“Isn’t Thanos already dead?” Chloe asked.

“The Avengers 4” was released last year and Chloe had already watched it.

Jordan didn’t want to waste energy finding an excuse to deceive a three-year-old girl.

“Don’t bother about such details, child. Iron Man, Thanos and the rest are not dead. Listen, I can get your Uncle Iron Man to visit you. Do you want to see him?”

“Yes!” Chloe replied excitedly.

Jordan said, “Alright, tomorrow night, call those friends who keep saying that you don’t have a daddy. Only children below the age of five. Ask them to come here. I’ll get Iron Man to come and visit you tomorrow.”

“Really? You’re not lying to me, are you, little bee?” Chloe was amazed.

“Bees never lie,” Jordan said solemnly.

At this moment, Jordan noticed that Lauren was about to return from the washroom. He hurriedly said, “I’m leaving. Remember not to tell your mommy about this. Otherwise, Thanos’s subordinates will come looking for trouble with her!”

Chloe was so shocked that she hurriedly closed the window and waved goodbye to the bee. Then she climbed from the sofa and ran excitedly to Lauren.

Lauren was very happy to see that Chloe was no longer crying. She crouched down and hugged her daughter.

“Chloe, I’m sorry. I didn’t take good care of you. In the future, I won’t let you play with these unfamiliar children anymore. I won’t let anyone have the chance to hurt you again.”

But Chloe said, “No, Grandpa said that if you encounter a problem, you have to face it bravely. You can’t run away! Mommy, I want to ask them to come here and play with me tomorrow night.”

Lauren was stunned. “You… don’t hate them? They said all those things about you…”

Chloe shook her head. “I want to play with them. Let them come here again.”

Lauren touched Chloe’s head and nodded.

However, she was feeling very conflicted.

‘Grandpa said that Chloe has a spirit in her bones that refuses to admit defeat. She couldn’t possibly have gotten it from me. I’m not that strong. Chloe is so strong and brave. She must have inherited it from Jordan…’

Lauren felt very emotional when she thought of Jordan.

This man who had only spent one night with her but made her dream of him for three years. She was very eager to see whether she would have the chance to see him again in the future, and develop with him…

She wasn’t sure if she would like him, but she couldn’t help wanting to see him again.

…

The next night, Faye was invited to the cafe with her two children.

After being stung yesterday, Faye specially brought the two children to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that they had not been stung by bees at all. There were no wounds on their bodies.

Therefore, Faye and the two children were willing to come again.

Chloe took the initiative to walk forward and welcome the boy and girl. “Let’s go play on the lawn outside.”

Seeing this, Lauren was afraid that Chloe would be bullied again. She hurriedly said, “No, it’s already nighttime. Play in the shop.”

But Chloe insisted on going out. “No, we want to go out and play.”

When Faye saw this, she smiled and said, “We’re in the suburbs after all. There aren’t even any cars outside at this time. It’s alright. Don’t worry, I’ve already instructed my son and daughter not to spout nonsense.”

Chloe quickly pulled them to the lawn where they had played yesterday afternoon.

The boy was very smart and could tell that Chloe had brought them here for a purpose. The boy asked, “Why did you bring us out? Are you going to let the bees sting us again? Yesterday, Mom brought us to the hospital. The doctor said that we weren’t stung by bees. So you must have done something!”

Chloe quickly denied it. “I didn’t do anything. I had nothing to do with it!”

The girl also pointed at Chloe. “It’s you! Mommy said that you don’t have a daddy, that’s why you used fake bees to sting us. Hmph, if you continue like this, we won’t play with you anymore!”

Chloe lost her temper. “I didn’t want to play with you guys in the first place!”

The girl held her brother’s hand. “Brother, let’s go. We’re not playing with her anymore. She doesn’t even have a daddy. I heard from our kindergarten classmates that such children are abnormal!”

The boy nodded as well. “Yes, Chloe, you’d better not let the bees sting me and my sister again. I’m already in the first grade!”

With that, the two of them were about to leave.

“Stop!” Chloe shouted. “Who said I don’t have a father! I have a father. My father is a superhero and a friend of Iron Man!”

The boy said, “You’re lying!”

The girl added. “There’s no way your father is Iron Man’s friend!”

Chloe said, “Just you wait. I have a date with Uncle Iron Man. He’ll be here to visit me soon!”

The boy and girl grew very serious. They all liked Iron Man very much.

“Alright, we don’t believe that Iron Man will really come!”

Iron Man was a superhero in Marvel Comics. After being portrayed by Robert Downey in 2008, he became a global sensation. He was the favorite superhero of countless youths across the world.

In the movie, Iron Man had a set of armor. This armor could fly in the sky and land on the ground. It also had weapons and other devices. It could be used to attack enemies with laser cannons.

The technology portrayed in the movie was not something that could be achieved with current technological levels. However, going by the standards of the eight great families, it would be easy for them to develop such a set of Iron Man armor!

Jordan asked Chloe to invite these two little troublemakers here tonight as he planned to appear in the Iron Man armor!

No one would believe the words of a child who was not even five years old.

Jordan didn’t mind letting these children experience the technological prowess of the eight great families!

After waiting for a few minutes, things remained silent. There was barely any traffic, much less any Iron Man.

The boy pointed at Chloe. “You’re lying! The teacher said that students who lie are not good children. You’re not a good girl! I won’t play with you anymore!”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the sky.

A person in red armor suddenly flew down from the sky. This person was dressed exactly like the Iron Man in the movies!

“Ah! It’s Iron Man!”

The boy and girl were both stunned!
