Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 42.1

Queens, New York.

Atop a towering clock tower, a massive clock ticks rhythmically.

From the top floor, the scenery of New York is laid out in full view.

Pedestrians move about on the streets as the setting sun casts a warm glow, and more car lights begin to flicker on.

From above, it looks like bands of soft-colored lights.

The orange glow illuminates the ground, resembling a beautiful oil painting.

At the very top of the clock tower, two figures sit on the edge of the tower, contentedly gazing at the distant scenery.

Since Hode left Manhattan, he's been brought here by Gwen.

"You really enjoy the view, don't you?"

Hode supported himself with his hands and tilted his head to look at the Ghost-Spider beside him.

He noticed that Gwen particularly liked places where she could take in the scenery.

"Mm."

Gwen nodded slightly, a hint of a smile on her lips, her voice laced with a touch of laziness.

In the past, she had appreciated the view alone, but now she had someone she could trust beside her.

Her heart fluttered a bit more; that was more than enough for her.

"It seems the scenery in Queens never gets old for you!"

Hode chuckled and turned his gaze back to the distance.

"Not that I'm tired of it, but... it's because you're here."

Gwen said, removing her mask to reveal slightly flushed cheeks.

As she spoke, her heart raced; to her, it felt like a confession.

But this was also the most genuine thought in her mind.

"You've learned to charm people, little Gwen."

Hode lightly pinched her cheek, enjoying the softness of her skin.

"Hehe..."

Instead of resisting, Gwen leaned in a little closer to him, inhaling the faint sandalwood scent mixed with the cologne he wore.

She couldn't help but smile. Although she didn't know how Hode felt about her, she was certain that she had already fallen for him.

"By the way, have you ever seen a reversed New York?"

Gwen suddenly stood up, stretching her elegant curves and excitedly turning to Hode.

"Reversed New York?"

Hode looked at her, puzzled; he truly had no idea what a reversed New York looked like.

"Exactly! It means looking at it upside down! Silly!"

Gwen shot out a web from her wrist, and her body hung upside down from the rooftop.

Her golden hair flowed down and glittered in the sunlight.

With a beaming smile, she looked at Hode with anticipation: "Do you want to try it with me?"

"Sure."

Hode didn't hang upside down but instead spread his arms wide and clapped his hands together.

At that moment, the scenery of New York instantly flipped upside down.

When Gwen saw this scene, she was momentarily stunned.

"This is!!!"

Gwen returned to Hode's side, looking at him with disbelief.

It was her first time witnessing such a bizarre sight; it felt extraordinarily strange.

It was as if the world had been flipped upside down.

Yet she could distinctly feel that this was merely affecting her senses.

"It's just a little magic trick,"

Hode smiled and shook his head, holding Gwen's hand as they sat at the edge.
