Chapter 255: Gwen

Unlike flying from New York to London.

This time flying back to New York from London, the seats for Hawk and Gwen, as well as Peter and Mary, were bought together.

Like the previous two times returning to New York, there were no accidents from takeoff, to flight, and finally to landing at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

But Hawk was not happy.

Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, but three times in a row, no matter what, this cannot be explained by accidents and coincidences.

Hawk walked toward the parking lot with Gwen, already thinking about what accident he would encounter the next time he left New York.

After all, the accident before the plane, the accident on the plane, and the accident after getting off the plane, he had already collected them all.

So...

He was even thinking about what accident he would encounter next, not fearing the chaos.

Soon.

Hawk put the suitcase into the trunk and drove away from the airport.

Peter and Mary went to catch the subway.

In their words, in New York during the afternoon rush hour, by the time they took the subway home, Hawk and Gwen would probably still be stuck on the road.

The facts were just as the two had expected.

They were stuck in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Looking from the bridge toward the direction of Manhattan opposite, the lanes were blocked by vehicles.

Hawk turned the radio in the car, and it came from a NASA scientist participating in a radio program saying that a diamond meteorite estimated to weigh a hundred pounds had been discovered in a crater on the moon.

He was very excited about this, unfortunately, they couldn't go to retrieve it yet.

Just like that, the forty-five-minute drive from the airport back to the Stacy apartment took the two of them a full hour and a half.

When the two returned to the top-floor apartment, they were warmly welcomed by Helen and Gwen's two younger brothers, Howard and Simon.

Helen hugged Hawk.

"London was fun, right."

"It was okay, just felt like my legs weren't my own."

"I sympathize with you, come in quickly."

Helen heard Hawk's answer and didn't seem surprised, hurriedly pulling Hawk into the house.

She could understand.

Because before Hawk and Gwen left, she had also seen Gwen's London travel schedule.

Let's put it this way.

At that time, after she finished reading it, when Gwen asked her how she felt, she was silent for a while and sighed that youth is great.

After Hawk walked in, Helen was still comforting him.

"You should look at the bright side, Hawk."

"For example..."

"At least you have to accompany Gwen in the future, I don't need to, so you will get my thanks."

"Mom!"

Before Hawk could react, Gwen, who was just watching the conversation between her mother and her boyfriend with a smile, became unhappy after hearing Helen's words.

Helen laughed, patted Hawk on the shoulder, and then walked toward the kitchen: "Alright, you guys go back to your room and rest for a while, I'll call you down for dinner; Howard, Simon, go back to your room and read, you've played long enough today."

Howard and Simon, who had originally wanted to see what gifts their sister brought back from London, were as obedient as quails under their mother Helen's words, said 'oh,' and obediently walked toward the stairs on the second floor.

Hawk also followed Gwen's greeting and carried his luggage back to Gwen's room.

He put the suitcase on the bed, and then sat down on a computer chair on the side.

Gwen began to open the suitcase, organizing some gifts brought back for her family from this trip to London.

"This is Howard's."

"Simon's."

"This tie..."

Gwen found a tie bought while shopping in London from the suitcase, sat cross-legged on the bed, and handed the packaged tie box to Hawk, who was sitting on his plush chair: "Hawk, when Dad comes back, you give it to Dad."

Hawk reached out and took it: "What about you?"

Gwen looked at Hawk with a smile: "Believe me, seeing me is the best gift I can give my dad."

That's true.

Hawk nodded in agreement, then placed the tie box on the computer desk on the side, his gaze caught the calendar on the computer desk, and he saw the date circled five days later, August 20th.

His heart stirred.

"Do Berkeley, New York University, and Imperial University all start on the 20th? I thought California would be later."

"Hmm."

Gwen, sitting cross-legged on the bed, continuing to organize the clothes and gifts in the suitcase, responded, then looked up at Hawk: "Why, can't bear to see me leave New York?"

Hawk shrugged: "I can pick you up from school every day."

Berkeley and New York have a time difference; when it's nine o'clock in the evening in New York, it's about four o'clock in the afternoon in Berkeley, just in time for Gwen to get out of school.

Now, as long as he wants, he can indeed travel between Berkeley and New York every day.

And it's not tiring.

Gwen's eyes lit up when she heard Hawk's answer.

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Too bad it's too late."
