After returning home from Edward's place, Jaffa sat quietly on the sofa in the living room. He was still a little depressed. After all, they had lived together for so many years, and Jaffa and Kate's relationship was deeply rooted. At this moment, when he thought that he might not be able to see Kate for more than ten years or even decades, it was understandable that Jaffa would be unhappy.
At this moment, Charles walked in from outside the door. Seeing Jaffa's expression, Charles did not say anything and went straight to Jaffa's side to sit down.
"Charles, did you know about this long ago?" Jaffa asked softly.”
Shaking his head gently, Charles whispered,""I have never investigated the thoughts of my relatives. This matter was told to me by Mother Caite herself. She asked me to keep it a secret from you. Dad, I'm sorry.”In the past, Jaffa was Charles 'godfather, which was more like an official relationship. Two years ago, Jaffa officially accepted Charles as his godson, and Charles also changed his address to Jaffa's father and Kate as Kate's mother.
Hearing Charles 'words, Jaffa smiled and said softly,""It's okay. I don't blame you."
Hearing Jaffa's words, Charles heaved a sigh of relief. Then, a trace of excitement appeared on his face. He said loudly," Oh right, Dad, I want to show you something!”As he spoke, Charles took out something from his pocket and handed it to Jay.
" An admission letter from the University of Oxford?" Seeing the things that Charles handed over, Jaffa's expression changed slightly and he said," You're only sixteen, right? You've already been admitted to the University of Oxford.”
Hearing Jaffa's praise, Charles 'face showed a hint of excitement. He said happily,""Actually, it's nothing. After all, my brain development is much higher than the average person's. It was normal for him to have an easier time learning.”
Nodding his head slightly, Jaffa said softly,""How long until enrollment?"
"Three months!"
"Three months!" Jaffa lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying softly,"Go home and tell your parents. To celebrate, I'll take you on a trip.”
"It's true!" Hearing Jaffa's words, Charles 'eyes lit up and he said in surprise.
"Of course!" Jaffa smiled and said indifferently.
A week later, Jaffa took Charles to tour around the world, including Canada, Brazil, France... Jaffa wanted to go back to China several times, but when it was time to make a decision, he gave up. Jaffa didn't know why, maybe it was because he was homesick. Perhaps it was because of Jaffa's current identity.
In short, after traveling around the world with Charles for more than two months, Jaffa still did not go to China.
After another month, Charles finally went to England to study. For a moment, Jaffa suddenly felt at a loss. Jaffa had retired from the army for many years. Although he was a shareholder of Stark Industries, he would not participate. Right now, only Edward and Nick Fury had a good relationship with Jaffa. Despite the fact that the two of them were preparing to form S.H.I.E.L.D., Jaffa did not want to interfere with them.
Helpless, Jaffa could only continue to live such a boring life. Three years later, Charles graduated from the University of Oxford in advance and returned to the United States to study at New York University.
This made Jaffa a little happy. Not to mention that Charles could accompany him occasionally, the most important thing was that Jaffa knew that the year Dr. Charles graduated, it was the X-Men: It was time for the first battle to begin.
Seven years passed slowly, and just as Jaffa was about to go crazy from boredom…
Charles finally graduated with his Ph.D. After that, Charles stayed at New York University as a professor. At the same time, he also conducted some genetic research, and Jaffa naturally paid for the research.
On this day, Charles was reading in Jaffa's study. After several years of limited time, Jaffa had developed some unique hobbies, including collecting some books. The Jaffa family had a very rich collection of books. Charles often came to borrow books, but he treated the Jaffa family as a library.
Standing outside the study, Jaffa gently knocked on the door and walked in.
"Daddy." Seeing Jaffa's figure, Charles whispered," You're here!”
Jaffa nodded gently and walked slowly to the desk. Neither of them spoke. Charles was reading quietly while Jaffa's eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about something.
Not long after, Charles seemed to have finished reading a part of it. He gently added a bookmark to the page. Charles looked up slightly and stared straight at Jaffa."What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Jaffa nodded and said in a low voice,""You know about the missile launch base built by the Soviet Union in cuba, right?”
Hearing Jaffa's words, Charles 'face became serious. He nodded and said,""I know. It's said that we're in a very bad situation with the Soviet Union. We could go to war at any time.”
"That's right!" Jaffa said softly," The Soviet Union and the United States are both military powers. Once war breaks out, nuclear weapons will inevitably be used. We don't want the two sides to fight, but there are some people who are looking forward to it!”
" How is this possible?!" Hearing Jaffa's words, Charles was stunned and could not help but ask in surprise,""Once nuclear weapons are used, the entire Earth might not be able to survive. How can anyone expect this?”
Shaking his head, Jaffa sighed and said helplessly,""You don't know. This world is much more complicated.”Jaffa paused for a moment before continuing,"You studied in England for four years. Do you know about the Hellfire Club?”
