Looking at George and Jenny in front of him, Leo felt a little ashamed in his heart.

It seemed that he once again forgot to say hello to George and Jenny and disappeared without a trace, leaving them worried all day and night.

He seems to be very confident that he can solve the troublesome things within one day. He seems to be a little alienated from George and Jenny when he comes back from the universe. He seems... seems to be a little proud.

Looking at the two relatives in front of him with extremely expectant eyes, Leo lowered his head silently.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, this time..."

Before Leo could finish speaking, George strode forward, opened his arms, and hugged Leo gently.

By the way, little Peter in Leo's arms was caught in the middle.

"Leo, you should apologize to your Aunt Jenny. She has been worried all day because of your departure, but we will never blame you, because you are the person we love most."

George said in a deep voice, with a deep sense of care in his words.

George patted Leo on the back and let Leo go.

He hugged Peter over smoothly, his hands sank, and his tone seemed to become more relaxed.

"Hey, Peter, I haven't hugged you for a long time. You've gained a lot of weight. Uncle can't even hold you, oh ho ho."

Peter's face turned red, "No, I've grown a lot taller. I'm already twelve years old."

Then, he lay down next to George's ear and whispered, "Uncle George, brother Leo, what did he do wrong? He seems very sad."

"He didn't tell Aunt Jenny and I when he went out to play. Do you know that this would make the adults worried? This is wrong. So, if you go out to play in the future, you must tell Mei and don't let the adults worry about you."

George carried Peter and walked to the dining table.

"Yeah, I will definitely tell Mei when I go out to play in the future, but don't blame brother Leo, he already knows that he was wrong."

Peter looked back at Leo, who was a little dazed, and quickly said to George.

Jenny glanced at the children and hurriedly walked to the kitchen. Mei saw it and followed her to help.

Only Ned, who had just walked in, stood at the door a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Leo touched Ned's little head and said, "Let's go, just treat this as your own home. After dinner, you and Peter can go to my room and play the game console. I'll be up there later."

"Yeah, thank you, brother Leo." Fat Ned nodded his head and said.

"By the way, Ned, did you tell your parents when you came out?" Leo took two steps and asked suddenly.

Ned was also stunned by this incomprehensible question, "Yes, my mother said she would pick me up at nine o'clock in the evening."

"Well, that's good, that's good."

Leo murmured a few words softly and walked towards the room.

...

"Jenny, what's wrong with Leo? He seemed to be in a bad mood just now."

Mei asked while handling the ingredients.

"No, Leo has been out for more than a day and there is no news. I am a little worried about him. He may be thinking about this too. Let's cook quickly. It's almost six o'clock. The children are all hungry."

Jenny just didn't expect that George, who had never taken the initiative to express his emotions, would actually take the initiative to hug Leo.

Thinking about it, he must be very worried about Leo, and Leo might also feel a little guilty because of this incident.

However, Jenny would never have thought that George was actually far more worried about Leo's safety than he appeared on the surface.

The last time the father and son communicated, George knew that Leo showed more in front of the two of them, and was even more shocked by Leo's identity.

But the more you know, the more you understand the hardships and sufferings involved, and the more you understand what Leo is facing.

Leo's sudden disappearance certainly caught George off guard, and he naturally felt a huge fear in his heart, which was even higher than the months after Leo disappeared.

'Why didn't Leo come home?'

'Why can't I even get through on the phone? Where has he gone?'

'He was so powerful and could teleport home. Why did he disappear without even saying hello? What happened?'

George remembered what Leo had said to him last time, 'The universe is so big, there are countless strange races and civilizations, and among them, there are many plunderers. The Chitauri last time were just one of the subordinates of the overlord of the universe.

It's just a team.'

'Could it be that some evil aliens invaded again, and Leo rushed to the battlefield without even having time to say hello to us? The situation must be very serious.'

‘He’s so strong, nothing will happen to him! It won’t happen!!’

On the surface, George was comforting Jenny's worries, but he was not using this to express his worries, depression, and even the slightest fear.

'What will we do if Leo never comes back?'

But George would not show it, especially in front of Jenny. She was already worried. If he behaved badly, it would only add fuel to the fire. Adding more fuel to the fire would not help.

As a man, even if there is a heavy burden in his heart, he must carry it and then show a relaxed look in front of his family.

But inside, I was already full of worries and anxieties.

And the moment I saw Leo, all the hidden emotions in my heart burst out, and this was the scene of entering the door.

After hearing Jenny's words, Mei also nodded, "Leo is a pretty good kid. Don't blame him too much. Maybe there really is something important."

But Mei then thought of what happened last time and quickly continued, "But I'd like to remind you that what happened last time was a bit too much."

The smile on Jenny's face has not been seen since Leo came back, "I know, he must have something important this time."

He looked back at Mei and said, "Actually, Leo is usually very well-behaved and very hardworking. The two of us are trying to understand him."

Jenny then saw the mutilated potato in Mei's hand, "Mei, you'd better go out and play with the child first, I can handle it by myself."

Mei also shook off the potato skins on her hands in embarrassment and smiled helplessly.

...

Leo was sitting in his room, with the setting sun outside the window shining in, casting a red light.

Looking at the photos on the table and on the wall, I couldn't help but recall the past.

Looking at the familiar small room around me, the various furnishings and facilities in the room were all chosen by me. There are still some of my favorite styles from before, but now, I feel a little strange.

Gently rubbing the edge of the bed, the edge of the table, the workbench, the locker, the small metal warehouse, and my own energy supply box, each item is full of memories.

As a child at that time, after adapting to life with George and Jenny, I also began to enjoy this time of being loved by others.

But in the end, I discovered that the strangest person in the whole room was actually me.

Peter poked his head in, "Brother Leo, do you want to watch TV?"
