Chapter 81 Aunt Mei's Difficult Question
"You are in danger now."
Aunt May put down the church flyer in her hand and said to Peter with a serious expression.
"I don't quite understand, Aunt May."
Peter pretended to know nothing.
Uncle Ben next to him pretended to pick up the newspaper and cover his face.
It was obvious that he had no say in such a topic.
Aunt May looked at Peter menacingly, "George called me last night and said you and Gwen were dating."
"To be honest, Peter, I have no objection. In fact, I quite like that child Gwen."
Aunt May said to Peter seriously, "Just you better not do anything stupid."
"Cough cough."
Uncle Ben coughed and said to the two of them awkwardly, “The lawn outside hasn’t been cleaned yet. I’ll go out and clean it up first.”
After Uncle Ben left, Aunt May folded her arms over her chest and said to Peter, "At least you should protect yourselves."
Peter put down his banana bread, looked up and said, "Actually, we didn't do anything out of the ordinary, Aunt May."
"Do you understand that kind of thing?"
"what?"
Peter looked up at Aunt May in surprise.
He thought Aunt Mei was going to scold him, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
"I say, do you understand that kind of thing?"
Aunt Mei folded her arms, looking like a strong woman.
Peter was stunned, then changed the subject: "Maybe we can talk about something else, Aunt May."
"Do you understand?"
Aunt May didn't seem to notice Peter's evasion and asked again.
Peter didn't expect Aunt May to become so strong today.
And he said it in front of me without any hesitation.
"Aunt May, the Internet and cable TV were already available when I was born."
Peter said helplessly to Aunt May: "Yes, I understand."
"understand what?"
"Uncle Ben told me."
Peter had no choice but to carry Uncle Ben out.
"Ben said that?"
"Yes."
Aunt May lowered her arms, and Peter thought she was going to drop the subject, but she asked again, "What did Ben tell you?"
"Aunt Mei, forget it. I give up."
Although Peter was not a veteran in his previous life, he was not a naive person either. He felt very embarrassed when being questioned by Aunt May.
It was probably Aunt May's natural coercion that was particularly effective on this body of his.
Seeing Peter's expression at this moment, Aunt May smiled.
She said to Peter, "Okay, but there is a taboo, don't do bad things in the house."
"I won't, Aunt May."
"Are you sure? Nothing unexpected will happen."
"probably not."
Aunt May nodded, walked over and patted Peter's hand gently, "Gwen is a good girl, I like her, I'm not the old-fashioned person you think I am, and..."
She paused, her expression softening. “Your father and mother met in high school.”
After dealing with Aunt May, Peter was about to ask Uncle Ben to ask for leave for him when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and found it was a message from Gwen.
"Good morning, Peter. Did my father say anything to you?"
After a moment's hesitation, Peter replied to her: "No."
He didn't tell anyone about George's complaint to Uncle Ben and Aunt May. "That's good. Actually, I have a question for you."
"what is the problem?"
It took a few minutes for Gwen's text to come through. "You don't think I'm a random girl, do you? Peter."
In the room, Gwen held her phone and looked at the screen with a frown.
When she woke up in the morning, she felt upset.
"What stupid thing did I do yesterday?"
She felt ashamed when she thought of her unrestrained behavior in the swimming pool and her quarrel with her father.
I am not like this on weekdays.
Well, although the feelings for Peter were not false, kissing was something that should not be initiated by oneself.
Was I really poisoned like Peter said?
She looked down at her phone as she thought about it.
Peter texted her back: "No."
With a "bang", Gwen fell on the bed with her golden hair spread out.
She raised her phone above her eyes and typed, "Thank you for your comfort. Maybe I'm really poisoned. What I fear most is that things that I can't control will happen again and again."
"No, Gwen, it was just a coincidence."
Gwen adjusted the height of her phone and continued to send messages: "Didn't someone say that once something happens, it will definitely happen again."
She edited the text: "It's like the government sending a team of meteor watchers to Koret National Park because a huge asteroid landed there two million years ago."
Gwen put her phone down and savored the kiss from yesterday.
Feeling the sun on her hair, she muttered, "It's not all bad, though."
She wanted to tell Peter that she had a dream, but in the end she didn't say it.
She dreamed that she was at Disney World, driving a white van with a red cross on it, and Peter was sitting next to her.
Her and Peter's pretty daughter, who must have been six years old at least, was perched on the fender of the van, staring at her with green eyes.
On the street outside the train station, Mickey Mouse was surrounded by children, holding the children's trusting hands with his large white cartoon gloves.
Everything looked so blissful.
She rubbed her brows and looked at the photo frame on the bedside table.
"Well, this is a scenario I've dreamed about with my parents since I was a kid, but I never expected it to come true in the next generation."
Gwen gathered herself together, left the room, and headed towards the school.
It had rained all night on the streets, and there was a smell of earth.
Gwen unconsciously wrapped her sweatshirt around her and put on the hood.
Near a corner of the street, a bald man in a black suit in a black car saw Gwen and took out his phone to report: "Boss, we found the target."
"Very good, execute the plan, do a great job."
"understand!"
After putting down his phone, the bald man started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards where Gwen was.
"boom!"
The roaring car rushed towards Gwen like a wild horse.
The bald man gripped the steering wheel tightly, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and rushed behind Gwen in an instant.
The moment the roaring car approached her, Gwen's body's senses magnified.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly enveloped her body.
Without any hesitation, Gwen jumped up and flipped in the air to avoid the speeding car.
She dodged a speeding car by doing a backflip and landed heavily on the ground with a bang.
The ground was splashed with countless drops of water as she stepped on it.
Gwen looked at the stopped car, her brows furrowed slightly.
But she thought the driver of the car did not do it on purpose.
Clapping her hands, she walked towards the parked car.
