I almost ruled the world

[one]

With the new year approaching, Martha and Jonathan started preparing for Clark and Brianna early.

Even Jonathan, who is not good at cooking, helps Martha in the kitchen during such festivals.

Martha, who was about to finish the work, let out a long breath, then turned her head to look like Jonathan, "When did they say they will come?"

"Wait a minute." Jonathan put on his glasses, but after putting them on, he still squinted his eyes and looked at the screen on the phone, "Er... they said five minutes ago that they would leave immediately."

"Leaving immediately?" Martha couldn't help raising her voice, she was a little annoyed, "Isn't it going to arrive tomorrow—"

Before the words were finished, there was a sudden vibration of airflow outside the house that could not be ignored, and even the windows shook.

Martha followed Jonathan out of the house, and saw Clark and Brianna had already appeared at the door.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then stretched out her hands in surprise and walked towards them, "Jonathan clearly said that you were only ready to leave 5 minutes ago, I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow!"

Brianna smiled and hugged Martha, then turned her head and hugged Jonathan, "I can fly! So I flew back with Clark."

Jonathan paused, and met Martha's eyes in surprise, "You tried for a long time but failed..."

Seeing Brianna walk to Clark's side, wrapping her arms around his waist affectionately, "Clark taught me~"

When she wrapped her hands around Clark, he felt a little nervous for a moment, staring closely at the expressions on the faces of Martha and Jonathan. After all, he was afraid that the farmer couple who had lived in Kansas all their lives would not be able to accept this matter. .

But what is very strange is that after seeing Brianna and Clark being so close, Martha smiled on her face, and even Jonathan looked relieved.

Clark: ...?

Feeling that everyone seemed to ignore this matter, Clark, who was a little nervous, walked in together.

Several people walked into the living room, the dinner made by Martha was still steaming, and Brianna sat next to Clark, chatting with everyone while eating, with a serious look.

But all Clark's attention was on Brianna's hand, which rested on his lap naturally at an angle that Martha and Jonathan could not see, and would rub his hands from time to time when they were chatting happily. Down.

"Cough cough." Clark was a little distressed, and while he was coughing lightly as a cover, he carefully removed Brianna's hand.

Brianna didn't make a fuss, but in the middle of the chat, she gave him a hard look with an unfriendly look.

Clark silently looked away, pretending nothing happened.

On Christmas Eve, the family after dinner sat together to watch a slightly boring soap opera.

Clark suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was a bit familiar, but when he turned his head, he saw Jonathan with a look of disgust and Brianna with relish.

He occasionally has a false feeling that he doesn't deserve all this goodness.

But now that everything happened in front of his eyes, Clark was overwhelmed with satisfaction.

correct.

He still remembered the decision he made before he came, and Clark was going to tell Martha and Jonathan about it.

Under the eyes of everyone with different expressions, the embarrassed Clark finally did not say what he wanted to announce.

Brianna, who was looking forward to it, was full of anger at this time, and ran out directly by herself.

"What's going on?" Martha looked at Brianna's back with some doubts, "Today is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is her birthday."

"I'll go out and have a look." Clark didn't have time to say anything, so he hurried after him.

Jonathan and Martha looked at each other, and after a moment, he said, "Anna seems to be angry."

"Why are you angry?" Martha was obviously very puzzled by this, she walked to the window, narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction where the two were.

……

"I knew you were just talking!" Brianna looked angry, and she said to Clark, "I don't even know what you care about?"

"Or is it false to even love me?"

Clark grabbed her fidgety wrist, "You know that's not the case, I'm just afraid they're not ready yet..."

"You don't plan to say it, so how can they be prepared?"

He knew that if he didn't interrupt her at this moment, the sharp-tongued Brianna would get meaner and meaner, and eventually he would blow himself out.

Clark had no choice but to hold her cool body in his arms.

"Let me go!" Brianna looked up at him stubbornly, but she seemed hurt inside and out of the words, "Don't try to fool around like this, and, now, are you not afraid that they will see it?"

He sighed helplessly, but held her tighter.

……

On a winter night, it was extremely dark outside the window.

Martha looked around for a while, and finally saw the figures of the two in front of a cornfield swaying in the wind.

"...!" However, she suddenly covered her mouth in surprise, which attracted Jonathan, who hadn't paid much attention to it, to come over to check.

"Um, dear." Martha came back to her senses, looked at her husband behind her and hesitated, not sure whether he should be allowed to see what was happening at this moment.

Jonathan's eyesight wasn't as bad, seeing too much intimacy in the fields, and even...wait a minute!

Why are they still kissing?

He drew the curtains and tried to cover Martha's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Martha was one step ahead of him, standing in front of him to block him, trying to make him go back to the living room and continue watching TV.

"..."

"..."

"The child is getting older."

"Yes."

"..."

"..."

"It's actually not that bad."

"Who said it wasn't."

"..."

"..."

Jonathan and Martha looked at each other again.

After a while, the two walked to the sofa in silence, watching TV absent-mindedly together very rarely, but they were thinking about the same thing in their hearts.

It's just that when the Christmas bells strike, neither Clark nor Brianna return.

Obviously, it was a long Christmas Eve for everyone in the Kent family.

[two]

Brianna was wearing professional attire and high heels, walked up the stairs briskly, and then opened the door smoothly.

It was already very late at this time, and she had been working overtime until now before coming back.

Seeing her expression, Clark frowned, took the things in her hand and hung them up, then fondled her cheek and kissed the corner of her lips, "I made your favorite food."

But in fact it was more than that. Seeing the candlelight on the table, Brianna knew that he had prepared it meticulously and had waited for her for a long time.

Thinking of this, the anger in Brianna calmed down.

She took off the disguise on her face, suddenly pursed her mouth, and looked at him deeply, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Even though Clark shook her head, Brianna still complained to herself, "The damn senator, actually said that a woman can't be his chief of staff? Especially me, an unmarried yellow-haired girl... Ridiculous! That old man thought he Who planned all the activities? If there were no people around, I would have punched him a long time ago."

Clark froze when she said a word, but Brianna didn't notice.

And after this episode, the romantic atmosphere that Clark had carefully prepared was obviously destroyed.

Brianna was starving, and it was late at night when she came home, devouring her food, Clark frowned a little distressed, he really didn't think this was a good time to talk about something serious.

So Clark decided to wait a while.

However, after eating dinner and taking a shower, he watched Brianna sitting on the bedside desk insulting her boss, the Senator, while continuing to type, and wanted to punch that person for a moment.

After eleven o'clock, with a "snap", Brianna finally closed the computer, went straight to Clark, and sat on Clark's lap under his surprised gaze.

"Bligh?" Clark tried to calm himself down, "Maybe you need to rest earlier."

"Take a break?" Brianna raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "No, I just sent a resignation email."

"Resign?" Clark was even more surprised, he frowned, "But you..."

Brianna held his slashed face with both hands, and leaned forward slowly, "I can achieve my goal in another way. Who told him to make me unhappy, and make you always wait for me to worry about me? -"

But suddenly, she paused, and lowered her head in doubt, "By the way, what's in your trouser pocket, so disgusting?"

"Uh." Clark opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while, Brianna who was sitting in front of him already made it difficult for him to maintain his sanity, and he had no idea what happened at this time. Unprepared.

But Brianna didn't care about this, she reached out and took out the small box in Clark's trousers pocket.

She looked at the dark box, then at Clark who was obviously a little nervous in front of her, and then opened it without giving him any time to react.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light hit Brianna's face, and a beautiful ring lay tightly in it.

After Brianna realized what was in the box, she closed it again with a "snap" and stared at Clark with wide eyes.

Clark obviously didn't expect the ring to appear in front of Brianna so suddenly, which made him close his eyes annoyed, "No, Bligh... this shouldn't be like this! I specially prepared a surprise, but I realized that It's not a good time today, so I canceled-"

He looked away dejectedly, "This is too bad."

"Pfft, it seems that I made a very correct choice."

Seeing Clark like this, Brianna suddenly couldn't help laughing, she bent her eyes happily, carefully took out the ring inside, and put it on her ring finger.

"It's really suitable. Have you measured it secretly?" She said, wrapping her arms around Clark's neck.

But before Clark could answer, Brianna whispered in his ear again, "Tomorrow is Saturday, and I don't have to work overtime anymore, so..."

Unknowingly, the breaths of the two gradually became heavy and hot, and the hands around Brianna's waist were tightened. His eyes were deep, but she could clearly see himself with flushed cheeks.

"I want to sleep with you all night with the ring on."

[three]

Brianna slowly opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on Clark's chest.

But she didn't know whether it was because she was still a little confused just after waking up, or because of some other reason, she frowned and sat up, as if she was thinking about something.

She had another "nightmare".

This time, the dream was as real as if he had really experienced it.

No—Brianna turned her head to look at Clark behind him, his eyelashes fluttering, as if he was about to wake up.

Is she so powerful?Go back in time?

But anyway, to Brianna, that seemed like a century ago.

The pain seemed to dissipate as well, especially in front of the man in front of him, it became even more insignificant.

The blue eyes gradually focused clearly, and quickly chased where Brianna was.

"What's the matter?" He touched her smooth back, "Be careful of catching a cold."

Brianna froze, and the memory gathered at this time, she turned her head and looked at him with an inquiring gaze.

In the past, why did Clark, who always seemed so weird and kept away from him, suddenly choose to agree to be with her?

She remembers describing her "nightmare" at the time.

Is it...

At this time, Clark also noticed something was wrong.

He stood up and looked at Brianna, who had a complicated expression but said nothing. He was obviously so weird, but his instinct told him that she was clearly still his Bligh.

"—Is that nightmare real?"

"—do you remember?"

The two words blurted out almost at the same time.

Then, Brianna and Clark fell silent.

She flinched and looked at him with some fear, "No."

Brianna pulled up the quilt and buried herself in it as if nothing had happened.

Clark watched her wrap herself in the quilt and sighed heavily.

"It's true," he replied.

"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen..." Brianna sat up suddenly from the quilt again, staring at him with wide eyes in disbelief, "Why are you telling me it's true! Pretending to be the same as before okay?"

"It's all over..." Clark paused, then heaved a long sigh, "Everything has changed, hasn't it?"

His hand touched Briana's chest. "And the hole there is filled, isn't it?"

Briana looked down at his hands, then up at Clark.

In fact, no matter how real it is, she has never happened to Brianna at this moment. Those pains are only a kind of projection, making her feel the same at the moment of dreaming.

What about Clark?

If what he said was true, then Clark had experienced all the pain she couldn't imagine, and it was tightly wrapped around him without a solution.

Moreover, no matter how you think about it, it's her fault.

If it would make Clark so painful, she would rather they never knew each other in the past.

Brianna was indeed filled.

But the price he paid was so heavy.

"Sorry." She murmured, and then stared at him with dark eyes, "If I never said that, then I would like to keep telling you now."

Clark smiled.

It seems to have been relieved of this.

He kissed the corner of Brianna's eye lightly.

"I've already had the apology I thought of."
