Watching Parker leave, Sean gloated, look at the trouble you’ve gotten yourself into.
”
“I told you not to show off and go flying around.
Now
Hannah, standing beside him, nodded in agreement.
“Did I miss something?”
Gwen had come looking for Flash to help him with his studies, only to discover that he’d already been taken away by a teacher.
She looked at Sean in confusion.
Sean shrugged and sighed.
“Parker showed off and got taken away. I told him not to show off. He should learn to be as low-key as me. ”
Sean put on an expression of deep sorrow.
Gwen and Hannah both rolled their eyes at him.
Hannah laughed and teased, learned it from you?”
“Why do I feel like Parker only got taken away because he
“Don’t falsely accuse me. I’m a good student. ”
Sean immediately defended himself.
“A good student who skips school? A good student who doesn’t attend class?”
“The knowledge taught at school can’t satisfy the needs of a genius like me. I have no choice but to study on my own. ”
Sean’s words were half true and half nonsense.
His mind had indeed surpassed that of an ordinary genius.
The rest was definitely nonsense.
“All right, then, Great Genius. Take me to find my cousin. I still have to tutor him. ”
Gwen had already gotten used to Sean’s shamelessness.
“Sure. I’m going to go get Parker out anyway. After all, I’m his only… ”
Sean paused.
”
…wingman!”He was making things up again.
Seeing Sean and Gwen being so “close, ” Hannah couldn’t find a chance to join their conversation.
She stood to the side, puffing out her cheeks and glaring unhappily at the two of them.
Gwen finally realized there was someone else beside them.
She turned toward Hannah, whose cheeks were puffed up.
“Hannah?”
Well, Gwen hadn’t noticed her until now.
Hannah angrily stomped her foot and turned away from Gwen.
“I’m leaving. I have something to do. Next time, you have to tell me more about martial arts, okay?”
Before Sean could answer, she picked up her tools from the ground and left.
Sean picked up his hat, rubbed his bald head, and said to Gwen,
“Looks like you’ve upset her. ”
Gwen glanced in the direction Hannah had left and said indifferently, day.
I’m used to it.
”
“She’ll get over it in a
Hannah was her best friend. Find the original chapter at g.com.
How could Gwen not know that Hannah wasn’t really angry?
She was just being tsundere again.
Gwen turned back toward Sean and suddenly noticed his bald head.
She was surprised.
“You’re bald? You’ve been wearing that hat all the time, so I thought you were just obsessed with hats. ”
Sean had always worn a hat at school.
Nobody had ever seen him take it off.
Even Parker, who spent almost every day with him, didn’t know that Sean was bald.
Gwen was genuinely surprised when she saw Sean’s completely bald head.
She didn’t find it particularly funny, though.
Plenty of people in America shaved their heads.
Bald people were everywhere.Sean didn’t answer.
Instead, he grabbed Gwen’s hand and pulled her toward where Parker and the others were.
He also wanted to change the subject.
He didn’t want anyone discussing his head.
Gwen unexpectedly didn’t resist when Sean took her hand.
She simply stared at him with her eyes wide open.
Sean pulled Gwen into the hallway.
They immediately saw Flash walking out of the office with a gloomy expression.
“Hey, Flash! Over here!”
Gwen called out to him.
Flash looked over.
He saw his cousin and Sean.
But his eyes immediately locked onto their clasped hands.
His body began to tremble.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
They’re actually together!
The two people I’m most afraid of are together!
Are you seriously not going to leave me any way out?!
Gwen had no idea what he was thinking.
She was about to walk over and ask what had happened, but Sean was still holding her hand.
Hannah looked at Sean seriously.
“Mr. Sean, as the daughter of a police chief, I feel it’s necessary to teach you a little about the law. For example, how many years in prison does a man get for molesting a young woman?”
Sean stared at her blankly.
Then he finally realized what she meant.He immediately let go of Gwen’s hand.
“An accident. It was purely an accident. ”
He turned toward Flash.
“So, Flash, how’s Parker?”
Sean once again used his tried-and-tested method of changing the subject.
Gwen gave him a deep look but didn’t pursue the matter.
Sean didn’t notice that after Gwen turned around, the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile.
“Parker? His uncle was called in. He’s still inside. Look, they’re coming out now. ”
Flash pointed toward the office.
Sure enough, Parker and his uncle walked out.
The situation looked pretty bad.
As expected, Parker’s uncle was furious and immediately began lecturing him.
Parker’s uncle wasn’t concerned about the basketball hoop itself.
He cared deeply about Parker.
After Parker’s parents died in a plane accident, his uncle and aunt were the only family
Parker had left.
Throughout Parker’s childhood, his uncle had essentially taken on the role of a father.
As an upright and kind man, he couldn’t allow Parker to head down the wrong path.
Parker, however, didn’t think he’d done anything wrong.
When he had been weak, Flash had bullied him.
Now that Parker possessed tremendous strength, he had merely taught Flash a lesson and shown him not to bully people recklessly.
He hadn’t actually injured Flash.
So the two had completely different views of what had happened.
Parker’s uncle believed Parker’s desire for revenge was wrong.
Parker believed he hadn’t done anything wrong.And so the two uncle and nephew began arguing.
“Ah, this must be the Uncle Ben Parker always talks about. ”
Seeing that things were going badly, Sean stepped forward to greet Parker’s uncle, hoping to defuse the tension.
“He talks about you all the time. He says you’re an indispensable person in his life. ”
“Peter, who’s this?”
Seeing the others approach, Uncle Ben stopped lecturing Parker.
“Uncle, this is Sean. And this is Gwen. ”
Parker introduced them, taking advantage of Sean’s arrival to ease the tension.
Flash had already left long ago after seeing them head toward Parker.
“Hello. Peter talks about you two all the time. ”
Uncle Ben was especially friendly after learning that this was Sean.
“I’ve been hearing your name quite a bit lately, Sean. Peter often tells me how much you’ve helped him at school. Thank you for looking after him. ”
He smiled warmly.
“Next time you come over to our house, I’ll have Aunt May make some dishes for you. Aunt May is an excellent cook. ”
“It would be my pleasure. I’d love to try Aunt May’s cooking. ”
Sean didn’t refuse.
Uncle Ben chatted with Sean for a few moments before glancing at his watch.
“I’m sorry. I still have work at the construction site, so I have to go. ”
He seemed genuinely reluctant to leave.
“I’d really like to talk with you a little longer. You’re much more sensible than that kid, Peter. We’ll talk again next time. ”
After saying goodbye, Uncle Ben prepared to leave.
Then he noticed Gwen.
He quietly teased Parker,
“Is that the girl on your desktop?
Looks like she and Sean are pretty close.
You’d better step
“up your game.He chuckled before hurrying off to the construction site.
That left Parker standing there in frustration.
He had also noticed that his goddess seemed much closer to Sean than to him.
To Gwen, Parker was merely an ordinary friend.
Parker envied Sean, but he didn’t feel jealous.
After all, Sean was his best friend.
So he could only bury his feelings for Gwen deep in his heart, preserving them as a beautiful memory.
