Chapter 70 The White Whale 09
Tony took Alice to a restaurant in downtown New York.
This restaurant is basically closed to the public. Every meal needs to be reserved in advance so that the kitchen can prepare the ingredients for cooking, so the privacy is quite trustworthy.
At this time, Alice, whose hair was untied due to sleeping, was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window. Her dark brown soft curly hair fell on her snow-white shoulders. Tony Stark.
"I have to say, you are really the most incredible psychotherapist, little Alice." Tony leaned back on the soft chair, took a sip of champagne, and looked at her with a little wonder in his eyes.
After a period of deep sleep, his body and mind were relaxed like never before, and he seemed to be much more energetic at the moment, his eyes lit up.
Alice grinned when she heard Tony's praise. Her smile was like a spring breeze blowing through the woodland, and flowers bloomed all over the ground in an instant: "Psychotherapist? This was one of my dream professions when I was a child."
"When you were young, don't you think you were young now?" Tony looked at the young girl who showed a little naivety, "Besides, it's not too late to realize this dream."
"Hmm, I have too many dreams." Alice blinked, "I have already realized one today, and I will realize the next one another day."
Tony originally wanted to ask which dream was realized today, but seeing Alice's bright eyes that seemed to sprinkle a handful of starlight and the concentration, longing and yearning in those eyes, his question stuck in his throat.
He realized that the dream Alice was referring to was to meet Tony Stark himself.
...How can this little girl be so good at talking!
He was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his mouth, and continued: "After this afternoon, I can confirm that your voice is very effective for my symptoms—it can even be said to be a special medicine, which is very satisfying. I'm pleasantly surprised."
Alice smiled even more happily: "I can sing to you every day, if you don't think I'm annoying!"
Sing every day?
Tony's heart skipped a beat.
Alice's voice was marvelous, he had to admit.
Her voice seemed to contain some kind of magical power, which could completely relax people from the bottom of their hearts, relax their souls, and plunge the spiritual world into a sleep-like silence.This feeling only needs to be experienced once, and it will be like an addiction.
What's more, he is still in a special period of anxiety attacks.
This anxiety symptom will not only affect his life, but even his work, research and development of new technologies, and more seriously, it will also affect his fighting state.
If Alice is the special medicine, perhaps it is not impossible to consider hiring her to sing to him every day.
But the problem is that sleeping itself is a very private thing, and Alice is a public figure.
He himself doesn't care, anyway, his reputation as a vagabond has long been ruined, and no matter how bad his reputation is in this regard, it will not affect the stock price of Stark Industries, let alone his life.
Lovely Alice was different.
Tony thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Have you been living in a hotel before?"
Alice nodded: "Because I don't have a place to live in New York for the time being. Really, the housing prices here are expensive, the places are crowded, and the newly-built villa area has been booked a long time ago... It's hard to get one. The house is only in pre-sale status, it is a dusty house that cannot be lived in."
She pouted, with an unhappy expression on her face again: "I can only live in the hotel every day."
The little girl was muttering and complaining, but it didn't sound annoying at all.
"However, I spend most of my time in the studio assigned to me by the company. After all, I also have to work." She said seriously.
"There doesn't seem to be much personal information about you on the Internet." Tony said, he had checked the information about Alice before he came, "There is not much in your company's intranet."
Regarding Alice's past, there is almost nothing that can be found on the Internet.
It was as if she suddenly appeared in New York, suddenly signed up for a singer audition, and became popular all over the United States overnight.
"Because I used to grow up in a very remote place." Alice said, "The information there is not very developed, unlike outside, hum..." She frowned dissatisfiedly, "There are people with cameras everywhere." You can't stop paparazzi who are taking photos indiscriminately."
Tony didn't question that.
After all, even in this modern country, the development of the east and the west is extremely unbalanced, and many remote areas in the west even retain the lifestyle of the last century.
It's like being abandoned by modern society.
"What about your family?" Tony asked.
"..." Alice was silent for a while, blinked her eyes, "I don't know, maybe he has passed away."
Tony: …
So, an orphan?
An orphan, but also a girl with such a beautiful appearance, it is hard to imagine that she has grown to such a size safely, and even climbed to such a high position.Maybe there are people behind her helping her?
"So have you been alone?" Tony continued.
"Of course not." Alice's eyes sparkled. "I have some good friends, but they are not in New York. They are amazing."
Very powerful friend... This seems to be able to explain it.
Tony raised his eyebrows: "A great friend?"
Alice's crystal clear blue eyes rolled in their sockets, showing a clever look: "Of course, they are far less powerful than the Avengers!"
Tony laughed at the obvious sycophancy, but didn't take it too seriously.
"Then, little Alice, where do you usually go to school?" He then asked a very deadly question, "At your current age, you should be in high school?"
Alice: …………
She blinked again, and changed the subject very quickly and decisively: "Oh, this sea cucumber with caviar tastes really good!"
"..." Tony saw through the little girl's clumsy technique of changing the subject, "Then let me ask this question in another way, Alice, will you go to school?"
Alice: ……………
She curled her lips and said in a low voice, "What's the use of learning those..."
She is a singer, as long as she can sing, isn't it all right?
Tony stretched out his hand helplessly and squeezed the space between his brows, feeling his head buzzing.
After a long while, he put down his hand and looked at Alice. He found that the latter was looking at him carefully at the moment, as if he was afraid that he would get angry, and there was even a little subtle fear in those bright eyes, as if A frightened fawn.
Tony's heart was almost melted by those eyes, and he quickly put aside the matter of going to school, and coaxed: "Then let's not talk about this question for now, I actually want to say..."
He paused, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something: "If you have no place to live, maybe you can move to my place..."
Alice paused slightly with the hand holding the fork.
She raised her star-like eyes to look at Tony, those eyes were full of astonishment and surprise at this moment, even a little at a loss: "I, can I?"
Tony looked at the light of surprise in the little girl's eyes, and the doubts in his heart were subconsciously dispelled.He nodded: "Of course, I've been living in the Avengers headquarters recently. It's very big, and there's usually not many people there."
In other words, he was almost the only one there at ordinary times.
The other Avengers are either wives and children, or they run around the world, or they are busy with their own work and tasks, or they are busy with school exams, and some are even busy with governing their own country. will stay somewhere.
This makes the large building, which was originally magnificent, full of modernist conciseness and high-end style, feel cold and empty.
He walked in the hall of the laboratory every day, and all he could hear was the echoing footsteps.
The psychiatrist he had seen had also told him that maybe this would aggravate his anxiety symptoms.
If Alice could move there...
He looked at the clever, lively and beautiful girl in front of him, and imagined her appearing in the mechanical building wrapped in modern glass, fair-faced concrete and metal exterior walls. It must be a sight.
It's like the only touch of color in a black and white photo.
The most important thing is of course his anxiety symptoms. If there is Alice by his side as a pendant, these problems will naturally be solved.
"I... I, I, I, I..." Alice seemed to be so surprised that she couldn't speak fluently, she stammered, "Can I, it's not only the Avengers who can... I, I'm not qualified Bar?"
"In fact, there are a lot of staff there to ensure the normal operation of the entire building and internal facilities, and there will be a dedicated area for them," Tony said.
"But... I don't know how to make any facilities." Alice curled her lips.
Continuously admitting that she was not good at something seemed to make her particularly frustrated and unhappy, and her eyes began to mist.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute—I didn't mean that. What I said just now was a rebuttal to your last sentence. It didn't mean that you were going to be a maintenance worker!" Tony explained quickly, he really couldn't see the little girl showing her face. Unhappy expression, "Actually, it's true to say that... You are here to be my personal maintenance staff."
Alice looked at him with some doubts: "Personal maintenance personnel?"
"Take charge of singing for me, so that I can maintain my mental health." Tony shrugged, "After all, your singing voice is amazing magic, little Alice."
A smile finally appeared on Alice's face, and the moisture in her eyes disappeared instantly: "Really?"
"But if you do this, there will be some incidental problems..." Tony frowned and thought.
"I am willing!" Alice ignored his doubts directly, staring at him with sparkling eyes, and said impatiently, "I am willing, Mr. Stark! There is no problem at all!"
Looking at her face that couldn't restrain the joy and happiness, Tony couldn't help but smiled helplessly.
Ah, he really couldn't refuse this child more and more.
"Little Alice, don't you consider the possible adverse consequences?" Tony asked.
If the media finds out, those guys will swarm up like hyenas that smell blood.
Alice blinked: "What bad consequences can there be?"
She paused, as if she was thinking hard about something, and then said: "It doesn't matter what the consequences are, I don't care what those boring people will say!"
A willful and rebellious look appeared on her face, and at that moment there was some kind of fearless courage and arrogance that stood on the opposite side of the world.
Tony's eyes slowly lit up.
At that moment just now, he almost saw a little shadow of him in the child Alice Milia.
Perhaps this child is really like him in some special ways, and it is because of this that he finds her so uniquely charming, attractive and friendly.
He put down his wine glass, a flash of inspiration flashed in his slightly drunk head, and he suddenly thought of a solution that could solve all possible public controversy.
He blurted out: "Alice, since that's the case—do you want to go through the adoption procedures with me?"
