Chapter 258
After all, from the moment he proposed last night and put the ring on Gwen's finger, Gwen became the lady of this house in the true sense.
Witnessed by parents, justified and legitimate!
Hawk admitted that the proposal last night was a bit impulsive.
Of course.
He didn't regret it; anyway, he had never had the idea of starting a harem in the Marvel universe.
It was just that Hawk had originally thought about proposing to Gwen after graduating from university, then getting married, and then having children, letting things take their natural course.
But still, the same saying applies.
The atmosphere was there last night.
Gwen had chosen him so firmly, so naturally, he couldn't let Gwen down.
Fortunately, that NASA scientist wasn't bragging; otherwise, Hawk really wouldn't have known where to find a one-of-a-kind diamond in such a short time last night.
Right.
What about the engagement ring?
Hawk looked at Gwen, who had just turned around, and blinked his eyes.
"Gwen, where's the ring?"
"You mean this?"
Hearing this, Gwen took out the purple-red diamond ring from her pocket, which was shockingly large and looked like she was wearing a giant object on her finger. Seeming to know what Hawk wanted to say, she said to Hawk: "I plan to put it in the safe in the master bedroom at home."
Hawk raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"It's too big."
Gwen said so, then also sat on the high stool, looking at the engagement ring, which seemed a bit too shocking even in her palm, with a gaze that showed she liked it very, very much. Especially looking at the letters of her initials inside the purple-red diamond, she resisted the urge to put it on her finger and said to Hawk: "Do you know the look on Mom's face when she saw this ring of mine after you left last night?"
Hawk reacted at this moment.
He had only considered it being one-of-a-kind last night and forgot about practicality; after all, with a fifty-carat ring, even if Gwen wasn't afraid of people robbing her, it probably wouldn't be convenient for daily life.
Hawk thought in his heart, smiled, walked down from the high stool, and then, under Gwen's gaze, knelt on one knee in front of Gwen once again.
On his right hand appeared another purple-red ring, but only six carats.
Gwen widened her eyes and covered her mouth.
Hawk smiled as he looked at Gwen.
"Gwen Stacy, once again, will you marry me..."
"Of course, of course, I will."
Before he could finish his sentence, Gwen had already impatiently reached out her hand.
It could be seen that she was very eager.
Hawk smiled, put this six-carat ring on Gwen's finger, and the moment he stood up, Gwen had already hugged him and kissed his lips.
Three minutes later.
Lips parted.
Hawk lowered his eyes, held the hand that was wearing the engagement ring again, and said with a smile: "No need to take it off and put it in the safe this time, right?"
Gwen looked at Hawk and said in a serious tone: "No one can make me take off this ring."
After finishing.
Gwen impatiently ran towards the master bedroom upstairs.
She wanted to put that fifty-carat engagement ring into the safe while also sending this engagement ring to her mom.
Hawk looked at his fiancée, who was walking like a gust of wind and talking about impatiently sharing this news with her mom Helen, and thought of George, who was taking the day off at home today.
If Gwen sent this photo to Helen, George's headache would probably get even worse.
Hawk thought in his heart.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Hawk came back to his senses, first looked at the loving breakfast Gwen had just made for him, then looked up at the front door of the house, and then walked towards the entrance.
Opening the door.
An acquaintance appeared at the door.
Sharon Carter, Peggy Carter's niece, who had returned from the Quantico base with him last time, looked at Hawk, who had opened the door, and said with a smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Hawk."
"Good morning."
Hawk replied, then stepped aside, and Sharon Carter said thank you and walked into the house.
In the living room.
Hawk poured a glass of ice water and handed it to Sharon Carter.
After Sharon Carter took it, she said thank you again.
Hawk then sat down on the opposite sofa.
After Sharon Carter placed the ice water on the coffee table in front of her, she looked towards Hawk.
"Mr. Hawk..."
"Call me Hawk."
Hawk said.
When he flew back from Quantico at that time, on the plane, he had a good impression of this niece of Peggy Carter, Sharon Carter.
Sharon followed suit, called him Hawk, and then stated the theme of her visit today.
Last night's events.
Sharon said with a smile: "Hawk, your speed last night really scared quite a few people."
Hearing this, Hawk looked at Sharon: "Scared? How could they be scared? Did they do something guilty and worry that I would come knocking?"
He asked himself that he was a reasonable person.
And he never liked the tricks of hiding his light under a bushel, and even less liked to play the pig to eat the tiger.
Except for the very beginning when he ran to the Quantico base, he was a bit unsportsmanlike and covered his face.
But that was during his growth period.
But after that time, every action of his was almost open and aboveboard, never hiding anything.
The most important point.
Most people fear power, not virtue.
The more terrifying the strength he displayed, the fewer people would try to plot against him in the dark.
Hawk also showed his means of retaliation.
The Quantico base, which is still being rebuilt, and Thaddeus Ross, whose grave is already overgrown with grass, are good examples.
However...
He could understand Sharon's act of coming to the door.
Hawk then smiled and said to Sharon: "Don't worry, as long as no one provokes me, I am very willing to abide by the law. Last night, I went to the moon."
Hearing this, Sharon frowned slightly.
"The moon?"
"Yes."
"Is it convenient to tell me the reason?"
Sharon asked, then met Hawk's gaze and laughed: "Of course, if it's not convenient to say, I can write a reason myself and submit it."
She was actually on vacation today.
But...
Counting the entire S. H. I. E. L. D., there were very few agents who had dealt with Hawk.
Maria Hill?
She was still in Africa presiding over a mission related to Wakanda.
Natasha and Barton?
They also flew to Wakanda a few days ago, preparing to cooperate with Crossbones and others to clear out the local natives who had hidden in the mountains and were causing trouble for the UN's vibranium control work.
After all, these local natives had some personal strength, especially at night, when they would run out and attack the UN camp, which was very troublesome.
These were no longer ordinary natives.
They had to strike with a heavy fist.
And so, currently, S. H. I. E. L. D.'s codenamed agents had basically all run to Wakanda, preparing to execute the clearance mission personally issued by the Five Greats.
So, counting the entire S. H. I. E. L. D., the only one who had dealt with Hawk was Sharon.
And so.
Sharon had no choice but to come.
Hawk listened to Sharon's somewhat cautious words and smiled: "There's nothing to hide."
Just then.
Just as he was about to say why he ran to the moon last night, he heard the sound of conversation from downstairs, and Gwen, who was upstairs, walked down from the stairs at this moment.
Hawk raised an eyebrow, and introduced Gwen, who had walked over, and Sharon, who had risen from the sofa, to each other.
"Gwen, this is Sharon, Sharon Carter, S. H. I. E. L. D. agent."
"Sharon, Gwen Stacy, my fiancée!"
"..."
