I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Hey Dad, I have some good news for you!

Can you guess what it is?

Haha! You're going to be a grandfather!

Is Mom home?

Let her answer the phone! Don't tell her yet!

Because I want to tell her this good news in person!

"Hey! Mom! Listen to me first, don't get excited, prepare yourself mentally..."

Just as Clark was making the call to share the good news, Lana slowly retreated to the outside of the door.

Then, with their backs against the wall, they slowly slid down.

Until he squatted down on the ground,

Finally, she buried her face deeply between her knees.

……

……

In a dark space,

Hundreds of monitors were arranged in a dense array.

The content displayed on the monitor consisted entirely of images of Clark taken from various angles.

And the scene in every corner of his house.

In front of each monitor sat a person with a blank expression.

Among them were both men and women, all staring intently at the screens in front of them, their expressions as cold as machines.

Behind them, above, was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and behind the window stood a figure.

If Clark were here, he would recognize this person as his good brother.

Lex Luthor.

Chapter 128 Let Him Go

The next day, the sea was calm.

On the deck, Lex was working absentmindedly when Clark suddenly appeared and hurriedly pulled him aside.

I have great news for you!!

Lana said yes to my proposal! And I'm going to be a dad soon!

Clark spoke excitedly, patting Lex's shoulder repeatedly.

It seems he wanted to share his joy with his good brother in this way.

"Oh, really... haha,"

Congratulations, Clark.

Lex's eyes were slightly complicated, and his well wishes sounded somewhat perfunctory, as if he had something on his mind.

Clark paused for a moment,

The other party's reaction was somewhat different from what he had expected.

"Hey bro, what's wrong?"

He stopped smiling, reached out and hooked his arm around Lex's shoulder, then shook him forcefully a few times.

Just like the two of them often do.

"You should be happy for me, why do you look so preoccupied?"

What happened?

"No, it's nothing..."

Lex shook his head and, in turn, put his hand on Clark's shoulder and shook him vigorously a few times.

"I'm truly happy for you! Best wishes, Clark!"

He said with a smile, his tone matching his eyes.

They were all full of sincerity.

"Thank you!"

A smile returned to Clark's face.

He knew that his good brother would be happy for him too.

Then, he excitedly told Lex how happy he was when Lana agreed to marry him.

Then, upon learning that he was about to become a father, he was so excited that he felt like he was going crazy.

He has already discussed the wedding date and location with Lana's family and his own parents.

Just a few days later, it will be held in the town's church, and many people will attend.

In addition, he wanted Lex to be his best man, and the latter agreed without hesitation.

However, Clark still felt that something was off about Lex today.

During their conversation, a strange expression would occasionally flash between his brows.

It feels like they're struggling with something.

They grew up together and know each other as well as family.

Clark immediately concluded that the other person must have something on their mind.

He temporarily set aside the topic of the wedding, looked Lex in the eye, and asked seriously:

"Lex, what's wrong with you?"

You're acting strangely today. What happened? Do you need my help?

Faced with Clark's sincere gaze, Lex hesitated several times before speaking.

But in the end, he looked away, turning to gaze at the distant sea, and murmured as if to himself:

Clark,

If one day I betray you, what will you do?

Lex's unusual behavior puzzled Clark even more, and he looked at him strangely and asked:

"Why are you bringing this up? Do you still have feelings for Lana?"

Lex looked somewhat taken aback.

"Of course not, I gave up on it a long time ago."

"So what exactly are you trying to say? Did you drink first thing in the morning?"

Lex shook his head, then turned to look into the distance without saying anything.

Clark glanced at him and muttered to himself, "What a weirdo."

The sea breeze gently caressed their faces, and after a while,

Lex suddenly spoke up again:

"You asked me before what Metropolis was like, and you even said you wanted to go there and try your luck."

Do you still want to go?

Although he didn't know why he suddenly brought this up, Clark thought about it seriously and then answered his question.

"Lex, that's just a dream."

I'm about to start a family and become a father soon. I need to take on the responsibilities of a family.

Be a good father, a good husband, and a good son.

I no longer need those unrealistic things.

Upon hearing this, Lex gave him a deep, complex look, then, as if making a decision, prepared to say something.

"Clark, I..."

"Hey! Clark! What are you doing over there? Come help me!"

"Come right away!"

Clark turned around and responded, then patted Lex on the shoulder.

"Let's talk about it after we finish the work."

Then he ran over to help.

Interrupted, Lex could only swallow the words in his throat, his eyes filled with guilt as he watched Clark's busy figure.
