Although Jaxon had never seen a musical before, he didn't think they were very interesting.

But when accompanying Mary Jane, he showed enough patience.

By the time the show ended, it was already late.

The two returned to the car, and Mary Jane was very happy, continuing to discuss the musical with Jaxon, "This musical was really good! What do you think, Jaxon?"

"Honestly, I don't have much feeling for musicals. I'm more looking forward to the day when you stand on that stage."

"I think you will definitely attract everyone's attention and become a star that everyone watches."

Mary Jane was very pleased to hear Jaxon's compliment. She put her arms around his neck and said, "Thank you, Jaxon. I've found that I've really fallen in love with you."

Jaxon was shocked. He originally wanted to pursue Gwen first, but now it seemed that Mary Jane was going to succeed.

"I love you too."

Mary Jane smiled brightly and then asked, "Jaxon, do you like me or Gwen now?"

When the choice came, Jaxon felt a bit confused about what to say.

'System, use the selection prompt card.' Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Jaxon decided to use his trump card.

[The results were as follows.]

[1. Choosing to deceive Mary Jane has a high probability of winning her heart. However, if she finds out that the host is intimate with other girls, she will choose to leave.]

[2. Choose to give up on Mary Jane. She will be disappointed and choose to leave.]

[3. Choose to be honest and frank; I want it all. Mary Jane will be wavering. If you can win her back, there will be hope for a harem.]

Looking at the prompts given by the system, there was no need to think about it at all.

Gwen, Mary Jane, Betty...I want them all!

"Gwen, I will be honest with you." Jaxon said wth a serious look, "I want to have both you and Gwen and in the future I might have many more women."

"I am just like this, a selfish man. I want every women that I like, I want them all!"

Mary Jane fell silent when she heard Jaxon's answer.

If Jaxon chose her, she would not plan to go back tonight.

However, he chose to have them all.

Such an answer was a little difficult for Mary Jane to accept at that moment.

"Thank you for your honesty, Jaxon."

"It's just that I find it a little hard to accept."

Jaxon continued to explain, "Mary, I do like you very much. If I lied to you, maybe I could get a lot, but I believe that's not what you want."

"I'm not like Tony Stark, a playboy. He just lives a carefree life and doesn't care about anything else."

"I really like you both, and I hope to spend my whole life with you."

Mary Jane was upset; her happiness from earlier had vanished, "I need some time to think about this. Right now, I want to go home."

"Let me take you back."

Mary Jane didn't refuse and sat in the passenger seat.

The joyful atmosphere disappeared, leaving only a silent Mary Jane.

Mary Jane felt very uncomfortable and kept thinking about this question in her heart.

'It would have been better if I had known, then I shouldn't have asked this question.'

'Now, what should I do?'

'Give up on Jaxon and let him be with Gwen?'

'Or should I accept Jaxon's suggestion?'

Mary Jane was in a very complicated mood. After spending a few days together, she realized that she had fallen for Jaxon.

If she hadn't been attracted to him, with her independent, strong, and cheerful personality, she wouldn't have felt so bad and could have just dumped him.

Jaxon knew that Mary Jane just needed a little time, so he didn't disturb her too much.

On the way, he played music, and Mary Jane stared at the scenery outside the car window in a daze.

It wasn't long before they arrived at Mary Jane's house, but she didn't react.

Jaxon didn't disturb her until she noticed that she was at home.

"I'm home. Thank you, Jaxon. It's been a great night, if it hadn't been for that last bit."

Seeing that Mary Jane was about to get out of the car, Jaxon got out first and waited for her.

"Mary Jane, I have something else to say to you."

Mary Jane was stunned, "I'm tired, maybe next time."

Jaxon took the initiative to grab Mary Jane's arm and held her close.

Mary Jane didn't resist much and allowed him to hold her.

"I know you need some time, and I will respect that."

"Thank you for appearing in my world and giving me comfort."

"I just want to say that I love you, and I will always love you."

Jaxon used a firm attitude and a gentle tone to leave his mark and end the date that night.

"Good night!"

"Good night."

Mary Jane returned to her house and saw her sister, Gail, looking at her with interest.

"Oh, Mary, I told Mom that you wouldn't be coming back tonight."

"In the end, you didn't seize this opportunity!"

Mary Jane hesitated and didn't reply, "I just think it shouldn't be too fast."

"I'm a little tired; I'm going back to my room first."

Gail wanted to say something, but Mary Jane had already ran back to her room and closed the door.

Gail observed Mary Jane's unusual behavior and felt that something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

When they had come back, they seemed very close.

They even stopped at the door for a long time; maybe they were doing something in the car.

Why did Mary Jane have this attitude when she got home?

"Could it be that they did in the car?"

"No, this time is a bit short."

"Maybe that's the reason. Jaxon isn't doing well, so Mary Jane is like this?"

---

"Aachi!"

"What's going on? Did Mary Jane miss me?"

Jaxon rubbed his nose and collected his thoughts.

The first date with Mary Jane was both a success and a failure.

However, Jaxon was not worried. As long as he could get Mary Jane to accept this situation, he could start a harem smoothly.

After returning home, Jaxon took a bath and had a comfortable sleep.

The next morning, he saw Tony dominating the news headlines.

-According to official news, Tony Stark has been rescued and is on his way back!

-After missing for nearly three months, Stark finally returns!

-Shocked, that man is coming back!

Jaxon was a little speechless after reading these messages, "You are worthy of it, Tony. You're almost like a top star. You're so popular."

"Once you announce the closure of the weapons department, the heat will surely increase."

Jaxon was also thinking; next, he must find a way to acquire shares in Stark Industries.

"I have $1.1 million now. Even if the stock price drops by 50%, I probably won't be able to buy many shares."

"So, the best way is to make money from Tony."

"Earn Tony's money, and then buy his company's stock. When I become a shareholder of the company, it means that Tony is working for me to make money."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this method makes capitalists feel like experts."

Jaxon was now waiting for Tony's return and the press conference.

On the other side, after a long journey, Tony finally returned to this country.

His driver, Happy, and assistant, Pepper Potts, were already waiting at the airport.

Seeing Tony appear in front of them, both were very excited.

Because Ethan had nowhere to go, he was brought back by Stark.

"Hi, boss."

Tony felt much better when he saw Pepper, who was so excited that she was about to cry.

"Your eyes are red? Are you happy that your long-missing boss has returned safely?"

Pepper was amused, "No, I just hate looking for a new job."

"Yeah, your vacation is now over."

Tony got into his luxury car smoothly, and the driver, Happy, immediately asked, "Where to, sir?"

Pepper commanded, "Drive to the hospital. I've already made an appointment with the doctor."

"OK."

Happy was about to drive when Tony stopped him, "No need to go to the hospital; I feel fine now."

Pepper wanted to continue arguing, "No, your condition looks bad. You have to..."

Tony interrupted Pepper, "I was locked up for three months. Now that I'm back, there are only two things I want to do right away."

"First, I want to eat a few burgers."

"The second thing is, I have a press conference to hold at Stark Tower."

Pepper was very worried about Stark's condition, "Boss, I think the press conference can be postponed. It would be better to hold it after we are sure that you are fine."

Tony was a little emotional, "I know my condition isn't good, but I'm not going to collapse. It's more important to hold the press conference now."

Pepper didn't argue further and could only agree with Tony's decision.

"Happy, drive!"

"Yes, boss."

Pepper did not object anymore and called Obadiah to inform him.

Because the official news of Tony's return was released, media reporters wanted to get first-hand information and had already gathered in Stark Tower, surrounding the place.

The media reporters in three layers inside and outside waited patiently until the car appeared in their sights.

Tony returns and holds a press conference. It was a breaking news.

There were a lot of media reporters sitting in the audience, and Tony announced a big news while eating a hamburger.

"I have decided to close the Stark Industries Weapons Department from today!"
