Chapter 753 What Do You Think, Father

"What do you mean by that?" Tony looked at Li Jie and Rogers very unhappy. The two shook their heads for a moment, meeting Tony's gaze.

Li Jie said in a low voice: "Isn't it really an oolong? Last time you said that Pei Bo was pregnant, but in the end it was false news. Now it's really confirmed?"

Tony curled his lips: "It was an accident last time. Sometimes the pregnancy test paper was inaccurate. This time I specially made a machine to do a full-body examination on Pepper, and it was confirmed that she has no problems, indeed. I'm pregnant with a child. This way, my wedding with her will be brought forward a little earlier. I won't send out invitations, so you can come here directly when the time comes."

Tony had actually received a marriage certificate with Pepper, but the wedding ceremony had not yet been held. Because compared to going to a civil affairs agency to do a simple thing like a certificate. Planning a wedding is much more complicated. Especially with Tony trying to get a wedding big enough to be worthy of Pepper. Then there are a lot of resources that need to be used before and after.

The wedding should be luxurious enough and grand enough. But at the same time to meet the low-key requirements. Because thinking with the big toe knows how much attention Tony's wedding will attract. Especially the news paparazzi, who are like vultures smelling rotting meat.

Tony is very high-profile in many things, but that doesn't mean he likes his private life being interfered with. Especially when it comes to such extremely personal matters as marriage and family. Moreover, Pei Bo didn't want her wedding to be followed and interviewed by irrelevant people, that would be too boring, and even cause conflicts. Don't overestimate the moral quality of the paparazzi, they will do anything for news.

So Tony is about to buy an island near New Zealand, where the wedding will be held. The small island before was just a remote deserted island, and no one lived there. So Tony still needs to invest a sum of money to transform the entire island into a habitable place, so that the wedding can be held on it.

At that time, his steel armor and Jarvis intelligence will monitor the entire island to ensure that no unrelated people can go to the island. And this is his wedding project. Now that Pei Bo is pregnant, if her stomach is beating every day, the custom-made wedding dress can no longer be worn.

So the wedding is either brought forward or pushed back all the way. Wait until Piper is produced. Tony has now started to speed up the transformation of the island, and strives to complete it before Christmas.

Li Jie smiled and said, "Then congratulations."

"Thank you." Tony lifted the drink bottle and responded to Li Jie as if it were a wine glass. Starting a new family was a new experience for Tony, filled with fear and anticipation. This feeling is very complicated, and it is no longer a simple combination of a man and a woman.

But a new member of the family, although the child has not yet been born. But when it was confirmed that Pepper was pregnant, Tony suddenly felt that his life had been extended. A strange feeling, although he didn't really see the baby still conceived in Pepper's body, but Tony suddenly had a feeling that he was willing to do anything for this unborn child.

Of course, Li Jie and Rogers were not surprised that Pepper was pregnant. The only strange thing about them is that since Tony lost his parents at the age of sixteen or seventeen, his life has become dissolute.

For so many years, there has never been any news of an illegitimate child. Is there really no girl who wants to tie Tony with a child? Well, to put it bluntly, even Tony couldn't be tied. Just for the sky-high annual maintenance fees in the future, there will still be many women who want to conceive Tony's child. Some people will do anything for money.

And this is what makes Li Jie and Rogers strange. Rogers really wants to ask Tony: Didn't you have a vasectomy?

But at this happy moment, Rogers could only smile with his lips pursed. Although the captain is a straightforward boy, it doesn't mean he is a fool, okay?

Tony took a sip of his drink and didn't care about the eyes of the two, his thoughts were all transferred to another place.

Li Jie opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he could only open a bottle of drink and gulp himself down. [Let me have a bottle of 82-year-old Sprite to shock me] This is Li Jie's only thought.

Bang~ The wine glass was gently put down, and Father Edward sat in the confessional quietly reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude". He enjoyed the quiet moments, Edward was an old priest. He is over seventy years old, but he has never been promoted. The post has been that of a lay priest at a community church in Queens, New York.

But Father Edward enjoys this kind of life very much, and he doesn't care about the power in religion. He is a devout believer, but he rarely takes the initiative to preach. Because Father Edward believes that it is a person's choice to believe or not to believe. God should not interfere with man's free will.

Free will is precious and should be protected. It is precisely because of this point of view that Father Edward was still an ordinary priest in a community church when he was seventy years old.

However, he is very popular in the community, because modern life is more and more stressful, and urbanites, especially "urbanites" in megacities like New York, have more or less mental illnesses.

Or temporary depression, or hyperactivity, or mental exhaustion. This is a very normal phenomenon, and many developed countries, including the United States, take this kind of mental illness or psychological depression very seriously.

Therefore, clinics of psychiatrists are normal medical services like dental clinics in the United States. Everyone goes to see a psychiatrist and goes to a dentist without any psychological pressure. Of course, just as most Americans don't necessarily have the money to go to the dentist, many Americans don't have the money to go to the psychiatrist.

After all, the hourly rate of a psychiatrist is really not low. In this case, the confessional of Father Edward became a good choice.

Father Edward never asked people who came to confess whether they believed in religion or their identity, and even the design of the confession room made him unable to see what the other person looked like. In the confessional room, he has always just listened and occasionally struck up a conversation. Let those who come to confess or pray receive psychological treatment.

Because Father Edward felt that when a person is extremely healthy psychologically, then this person will not commit crimes. As long as you don't sin, then it is the greatest forgiveness in this world. This is also my greatest achievement as a priest, which is more important than promoting a hundred people to believe in religion.

Leading one who might go astray might save a hundred innocent lives. For someone like Father Edward, some people have resolved many possible shootings or other crimes through his enlightenment. Perhaps his achievements will never be praised or understood in his life.

But in this world, there are always people like him, who use humble power with ordinary people's bodies, but practice the most noble cause in the world.

This group of people is cleaning the symbol of the human species, and they are working hard to clean the symbol of [humanity]. Even in the era of materialistic desires, they still want to retain the brilliance of humanity.

There are many people who have broken the dirt on humanity, but there are also many people who have cleaned up the stains on humanity so that it can continue to shine. There are doctors, soldiers, teachers, and all kinds of ordinary people.

Of course, there are people like Father Edward. They are doing the same thing in different forms, maybe they don't even realize it. Instead of placing a noble cause at a very high level, treating it as a meaningful and ordinary job may be the main reason why these people can persist for decades.

Father Edward liked to have a sip in the confessional of his own wine. However, because the craftsmanship is not particularly good, the wine produced is not as good as the wine in the store that costs tens of dollars or hundreds of dollars a bottle.

The home-brewed wine tastes slightly sour in the mouth and only has a little sweet taste in the aftertaste. Father Edward liked this taste very much, he called it [the taste of life].

The confessional room was filled with the faint aroma of wine, and the one hundred and second page of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in the hands of Father Edward had already been read. Just as he was about to turn the page after finishing the page, Father Edward heard someone come in from the confessional compartment.

Teng Deng glaring ~ slightly heavy steps. Father Edward could tell from the pace that its owner was full of thoughts.

"Father, do you think the peace in this world is real or hypocritical?" The English with a slight Middle Eastern accent was very calm and forceful: "Do you think our world is moving too fast?"
