[Superman] Number One Enemy

After dinner, Audrey was in charge of cleaning up.Mrs. Kent walked into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and reached out to the dirty dishes piled in the counter.

"No! No, no, please don't." Audrey hurriedly stopped Martha, standing in front of the counter nervously, looking a little at a loss, "Just let me do it. Really."

Martha looked at Audrey amusedly. "It's ok honey. I'm just curious about your machine. Is it a dishwasher?"

Audrey turned sideways and looked in the direction Martha pointed. "Yes, it's a dishwasher, but we don't necessarily use it. It can't wash wooden tableware, and rusty gold, tin, and silver cups and plates can't go in. The lead glass may be scratched. We only Use it to wash ordinary dishes, and wash other tableware by hand.”

Suddenly Martha realized. "I see... so these are hand washable, right?"

As soon as Audrey nodded, Martha was ready to wash the dishes.Audrey hurriedly stopped the other party, and almost called Clark to take his mother away.

"Please, don't be like this. This is the first time I compete with someone to do the dishes..."

"Then let me help, kid. It's too hard for me to live in this castle-like place and not let me do anything. Let's wash together, shall we?"

In the end, Audrey couldn't hold back Martha, so she agreed to wash the dishes together.There were conversations from other people discussing things in the living room, mainly revolving around Luthor and this matter.Audrey wanted to hear clearly, but the distance was too far away, and the sound of water covered most of the human voices.

"I heard from Clark that you have a baby." Martha started the topic.

Audrey returned to her senses. "Um...yes. He went to school today."

Martha smiled, turned her head and looked at Audrey. "His name is Brandon? About six years old, isn't it. Clark sends me pictures of you all the time."

Audrey's heart skipped a beat, her hand slipped, and she almost dropped the crystal glass plate in her hand.

Martha looked at Audrey with a smile.watch.just watch.

"Uh." Audrey said with a straight expression, feeling guilty and at a loss, and said very seriously, "Maybe Clark didn't say that Brandon is seven years old..."

Martha laughed. "How is it possible, I can tell that the kid is at most six years old. He looks exactly like Clark when he was a child."

Audrey took a deep breath.God, exactly the same.Does she have a place to escape?

Martha washed off the foam from her hands, dried her hands, and patted Audrey's head lightly. "Relax, relax, I'm sure you have your reasons," she said, smiling softly. "One day, you'll tell Clark the truth. You just need a little time. Women need a little time."

Audrey lowered her head, pursed her lips nervously, and behind her calm expression was panic.

"I won't tell Clark." Martha assured Audrey with a smile.She glanced in the direction of the living room, shook her head with a chuckle, "My son is usually clumsy, although he is not grown up at this age, he will call in the middle of the night and ask me to act like a baby, and he is emotionally slow, but he is human. He's very sincere and reliable in his work. You know what? He's the kind of man who won't let go once he's sure."

Audrey raised her eyes cautiously.Martha gave her a friendly nod.

"I know." Audrey replied softly, slightly curling the corners of her mouth, "Clark is fine."

"That's because you love him," Martha said, smiling. "I can tell. He's on your mind."

Audrey pursed her lips, for some reason, she had the urge to cry at this moment.She quickly turned her eyes away, took a deep breath to ease her emotions, and changed the subject at the same time, "Brandon will be back tomorrow, he is looking forward to seeing you. He also prepared a gift for you, but he has never had a chance to hand it to you..."

"I know. Clark told me. Garland, right?" Martha smiled, holding Audrey's arm with soft strength, so that Audrey could feel warmth and strength.

Audrey turned her head and looked at Martha, her eyes were faintly red.

"Don't be sad, honey," said Martha, touching Audrey's face.Although her hands are old and dry due to the years, they can touch Audrey's heart in particular.

Audrey reluctantly raised the corner of her mouth, half-mocking herself: "Oh my god, I'm so fragile. It's been many years since no one...how should I put it, this is not my usual appearance..."

Martha held Audrey's hands and looked at Audrey sincerely. "I believe that Clark falling in love with you is the best decision he has ever made. He loves you, Audrey. No matter what happened to you, he will not leave you. Only by your side can he Nothing to worry about."

Speaking of this, Martha turned her head and looked at the living room.Clark just happened to look at them, caught Audrey's line of sight, and smiled almost subconsciously.

"Look," said Martha, looking away, "am I right?"

Audrey lowered her head, her emotions were churning and mixed.

Suddenly Martha withdrew her hand.Audrey looked up, watched Martha undo the necklace, immediately understood what Martha was going to do, and stopped in panic.

"No, come on, Martha. You can't do this..."

"I can." Martha raised her eyebrows and took off her necklace; it was a silver chain, and the pendant was a white pearl. It was very ordinary and not expensive, but it was very meaningful.

"It was given to me by his grandmother when I married his father. This necklace has been passed down in the Kent family for five generations, and now it's time for you."

Audrey struggled to accept that Martha put on the necklace for her.She understood the great meaning behind this necklace; it meant that she would be the next mistress of the Kent family.She will accompany Clark through every moment of their future life, no matter the ups and downs, sorrows and joys.She will wear the necklace until they have a child, find the other half of their life, and then pass the necklace on.

"Thank you." Audrey couldn't help hugging Martha tightly, she wanted to do it so badly, "Really, thank you... Martha. Thank you for being willing to believe in me."

Martha patted Audrey on the back and sighed, "My child, how could I not believe you? Anyone can see that you are a match made in heaven."

Audrey wasn't sure Clark had overheard her conversation with Martha.It seems that there is no.Even if he listened, he didn't listen completely, otherwise he should have come to her to question Brandon.

Before going to bed, Audrey sat in front of the vanity mirror and looked at the pearl necklace around her neck.This necklace is of great significance, more expensive than any of her luxurious diamond and gemstone necklaces. She is afraid that it will oxidize if she wears it every day, and she is afraid that it will be rude not to wear it.It's a dilemma.

"My mother gave you the necklace, right?"

Clark approached from behind, put his hands around Audrey's shoulders, and looked at them in the mirror, with a calm and gentle smile, somewhat similar to Martha's.

Audrey raised her eyes and looked at Clark through the mirror, "Obviously so."

Clark leaned over and kissed Audrey on the cheek.Audrey turned her head to the side and squinted her eyes to look at him.

"Don't you think you should express something besides what you just said?"

"Hmm... I don't quite understand what you mean. An analogy?"

Audrey stared fixedly at Clark.stare.Just stare.stared blankly.

Clark couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, I'm not going to skip the process," he said, sitting on the bed beside him, and beckoning to Audrey.

Audrey walked over with a little dissatisfaction. "Right?"

But he looks like he just wants to skip the proposal.Audrey thought, although she didn't really mind...it's weird!James proposed to Natasha, Hank proposed to Raven, and Tony proposed to Pepper. Regardless of whether they got married in the end, every couple she knew who was going to enter the auditorium had a proposal.Could it be that Clark is going to enroll directly?All right.save time.also.

"No, I don't, I really don't." Clark said sincerely, took Audrey's hands and made her sit down on the bed, then turned to one side, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and took out the long-prepared diamond ring from behind .

Audrey opened her eyes wide.Audrey was stunned.

Clark pursed his lower lip.He was actually worried about something that was clearly guaranteed to succeed.Holding the diamond ring box, he smiled at Audrey with an uneasy smile.

"I want to marry you. I want to take care of you and Brandon. I want to be your man forever. I love you and I will always love you. Will you, Audrey."

Audrey stared at Clark, silent for about two seconds.Even though it was only two seconds, Clark assured that his somatosensory time had passed two centuries.

"Very good. That's what you said." Audrey nodded, picked up the ring and put it on automatically, raised her hand and looked at the light for a while.

"Do you like it?" Clark carefully observed Audrey's expression.

Audrey glanced at Clark, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I like you better."

At this moment, Clark's feelings are complicated... If you want to say joy, Audrey actually spoke love words to him!If he was at a loss, it was because Audrey just teased him casually, and he became hard.If you want to talk about embarrassment, um, that is, just after proposing, he had a physical reaction to his fiancée...

God.Clark wanted to bury himself with the quilt.

Audrey's attention was on the ring and necklace, and she didn't notice Clark's strangeness at all.She touched the ring cautiously, leaned against Clark's chest, and asked awkwardly: "I can wear the ring every day, but do I also need the necklace? If I put the necklace away for maintenance, will it appear disrespectful?"

"Probably not." Clark was absent-minded.He was wondering if he was in a hurry to go to bed right after the proposal was successful, would it be too... The purpose is not clear.

"One more thing, I think we should discuss it carefully. Regarding Lynn, I know you broke up very thoroughly. The problem is that the general public thinks that she is still your girlfriend. I don't really hope that someday in the future, Lynn will be killed. It was put in because she was Louise Lane, but I was kept out, so things would be very embarrassing..."

"You're right, I understand." Clark was lost in thought.He was thinking, that pearl necklace is really sexy on Audrey, the pearls set off her white skin, if it can plant a hickey on it...

"Clark? Are you listening to me?"

"what?"

Audrey frowned and turned around. She was a little unhappy at first, but then she looked down.

Clark looked at Audrey innocently.watch.just watch.

"...Please tell me it's because you really want a second child. Right, Clark."

Clark smiled, and threw Audrey happily on the bed.

"I'll take that as your yes," he said.Then start.
