Unbeknownst to Peter, Gwen and George had already spoken once. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Back in the morning, after the last call to Peter still didn't go through, and the text message she sent still didn't reply, Gwen, who had become quite impatient, threw her phone to the ground. And the next moment, she realized what she had done, quickly picked up the phone from the ground again, and leaned into the light to see if there was any damage on it.

However, her luck was not very good, and a crack was knocked out in the upper right corner of the screen of this phone. She was distressed for a while, but this was a Valentine's Day gift that Peter had bought her with the salary he had saved. There seemed to be something wrong with her old Motorola phone's battery, and she had casually mentioned a few times before that she wanted to get a new one. And just two weeks later, Peter gave her the gift very thoughtfully.

I should have bought the phone case that I heard from my classmates.

And thinking of this, her mood darkened again. Looking at the cracks in the corners of her phone, Gwen blinked her eyes vigorously, trying to force back the tears that were already about to flow.

Is this also a sign of the end of their relationship? Like his gift, the relationship between the two, despite how sweet and beautiful it was at first, was actually so fragile that a rift would appear that would be difficult to repair after just a slight collision?

Gwen sniffed her nose vigorously and took a few napkins from her desk. She came to the mirror, and looked at her already heavy eyelids and the dark circles under her eyes that had stayed up all night, and the frustration in her heart intensified.

Although they had been dating for less than three months, Peter was indeed the favorite boy she had ever seen. In terms of knowledge and erudition, he was the first to admire himself. And under that wisdom far beyond his peers, he was a very simple and kind person, and regarded her as his everything. In this world, there is only her own father besides Peter.

And in addition to being smart and kind, he also showed amazing courage in times of emergency. Gwen will never forget how he rushed into the raging fire to save people without hesitation.

And this is such a person, but he chose to use text messages to break up with himself. Without explaining the reason, and without any intention of explaining to himself, he cut off the connection between the two like this.

However, Gwen can't put the whole day in sadness. It's Saturday, and she's going to get breakfast ready for herself and her dad as soon as possible before heading out for the Osborne Building. As Dr. Connors's newest apprentice, being late is a very bad habit.

However, when she put the sandwich and milk on the table, she realized that her father was also absent-minded today. However, he has been like this in recent days, and the fact that he was inexplicably forced to take a vacation by the police station still dealt a lot of blows to him. George is a workaholic type of person, and he can't adapt to the sudden idleness. In the last few days, even if there is nothing to do, he still goes out and hangs around.

Gwen has always persuaded him to take up another hobby, fishing or golf are good choices. Or he could try his hand at writing now, as George had always said he would write a book about his years as a police officer after he retired. And now that he's free, he might be able to try

"Good morning, Dad." She said sullenly, and she put a few more chocolates on her plate, and was about to turn back to her room to eat.

"What's wrong, my baby sweetheart?" George's greeting was a bit deliberate, and the dead tsundere almost never used to put 'baby' and 'sweetheart' together. The dull Gwen didn't notice this. She kicked the chair hard and poured a bunch of snacks on her plate.

"Your daughter is out of love." She exclaimed disgruntlingly. "And it was dumped."

"Oh, my precious girl, don't be so upset." George walked up to Gwen's back, patted her on the shoulder, and gave her a firm hug until she gently pushed him away.

"Not sad?" She wiped away the tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes, choked up in her throat, and spoke a little intermittently. "He... He just sent me a text message. Didn't even tell me why! ”

"Don't be sad about that kind of guy, good." George whispered to Gwen. "It's not worth it to be sad for a bastard like him. I'm sure my family's Gwen will be able to find a better boyfriend than him. ”

"He's not a jerk." Even in the midst of sobbing, Gwen subconsciously defended Peter. "But—" she couldn't say the rest of the words. Peter really broke her heart this time.

"That little guy has that little bit of goodness, and you're still defending him. It's a disaster that he really continues to be with you. George was a little unhappy with Gwen's reaction. Don't look at his appearance, in fact, his scheming is very deep with the city. ”

"Scheming?" Gwen wiped the tears from her face, a little confused. “... Weren't you still happy with Peter last time? Scheming and the city government are deep? Where did you come to this conclusion? ”

"Uh—" George was a little speechless. He realized that he had said a little too much. "I watched it for a while, and I felt a little bit like that. Think of it as a middle-aged person's intuition. ”

"Dad." Gwen looked at George with suspicious eyes, and what she had thought was wrong before came together like pieces of a puzzle. "What the hell did you say to Peter?"

"Me and Peter? I don't understand what you mean. George was still trying to play dumb at this time, but the subtle reactions in him betrayed him faithfully. Even though lying wasn't a rare thing for him, he was not used to doing it to his daughter.

"Daddy, if I hear a lie from your mouth again, you won't be able to eat the loving breakfast your daughter made for you again."

Gwen's threat seemed to have finally touched George's nerves, and he tore through his disguise and began to roar. "What if I let him leave you? If he really liked you, would he really do it? I really don't understand what you like about him, he's really not a good person. ”

"He's smart, kind, brave, good-looking, and has six-pack abs!" Gwen said confidently.

"Six... Six-pack abs? George was stunned for a moment, and then became angry. Where are you going? ”

"Everything that needs to be done is done except for the last base." Not to be outdone, Gwen stared back. "We've been dating for three months, where do you think we're at? It's not the eighties anymore! ”

"You—" George was so angry that he almost slapped Gwen in the face. However, he gasped hard, turned around and poured himself a glass of water, trying to calm himself down.

George had never beaten Gwen before, and he wouldn't make an exception today.

The icy cold water finally cooled his fiery temper a little. George rubbed his temples, his tone full of helplessness. "Seriously, Gwen, he's not as good as you think. You're just getting carried away by love right now, and you're only going to cause more trouble with him. Trust me, it's better for everybody. ”

"Carried away? You're underestimating your daughter a little too much. Gwen shook her head. Tell me, why are you so opposed to our interactions? I remember you were very happy with him until yesterday. ”

"I just noticed that he was not what he was talking about." Now George just wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible, Gwen's tongue was much stronger than his own, and he was always afraid that the more he said, the more wrong he became. "He's really not as kind and nice as you think."

Gwen glanced at George thoughtfully, but didn't say what was on her mind. Obviously, Dad seems to have discovered some of Peter's secrets, and now she has to get more information out of his mouth to find out what that secret is.

"Dad, I think my ability to read people is really not bad, and I know very well what kind of person Peter is."

"Do you really know?" George sneered, thinking of the people Peter had taken to the hospital. The kid was quite ruthless, and at least a third of them had incurable brain damage, and the rest had at least a few broken bones. Can this be called kindness?

"I don't know why you've come to this point now, but do you remember what happened at the beginning? Do you really think that a man who can rush into a burning kitchen by himself in order to save someone else is hopelessly bad? ”

Gwen asked the question tentatively. Her biggest concern now may be that Peter may have done something unforgivable, and her father found out about it through his news from the police. To be honest, Gewen thinks this possibility is really not small.

"I didn't say he was hopelessly bad," George snorted. "He still has courage and a little personal heroism, but according to his temperament, it will only invite more trouble."

"Trouble? Dad, have you ever been afraid of trouble? Gwen smiled dumbly. It's not once or twice that you've yourself gotten into trouble because of your personal heroism. You are sure that you are qualified to say that to others. ”

"Don't compare me to him." For Gwen's words, George seemed a little dissatisfied. "At least I'll play by a little bit of the rules, boy... I don't even think about the consequences when I do things. ”

"Wait a minute? What did he do? Did something happen to him? ”

George was even more upset, and the anger he had suppressed before showed signs of rising.

"Why do you care so much about him? Now he doesn't have anything to do with us, and that's definitely a good thing for us. Gewen, there are excellent boys everywhere in the world, why do you have to be a bastard who dies all day long? ”

Gwen fell silent and began to ponder. Scenes from her usual time with Peter came back to her mind, and a strange conjecture suddenly popped up. Although this conjecture is so bizarre, if it is true, Peter's previous mistakes, and Dad's strange things today, seem to have a very reasonable explanation.

"When did you find out that Peter was Red Mask?" She asked the question quietly.

-----

Back to the present. Peter, Gwen and George sat face to face in the corner of a quiet coffee shop in a slightly awkward atmosphere.

"So—" After hearing the whole story, Peter held his forehead in pain. It took Gwen less than ten minutes to get everything out? ”

George and Gwen glanced at each other and spoke at the same time as if they had been rehearsed in advance.

"It's that she's too cunning!" "He's so stupid!"
