Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 134 A Few Things Before the Start of School (Third Update!)

"Hello there!"

As Gwen listened to Hawke introduce the new title to outsiders for the first time, her smile almost overflowed, and she extended her left hand to Sharon with a smile.

Don't ask why it's not the right hand.

Because the six-carat purplish-red diamond engagement ring is on the ring finger of my left hand.

Every girl wants to show off to the whole world after being proposed to.

Gwen is no exception.

Of course.

If a woman doesn't post anything on social media or mention it to anyone after you propose, there's only one possibility.

She doesn't love you as a person.

When Sharon saw Gwen extend her left hand, she immediately noticed the six-carat purplish-red diamond ring on Gwen's ring finger, and in a flash, she understood why Hawke had gone to the moon.

After all, NASA's database is also in A.S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database.

Sharon shook hands with Gwen while her thoughts raced, offering her best wishes immediately.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

A happy smile spread across Gwen's face, then, thinking about Sharon's last name, she asked curiously, "Carter, that last name..."

The surname Carter is not actually very well-known.

But it occupies a page in the history of World War II in this world because this surname appeared along with Captain America Steve Rogers, and occupies an important page in Captain America's life.

Because Captain America's girlfriend's last name is Carter.

Sharon did not deny it, nodding frankly: "Yes, Peggy Kate is my aunt, and I am her niece."

Her last name is Carter, which is nothing to be ashamed of; on the contrary, it's something she's very proud of.

Gwen's expression was stunned.

"Then why did you come here today..."

"Find Hawke to ask him something."

"Okay, you guys chat, I'm going to the backyard first."

Upon hearing this, Gwen smiled slightly and did not stay to interrupt their conversation. After kissing Hawke beside her, she walked towards the backyard.

She plans to refurbish her backyard.

Before was before.

This is now.

She used to help Hawke decorate his backyard as his girlfriend, but now she is Hawke's fiancée.

Let's say that.

She was showing off her engagement ring to her mother Helen in the bedroom when she stood behind the master bedroom window looking down at the back garden that she had previously thought was very nice, but the more she looked at it, the less she liked it.

So she plans to reorganize it.

Hawke glanced at Gwen as she walked to the backyard, then turned back to Sharon, who had sat down on the sofa again, and said with a smile, "I think I don't need to explain."

Sharon nodded, then gave a wry smile and looked at Hawke: "But Hawke, what you did last night really scared a lot of people."

This is why the five philanthropists are currently focusing on Wakanda.

Moreover, from a certain perspective, it was Hawke who helped the five philanthropists discover in time the true nature of Wakanda, which was secretly developing its strength while receiving UN relief food.

The most important thing.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Deputy Director and Commander Maria Hill vouched for Hawke at a Security Council meeting concerning Hawke.

Board member Alexander Pierce also supports Maria Hill.

Hawke responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

The last person to try to give Hawkes a hard-on was Thaddeus Ross.

Now grass has grown on his grave.

And what about Maria Hill?

It was precisely because Maria Hill did not choose a hardline approach, but instead approached Hawk with relative equality and understanding, that Hawk helped Hill break Wakanda's barrier.

United Nations scientists have verified that if Hawke doesn't help break this barrier, Wakanda will not be able to break it within ten years using a non-high-yield nuclear weapon unless it actively withdraws from the barrier.

and so……

Currently, the five philanthropists are friendly towards Hawke and have accepted Maria Hill's suggestions. As a result, no one has bothered Hawke since his return from Africa, even when he was in London.

But Hawke's unexpected flight over the Earth yesterday still startled them.

This is why S.H.I.E.L.D. was so eager to have Sharon come to Hawke's side while she was still on vacation.

Sharon now knows the reason.

The diamond meteorite that NASA discovered on the moon—no, Hawke's trip to the moon last night was definitely for that diamond meteorite.

Sharon was already imagining the expressions on the faces of those important figures when she returned and reported this reason.

It will definitely be exciting.

Sharon thought to herself.

Hawke smiled, looked at Sharon, and gave the same answer as before: "I have no interest in changing the earth, so if they don't bother me, I won't bother them."

This is the truth.

Absolutely the truth.

After all, he can now traverse the stars even without his Saint Cloth, so there's only one reason why he's still on Earth right now.

His home is here.

New York City was his comfort zone; his sister lived there, and so did his fiancée.

Sharon nodded again after hearing Hawke's answer.

"I will take those words back with me."

"Thank you."

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Sharon then got up from the sofa, glanced at the time on her watch, and gave a wry smile: "I have to go to the airport later to pick up Thor and his girlfriend."

Once again, all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s codenamed agents have been reassigned to Wakanda, Africa, for fieldwork.

This is not.

The only person who can be connected to Thor is her. She is Peggy Kate's niece. Peggy Kate was Captain America's former lover, and Captain America and Thor fought side by side.

Sharon was curious about how this relationship had come about, but the Commander had already made his decision, and she couldn't resist; she could only accept it. Hawke also got up from the sofa, preparing to see Sharon off, when he heard that Sharon was going to pick up Thor at the airport. He thought of something and laughed, "Then you'll be busy from now on."

Sharon looked at Hawke with curiosity.

Hawke didn't hide it, treating it as an advance notice to S.H.I.E.L.D., to avoid them coming to his door every day.

In that case, he'll be annoyed, and S.H.I.E.L.D. will be annoy

So he told Sharon about his duel with Thor in London, Thor settling on Earth from now on, and how the two of them would probably have frequent duels in space in the future.

Sharon's expression gradually became more interesting.

Very wonderful.

the end.

After hearing Hawke's message, Sharon nodded: "Okay, I will report this matter as well."

Hawke smiled.

Gwen, who had just seen his fiancée get up from the sofa and the guests who had come to the house, came back in after Sharon said goodbye to him. He then saw Sharon to the door.

after awhile.

Having formally accepted herself as the mistress of the house, Gwen stood at the door and watched Sharon drive away from Palm Street before closing the door behind her. She then turned back to the living room, looked at Hawke, and began to recount the amusing stories she had shared with her mother, Helen, upstairs about Six Carat's engagement and wedding.

"Did you give Howard a rough diamond?"

"Ah."

"Howard took it out to show off this morning, but his mother put it away, saying she would give it back to him when he gets married."

Gwen kept a serious expression on her face, trying hard not to laugh.

Hawke met Gwen's eyes, which were barely suppressing a laugh, and chuckled silently.

really.

Regardless of East or West, mothers are all the same.

However, Hawke did not mention giving Helen a diamond.

Although he did have them, after all, he did bring back all the diamond meteorites from the crater when he went to the moon last night.

but……

Yes, he does, but he can't help Helen.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

A future son-in-law giving his future mother-in-law a diamond?

Listen.

Is this appropriate?

This is inappropriate. Even if he gives the diamond to Gwen and then has Gwen give it to Helen, it is still quite inappropriate.

Because the perception of diamonds has been solidified by the hype surrounding them.

Diamonds represent love.

The larger the diamond, the deeper the love; therefore, Helen's diamond could only be given by George.

correct.

George.

Hawke's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Gwen.

Has George's headache gotten better?

"Mom said Dad's head hurts even more."

"..."

Poor George.

Again.

Giving Helen Diamonds would be inappropriate, and similarly, giving George Diamonds would also be somewhat inappropriate.

So Hawke felt that the only thing he could do right now was to silently mourn for his future... no, for his future father-in-law.

Oh, right.

And Peter.

Gwen didn't just share her joy of being proposed to with her mother, Helen; her best friend Mary was also on the list.

Upon learning that Hawke had proposed to Gwen, Mary first let out a series of screams, and then immediately shouted in the group chat that Hawke should treat her to a meal.

Hawke agreed.

then……

When Mary saw the six-carat purplish-red diamond engagement ring on Gwen's left ring finger, she was immediately filled with envy. Although she didn't show it, she kept glancing at Peter sitting next to her.

Peter was on pins and needles; the hairs on his body, triggered by the spider's senses, were standing on end at a rate of once every ten seconds.

After dinner.

Gwen and Mary walked ahead, arm in arm.

Hawke and Peter followed behind as usual.

He took a round object, about the size of a fist, wrapped in newspaper, and tossed it to Peter from his pocket.

"Give."

"What is this..."

Peter instinctively took it, opened it, and looked at what was wrapped inside. He quickly rolled up the newspaper and tried to return it to Hawke.

"No, I can't accept this; it's too valuable."

"This is just a broken rock."

Hawke looked at Peter, who was trying to return the item, and said with a smile, "You're my friend. Do you really think our friendship is worth less than a broken stone?"

Peter shook his head.

"of course not."

"Then accept it!"

Hawke made the final decision, then put his arm around Peter's shoulder and walked towards the restaurant entrance, saying, "Instead of worrying about how expensive this piece of junk is, you should worry about how much it costs to polish it."

After all, he gave us raw stones.

It is not a finished product.
