Chapter 210

The next day.

Which was June 12, 2013.

This day was a Wednesday.

It was also the day of the Midtown High School twelfth-grade graduation ceremony.

At this moment, on the school lawn near the East River, many students and parents had already arrived.

Taking advantage of the fact that the ceremony hadn't started yet, the parents were almost all pulling their children to take photos as keepsakes.

Hawk and Gwen were no exception.

The two were currently wearing bachelor's gowns and caps, and under Helen Stacy's direction, they were striking various poses to make Helen happy.

Hawk and Gwen stood under a tree, hand in hand, looking at each other.

Gwen gave an apologetic smile.

"Sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"My mom is too enthusiastic."

"I think it's quite nice."

Hawk smiled, his peripheral vision glancing at Helen, who was not far away looking for an angle to take photos.

Helen looked seriously at the two in the lens, then seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she looked up toward Hawk.

"Hawk."

"Yes."

"When I count to three, you kiss her."

"Okay."

Hawk followed suit, looking at his smiling girlfriend in front of him, and when Helen counted to three, he didn't hesitate and kissed her directly.

Gwen also leaned in to meet him.

Click, click, click!

Helen transformed into a professional photographer, pressing the shutter continuously, recording this moment that symbolized beauty.

After a while.

Helen, sitting in the audience chair, flipped through the photos she had just snapped on the camera, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Fortunately, George had a case today and couldn't come.

Otherwise...

George's expression definitely wouldn't look very good.

Gwen, sitting in the front row, turned her head to look at her mother Helen, who was still admiring the photos, her mouth twitched, and she whispered to Hawk beside her: "Don't come up to my house tonight."

Hawk was slightly stunned.

"Why?"

"I'm afraid if my dad sees these photos, he'll pull out his gun and blow you away."

"..."

Hawk blinked his eyes, also turned his head to glance at Helen, who was still obsessed with the photos she had taken, and thinking about the various photos they had just made under Helen's direction that would make the daughter-slave George break down if he saw them, he thought for a moment and nodded to Gwen: "That makes sense, then I'll wait for you downstairs when the time comes."

Tonight they had an appointment with Mary and Peter to go to a newly opened restaurant near Times Square to have a meal and celebrate the four of them graduating.

Mary, sitting on Gwen's other side, said expressionlessly: "At the very least you guys have photos, I want to have photos but don't have any."

Gwen heard her best friend's somewhat resentful voice, turned her head to look, and seemed to think of something.

"Hasn't Peter come yet?"

"No."

"What is he doing?"

"Not clear, don't understand, don't want to know. I only know that if he doesn't come in another ten minutes, he'll be my ex-boyfriend."

"..."

Gwen heard her best friend's resentment, which was enough to sustain an Evil Sword Immortal, opened her mouth, then hurriedly looked at Hawk and gave him a wink.

Hawk understood, took out his phone, and called Peter directly.

After a while.

The call was finally answered, and the moment it connected, the urgent wailing of police sirens came through.

Obviously.

As the already famous good neighbor of Niuyuecheng, the Spider-Spirit was either fighting crime or on the way to fight crime.

Accompanied by the urgent sirens and the whistling wind, Peter's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Hello?"

"Forget the hello, if you don't show up in ten minutes, Mary is going to break up with you."

Hawk was concise and to the point. After saying this simply, he hung up the phone, then nodded to Gwen, indicating that he had notified him.

Nine minutes later.

Hawk, who was sitting in the audience admiring the wonderful and moving speech of this year's Niuyuecheng outstanding high school student recipient and Midtown High School outstanding graduate representative Gwen Stacy, glanced at the temporary toilet not far from the stage and raised an eyebrow.

Peter hunched his waist and quickly came to the seat next to Mary, putting his bachelor's cap on his head while dodging the resentful attacks from Mary beside him, all while explaining himself.

Mary was a person who kept her word, so because it hadn't been ten minutes yet, she didn't bring up breaking up with Peter, but just kept venting her anger at him.

Hawk was sitting in his seat, looking at his girlfriend Gwen on the stage, who was radiating a confident smile and speaking gracefully.
