"Later, it was our third meeting, when I was the president of the Demon Group.
Lorna was dressed beautifully at that time, and my first thought was that Lorna had also reached the age of appreciating beauty.
I originally wanted to chat with Lorna and understand her recent life, but Lorna just gave me a cold glance and said, 'Boss, I'm very busy right now,' and then walked away without looking back.
At that time, I wanted to hang Tony up and beat him. Does she like me like that?"
Richard said this with a faint smile on his face.
Lorna, beside him, also recalled the scene at that time. It was the first time Richard had approached her to talk, and she was very nervous, not knowing how to respond, so she could only choose to flee the scene in a hurry.
Jenna also slowly relaxed, not disturbing the two men's conversation.
"For the next period, Lorna dressed beautifully every day. At that time, what I thought about every day when I went to work was what style Lorna would try today.
However, Lorna was also very busy, unlike me, a company slacker, so our communication was very little."
"The real turning point was when I went to find Tony."
Richard paused slightly, a different kind of light shining in his eyes.
"I took her flying in the sky and noticed that her clothes were very simple. I thought she was short on money, so I wanted to give her a raise.
Who knew she misunderstood that I disliked her and insisted that I put her down halfway.
There was nothing I could do, so I had to use some unconventional methods to get her to speak her mind. It was also during that time that Lorna's ability awakened."
Richard looked directly into Eric's eyes and said seriously.
"I actually don't know how much affection I have for Lorna, but I love her. She is one of the people I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect.
With this answer, can you rest assured and entrust her to me, Uncle?"
Eric's pupils trembled, and his eyes returned to their usual respect.
"Actually, I had no right to manage these things. I wasn't there when Lorna was born, I wasn't there when she wanted a father as a child, and I wasn't there on her birthdays.
I'm a scumbag, but I'm also her father, so Richard, don't ever make Lorna cry in the future."
"Yes, I promise you."
Richard said seriously.
Then Eric sat down again, continuing the dinner, and Charles, beside him, also breathed a sigh of relief.
He had sealed many of Eric's memories about Richard this time, which allowed him to question Richard like this; otherwise, with Richard's kindness to Eric, he would have kept these things to himself for a lifetime.
After dinner ended.
Richard and Lorna also planned to leave, but before going, Lorna came to Eric and gently hugged him.
"Dad, thank you."
"...As long as you're not angry with me."
Eric's body stiffened slightly, then he hugged her back tightly.
"However, I will not give up the title of Magneto."
Lorna said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with determination.
"Then you'll have to work hard."
Eric smiled as he watched the two leave.
Sitting in the car, in the darkness, Lorna's ears were burning red.
She secretly glanced at Richard, who was driving, and his words kept echoing in her mind:'She is one of the people I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect!'
In this world, what could be more joyful than the person you love also loving you back?
Lorna knew in her heart that monopolizing Richard was impossible; she was already a latecomer, and given Richard's identity and experiences, it was destined that she would not be the only one by his side.
But at this moment, she was already content, only wanting to cherish this hard-won happiness.
Where would they go next? A hotel, or a Villa? If possible, for the first time, she wanted to return to her small room, where she had long prepared props.
Venom, Pamela, and others not coming also indicated their intentions, and Lorna didn't want to waste this opportunity.
"Lorna, we're here."
Lorna heard Richard's call, came back to her senses, and through the car window, saw a Villa with lights on inside.
"What is this place?"
"A gift I prepared for you."
Richard smiled slightly and took out a fruit basket he had prepared long ago.
"A gift?"
Lorna was slightly stunned, was it this Villa?
Richard pressed the doorbell and stepped aside.
The door opened, and a black-haired woman appeared, bearing a five-point resemblance to Lorna.
"Lorna?"
The woman saw Lorna, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Although she had seen photos before, seeing her in person still made her feel somewhat dazed.
"Mom, Mom…"
Lorna's voice was a little dry, and tears blurred her vision.
"Mom is here."
Magda reached out and gently stroked Lorna's face, tenderly wiping away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes.
Lorna could no longer suppress her emotions and threw herself into her mother's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. All the years of longing, grievances, and desires transformed into surging tears at this moment.
(In the original novel, Lorna was abandoned due to her Mutant identity and then disappeared. I changed it to her dying in a plane crash.)
Richard stood to the side, watching this warm and moving scene, and placed the fruit basket down.
Lorna slightly composed herself, then turned and grabbed Richard's face, kissing him passionately.
The kiss was fervent and excited.
Magda's eyes widened, not expecting her daughter to be so bold, directly kissing him passionately in front of her, her mother.
Lorna finally let go after several minutes of kissing, her lips swollen and feeling a little hot.
"Richard, this is the best gift I've ever received, I love you!"
"I love you too, Lorna."
The two confessed their love to each other under Magda's witness.
The two followed Magda into the room, where Magda had already cooked a table full of dishes.
"These are all your favorite dishes from when you were little. I just don't know if you still like the taste now."
Magda said.
"I like them, I've always liked them."
Lorna had already eaten, but she still had a great appetite and ate some of everything.
"Richard, do you have any iced wine?"
Richard nodded and took out some beer, placing it on the table.
"Mom, let's drink."
Lorna casually opened a can and guzzled down half a bottle directly from the opening.
This was her truest nature, straightforward and uninhibited.
"Lorna, drink slowly."
Magda was a little worried, knowing that Lorna must have had a hard time alone all these years.
"Okay, Mom."
Lorna obediently picked up a wine glass from the side and slowly sipped it.
Her eyes occasionally looked at Richard opposite her, and feeling a little hot, she unbuttoned a few buttons of her shirt, revealing a deep scar. (You know what I mean)
Richard was directly facing this scar, without the slightest avoidance. What couldn't he see of his own woman? He was just a little emotional.
A little over a year ago, she was still flat; to have this size in a year is truly a natural talent.
