Chapter 326: Mary Jane's New Boyfriend (Third update!)
"Aunt May doesn't think highly of Peter and Mary?"
"Otherwise?"
Hawk shrugged.
This was also the reason why he didn't care much about Peter's disappearance after meeting Aunt May.
Mary's anxiety was real.
But Aunt May's anxiety...
Was a bit fake.
Of course, it couldn't be said to be fake, it was just that compared to Mary, who didn't know the situation at all, Aunt May's anxiety wasn't that urgent.
Hawk felt that Aunt May might know more than Mary after seeing her at the time.
Still the same sentence.
Other people's business, under normal circumstances, he was too lazy to manage.
What if Peter's disappearance was to create a surprise for Mary?
This was also uncertain.
So Hawk chose to be silent at the time.
Now, after knowing the truth, regarding why Aunt May didn't tell Mary, it might really be the same as what Mary just said.
This was the Parker family's business, and Mary Jane was an outsider.
"But Mary is Peter's girlfriend?"
"Yes."
Hawk nodded, looking at Gwen, who was speaking up for her best friend Mary: "I can guarantee that Mary will be Peter's first girlfriend and also his last, but can you guarantee that for Mary?"
Gwen looked sideways and met Hawk's gaze.
She subconsciously opened her mouth, having the impulse to guarantee for her best friend Mary just like Hawk did for his good brother Peter without thinking.
But...
Gwen really couldn't say this guarantee.
Because she really couldn't guarantee that her best friend Mary would end up with Peter, the way Hawk could guarantee for Peter.
Peter was good.
Mary was also good.
This was the truth, and it was also a fact, but compared to the introverted Peter, Mary's personality appeared somewhat generous and luxurious.
Mary studied dance and had always longed to go to Broadway and perform her dance on a prominent stage.
And Mary had always been working hard in this direction.
But Peter was an honest child, an honest child who liked to wear a mask when doing good deeds.
So...
Gwen's thoughts turned and analyzed rapidly, and then she decisively chose to give up, shaking her head: "Forget it, you're right, this is their private business, let's not interfere."
Hawk smiled slightly.
"Figured it out?"
"Otherwise?"
Gwen rolled her eyes, then looked at Hawk, who had a half-smiling expression on his face: "Wait a minute, you just said 'also', so you don't think highly of Peter and Mary either?"
Hawk shrugged: "A boy's first love often ends in failure."
Gwen raised an eyebrow.
"I am also your first love."
"Uh..."
Hawk was slightly stunned, and meeting his fiancée's pair of gradually dangerous emerald pupils, he hurriedly tried to save himself: "We are different."
Gwen said 'um-huh' and continued to look at Hawk with dangerous eyes.
Hawk's thoughts turned.
The next second.
He made a U-turn on the spot.
Gwen was stunned.
"Not going home, where to?"
"Las Vegas."
"... Why go there?"
"It's not illegal to register for marriage at eighteen there."
Hawk said with a serious expression and a serious tone.
No choice.
This was the only way he could think of to save himself for now.
Look.
This was the reason why he didn't want to manage other people's private business, because if it wasn't handled well, one carelessness, and the fire would burn onto himself.
Just like now.
But...
The two ultimately didn't make it to Las Vegas.
It wasn't that Hawk went back on his word.
It was that Gwen was a bit worried about the chain reaction that would be triggered if they went this time and came back with a marriage certificate.
For example, the angry father-in-law would come to the door with a gun.
After all, taking without asking is called eloping.
The 'eloping' of eloping.
Currently, George had already pinched his nose and defaulted to the relationship of them being an engaged couple. If they were to elope to Las Vegas to get a certificate without a word, George would definitely go crazy.
And Helen probably wouldn't be happy either.
There was one more point.
University started tomorrow, and if they drove to Las Vegas now, they were afraid they wouldn't make it back to New York City in time.
The most important point.
Gwen just said it casually.
She couldn't guarantee for Mary, but she was very certain that she could accompany Hawk to the end, because Hawk was the future she chose with her own hands.
However, Gwen was still happy to see Hawk's action of almost going to Las Vegas to get a certificate the next second.
Therefore, Hawk didn't have any hesitation.
That was enough.
She would be Mrs. Phoenix.
And would also be the only one, just that it would take some time.
For now.
Academics were important.
The next day.
Hawk and Gwen got up early, and after eating breakfast, just like going to school as usual, Gwen drove her Toyota Corolla in front, and Hawk drove the Audi A8 behind, driving out of the garage one after another, and then drove toward the adjacent New York University and Empire University.
After the first class of the new semester was finished, Hawk, who was walking out of the lecture hall with a shoulder bag on his back, connected to the phone of his fiancée, who was having class at the university next door.
"Hello, Gwen."
"In the morning, Felicia's assistant came to the school to help Peter ask for leave, saying Peter was helping them do a project research."
"Asked for how long?"
"One semester."
"Hiss!"
Hawk took a breath and asked curiously: "Does Mary know?"
Gwen on the other end of the phone sighed: "This is what I really wanted to say. Mary said she broke up with Peter on the phone last night."
Hearing this, Hawk raised an eyebrow.
"Really broke up?"
"Yeah."
Gwen nodded and then said: "Don't come to my side at noon, I'm afraid Mary will be hurt seeing us two. Hanging up."
Hawk fell into silence while listening to the dial tone on the phone.
Good guy.
It really was the city gate catching fire and harming the fish in the moat.
It was clearly Mary and Peter breaking up, not him and Gwen breaking...
Ptooey ptooey ptooey!
Hawk hurriedly shook his head, cut off the chaotic thoughts that had just arisen, then came back to his senses, put his phone back in his pocket, and walked toward the lecture hall for the second class of the morning.
In the evening.
Gwen put down her books, tied up her golden ponytail, and began to make tonight's dinner in the bright kitchen.
Just like usual.
Hawk, who was originally helping, was seen by Gwen as helping more than he was hindering, so she drove Hawk to the high stool at the island counter to sit down again.
Hawk rolled a smooth onion in his hand, and while admiring the virtuous wife who was busy in front, asked about Mary and Peter.
"Really broke up, no room for maneuver?"
"Peter said the reason he didn't tell Mary the truth was that he didn't want Mary to worry, and said he had told Mary when he left New York."
"He did tell her."
Hawk spoke up for his good brother Peter: "Didn't Mary say it herself? She said Peter told her he had some things to do these days, and Mary didn't call."
Gwen took the roasted beef out of the oven, then pulled out a carving knife, turned around, and looked at Hawk: "Mary said, the main reason for the breakup wasn't because of this, but because of Aunt May."
Hearing this, Hawk's eyes lit up. He transferred the knife in Gwen's hand and the roasted beef in front of him to his side, and while cutting the meat, looked at Gwen seriously.
He didn't speak, but the expression on his face was filled with two words.
