[Superman] Number One Enemy

"That's why I didn't laugh." Steve looked innocent, even righteous.He helped serve the last dish and asked seemingly casually, "When are you going to tell him?"

Audrey pursed her lips and remained silent.She knew Steve was referring to Brandon's biological father.

Natasha quickly turned her eyes in Steve's direction, with a strong sense of warning. "Come on, captain, Audrey will measure for herself," she said, changing the subject, "Who's going to get the fruit?"

Of course Audrey knew that she should have told Clark the truth long ago, but the problem was that she couldn't say it, and it was useless to force her.Seriously, she wanted Clark to find out, and she thought Clark should find out, because she really didn't want to say it.

Or she should discuss it with Clark the way she discussed the weather...

……never mind.When she didn't say it.

Since having a family, Clark’s time to go out to guard the earth at night has been significantly reduced; the fact is that there are many superheroes on the earth, and he is not the only Superman. Without him, the earth continues to operate, and the sun rises and sets.Realizing this, Clark suddenly found that he could spend more time with the people he loved.

Also because of this, it was easier for him to observe Audrey's subtle emotional changes.

"You're acting weird tonight."

Before going to bed, Clark couldn't help asking.He put his arms around Audrey, occupying the left side of the bed because Audrey used to sleep on the right side.

"What?" Audrey was still scrolling on her phone, dealing with the progress of the proposal that should be implemented next week, carelessly, as if she wasn't listening at all.

Clark twitched the corner of his mouth, helpless.So, that's the downside of dating a CEO—sometimes he really wants to be Audrey's cell phone, which she puts in her pocket and carries with her, without him, she can't go far and knows all her secrets , and can be used by her all night.

Well, that last proposal is awesome.

"Look at me, Audrey." Clark raised his eyebrows, took Audrey's phone away, and stared at her seriously regardless of her displeasure. "Honey, do you want to say something?"

Audrey frowned. "No. Don't be suspicious."

Clark pursed his lips. "Okay. But it's time for us to take a break too, and stop using the phone, okay?"

Audrey watched Clark turn off the lights, and the mess of thoughts in her mind was enough to go around the earth 360 times five times.Yes, Clark wasn't suspicious, she wasn't telling the truth.She was struggling with how to gently tell Clark, Brandon... Hey, Clark, remember when you slept with an innocent girl one night six years ago?Yes, the time Luthor used the strange kryptonite on you.What?don't you remember?Let me tell you, the evidence is in the next room, there is nothing to doubt.

...God, this sucks.Audrey took a deep breath, and secretly told herself, think again.

Clark hugged her and, as usual, kissed her forehead, nose tip, lips, cheeks, and finally the earlobes.If she wanted to, she would usually cue Clark at this last step, like putting her hand down or something.But today, Audrey just wanted to hold Clark.

Immediately, Clark sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong? Honey?"

Audrey put her cheek against Clark's chest and said nothing.

Clark didn't urge him, he patted Audrey's back lightly and stroked her long hair. The steady heartbeat calmed Audrey's emotions.

"Actually, you saved me." After a long time, Audrey said.

Clark paused. "Really?" He was surprised, looking down at Audrey in surprise.

"Yes, really." Audrey nodded, pulling a little distance so that they could look at each other, "It's just that you don't remember it at all. You saved me more than once."

Clark's eyes widened. "but I……"

"Before I came to the company, I had no impression of my face at all, right?" Audrey said in a calm tone, indifferently, "Yes, I know. You don't have to feel guilty. If I hadn't become your boss, you There is no need to remember me, after all, you have saved so many people, accounting for about half of the total population of the earth."

"I don't think so much." Clark smiled awkwardly.

Audrey declined to comment.She was thinking about how to get to the point.

"When I was very young, I used to believe that you were my superman." Audrey continued, very serious and tentative.In the darkness, she stared at Clark's eyes, those blue eyes were clear and moving, always calm, gentle, and just.

"I'm alone."

Audrey stared closely at Clark's expression, calculating any reaction he might have.

But Clark just frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile, "...Uh, Audrey, are you reminding me of our age gap?"

of course not!Audrey rolled her eyes without a trace, her face expressionless.Forget it, she shouldn't expect Clark to understand her way of turning a corner, she'd better throw a straight ball.It was her fault for judging the brain circuits of aliens with the way of thinking of people on earth.

"Okay. I'm going to tell you, actually—"

Audrey stood up, and was about to tell Brandon's life experience in one go. At this time, Clark placed her cell phone on the low cabinet next to the bed, and suddenly there was a vibrating sound.

They stopped at the same time.

"Oh no." Clark turned his head away, covering his eyes with his palms, "No. Again?"

"It might be something very important." Audrey said, stretching out her hand, trying to cross Clark, and get back the phone.As a result, Clark stopped her even faster, turned off the phone directly, and threw the phone into the bamboo basket full of laundry.

"Clark!" Audrey scowled displeased.

"No. Don't even think about it." Clark raised his eyebrows.He rolled over and trapped Audrey under him, "I'm not going to let that thing ruin our time together. We have enough time together when we're waking."

Audrey stared at Clark silently, thinking; Well, this guy really is some kind of dog.Now he was demanding her attention.What should she do?Play ball throw with him?

"That might be something really important." Audrey sighed, wrapping her arms around the back of Clark's neck.

"Never mind." Clark leaned over and kissed Audrey, the thin kiss spread from top to bottom, "Don't think about other things when you are by my side. Otherwise, I will suspect that I didn't work hard enough..."

Audrey felt that she didn’t need to ask about the lack of effort. Clark had already proved with his actions that he would make her think about him, and there was almost nothing she could do except pant and call out his name.Seriously, giant dogs are troublesome.Audrey, who had no experience in raising animals, was helpless with Clark.

After one round, Clark let Audrey go.He took care of Audrey's feelings carefully, helped her clean up, and comforted her still red, swollen and congested areas with his lips and tongue, before lying down beside her.

"By the way. What did you want to tell me just now?"
