Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 278 The Appearance of the Eldest Daughter of the Khrushchev Clan (Fourth Update!!)
Hawke was silent.

He was wondering why Thor hadn't asked him to fight on Mars these past few days.

At first, Hawke was quite happy to have some free time.

After all, at this point, his fight with Thor is meaningless.

Unless Thor can transform from the hammer god into the god of thunder, once the Dark Phoenix dons the Surplice and his cosmos explodes, Thor is destined to lose.

Hawke had originally been thinking about how to refuse when Thor came to challenge him to a fight.

result……

Thor has found someone new and has completely abandoned his old flame.

And what's the reason?
Hawke's mind raced, and he said to Jane, who was shrugging, "You should know that several times when we went to Mars for drinks, he came back drunk, but I didn't."

Sharon, who was standing to the side, opened her mouth.

Hawke looked at Sharon.

Sharon pursed her lips and said, "You were drunk once. When you challenged Thor to a duel for the twenty-fifth time, you weren't paying attention when you broke through the atmosphere and fell into the Hudson River."

Hawke blinked.

"Have it?"

"Have."

"..."

Hawke was silent.

Seeing this, Jane smiled and said, "When Saul called last night, he said they were camping and barbecuing on the beach in Dubai. They should still be there today. You can go and find him."

Hawke raised an eyebrow.

"Dubai?"

"Tony invited them; they had just finished raiding a Hydra base."

Sharon added from the side.

I almost forgot that there's a member of the Avengers who's loaded.

Upon hearing this, Hawke suddenly realized what was happening and smiled, "Never mind, I have an appointment today."

talking.

He glanced at his watch; it was almost time to pick up Gwen from Osborn Bio Industries. After hugging Jane goodbye again, he was escorted by Sharon to the parking lot, where he drove his black Audi A8 out of the New York Shield headquarters.

After half an hour.

After picking up Gwen, who had come to visit their lab that morning, Hawke followed Felicia, who was driving ahead, and they headed towards Osborn Estate outside New York City.

When they arrived at the main building of Osborne Manor, the old butler was already standing at the door with a smile to greet them.

Little Ben is sitting in the smart stroller in the spacious living room, drawing circles along a predetermined route.

A maid was watching over him.

"Haha."

"Little Ben, look who's here."

"Godmother!"

"Godmother".

Gwen took Ben, who had a gold cross around his neck, from the stroller and held him in her arms, teasing him.

Hawke looked around.

Where is Peter?

"Delivered pizzas."

"..."

Hawke listened to Felicia's answer, remained silent for a moment, and then took a deep breath.

"A good man."

"Peter is indeed a good man."

Felicia smiled happily and agreed with Hawke's words: "But things should be much better after Peter graduates."

Gwen, who was holding a small notebook, looked at Felicia upon hearing this: "Didn't Peter join Dr. Octavius's lab?"

Hawke looked at Gwen with curiosity.

"Dr. Octavius?"

"Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius, a distinguished PhD in nuclear physics, has a laboratory in collaboration with the Imperial University."

"Oh."

Hawke suddenly realized.

Gwen looked at Hawke curiously: "You know Dr. Octavius? That's strange, you're a law student, you don't even have doctors."

Hawke's lips twitched.

"I've already enrolled in psychology as my second major."

"Psychology requires a doctoral degree."

After Gwen teased him that day about their law school only offering professional doctorates and not philosophy doctorates, he decided to get himself a doctorate.

The Phoenix family can live without a PhD, but it absolutely cannot have just one PhD.

Hawke doesn't want to have a child with Gwen later on.

The children asked him, "Dad, why do other people call Mom 'Doctor' and you 'Sir'?"

This doesn't work.

Gwen paused slightly upon hearing Hawke's words.

"Psychology? When did that happen? I've never heard you mention it."

"I was planning to give you a surprise."

Hawke shrugged, looking at Gwen who was trying to intimidate him with her academic credentials: "This would have been a pleasant surprise if you hadn't been so quick to put me down."

Gwen smiled brightly: "Okay, I was wrong, future Phoenix lawyer... sir!"

Hawke's smile froze.

next second.

Just as he was about to confront Gwen, she preemptively handed him the small notebook she was holding.

"Little Ben, hug your godfather."

"Giggle!"

Little Ben, who had been placed in Hawke's arms, looked into Hawke's eyes and, as if seeing the dazzling and boundless Phoenix Universe, burst into giggles.

Seeing this, Gwen turned to Felicia and said, "Look, she smiled as soon as she saw the Godfather. I hugged her for so long and she didn't smile at all."

Felicia also looked on with a puzzled expression as she watched Ben giggle in Hawke's arms: "Even when Peter was holding Ben, Ben never laughed this happily."

Hawke looked at the two women with a smile, holding Ben in one arm: "So, Peter is his father, but I am his godfather."

Well known.

The title of Godfather sounds much more prestigious than that of Father.

at this time.

Hawke raised an eyebrow, sensing Peter's presence. Holding the notebook, he vanished in a flash.

"Ben, look, a giant spider!"

"..." Peter, who had just finished delivering the last order and was running out of time, landed at the manor in his Spider Suit. Before he could even stand up, he heard this voice. After getting up, he saw Hawke holding his son and looking at him with a smile.

Seeing this, Peter took off his hood and went to hug Little Ben.

Hawke stepped back.

"Have you washed your hands? Then you can hold me and teach the child."

"..."

Peter opened his mouth, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Hawke then picked up Ben and walked back towards the main building of the manor with Peter.

"Hey buddy, you're delivering pizzas again?"

"Ah."

Peter pursed his lips and nodded.

Felicia is very rich.

She's quite wealthy, after all, Felicia inherited the entire Osborn Bio-Industry.

But this was Felicia's money.

Of course.

Peter wasn't being dramatic enough to insist that Benn come back to Queens with him and sleep in the old room with Aunt May.

That's not self-respect, that's inferiority complex.

However, Peter still wanted to earn money through his own labor. He might not earn a lot, but he would give all the money he earned to Felicia as a way to supplement the family income.

There's nothing shameful about working.

This is how my uncle taught him.

Peter had always thought so too.

Hawke glanced at Peter, who seemed tired from fighting crime but looked noticeably weary after delivering pizzas all morning. After a moment's thought, Hawke pulled a Sharon Carter business card from his pocket and handed it to Peter.

"Give."

"what is this?"

Peter took the business card, looked at the simple name and phone number on it, and then looked at Hawke.

Hawke, clutching his notebook, said, "You need a phone number that lets you monetize your skills. Don't go become a vigilante; I'm afraid my future father-in-law will arrest you."

Peter heard this.

"Sheriff Stacy won't arrest me."

"Human Sheriff Stacy won't do, but vampire Sheriff Stacy will."

“Lord-blooded ghost… … ”

"Shhh."

Hawke made a shushing gesture at Peter, then pointed to the business card in Peter's hand: "Anyway, whether you fight criminals for free or for money, it's still fighting criminals. So why not choose the paid option? It's still your hard-earned money. Don't worry, they know you, they just haven't come looking for you yet."

When S.H.I.E.L.D. found out about him, they also thoroughly investigated Peter.

But because Peter was his friend, SHIELD did not contact Peter before he spoke.

Hawke learned yesterday from his conversation with Peter at the church entrance that Peter was still delivering food.

But how can that be allowed?

How much money can he earn delivering food? Is it enough to support his son?

This doesn't work.

When Hawke went to S.H.I.E.L.D. in the morning, he simply asked Sharon for her business card, intending to recommend Peter for a job at S.H.I.E.L.D.

In a word.

With Nick Fury on board, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't let his good brother get involved.

But right now, S.H.I.E.L.D. is undergoing a complete overhaul and is short-handed. With Peter's abilities, becoming a Level 5 agent shouldn't be a problem at all.

The salary and bonuses of a Level 5 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent are far better than Peter's miserable life delivering takeout.

Peter listened to Hawke's words, looked at the business card in his hand, thought for a moment, and then put the business card away.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Hawke smiled slightly, then, carrying the notebook, stepped back into the main hall and said to Gwen and Felicia, "Everyone's here, let's go."

Gwen and Felicia nodded.

The four of them originally planned to have lunch at Osborne Estate.

but……

While browsing the lab during the day, Gwen and Felicia suddenly started talking about a really nice new French restaurant that had opened on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, so the two women decided on the spur of the moment to go there for a meal.

The reason for returning to the manor is to pick up Xiaoben.

After all, this meal is theoretically a matter of teaching a son by inviting his godfather.

But I must say, the food at this newly opened French restaurant is indeed very good.

After lunch.

The two women, still savoring the meal, said they would come back for another meal sometime in the future. Then they left the restaurant and waited for the waiter to bring their car from the parking lot.

Little Ben Peter held him, babbling softly.

Gwen put her arm around Hawke's and looked at Ben.

"Little Ben is so cute."

"Yeah, cute."

Hawke nodded in agreement.

Gwen then changed the subject.

"But I still want a daughter."

"son."

No, daughter.

As the eldest daughter, Gwen insisted on having a daughter as her first child, saying, "First, I'll have a daughter, and then a few years later, I'll have two sons. Perfect."

Just as Gwen was reiterating her family planning, her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at a girl who appeared to be about four years old across the street: "Hawk, I think our daughter will be even cuter and prettier than her."

Upon hearing this, Hawke looked in the direction Gwen was looking.

Across the street, a red-haired girl who looked about four years old was crossing the street.

The little girl seemed to sense Hawke's gaze and looked over as well.

Eyes facing each other.

Hawke suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

The little girl seemed to light up as well, and quickly crossed the road.

next second.

She threw herself into Hawke's arms.

"Daddy!"

"..."
