Seeing that his father and two brothers were persuading him, Clark fell silent and said, "I'll think about it."
With those words, he quickly finished his dinner and went upstairs.
Father and sons sighed at the sight.
Mike gave Charles a piece of meat and said, "Eat up, I'll talk to him later, if he really doesn't want to go, we won't force him."
Charles muttered, "I was thinking that maybe the three of us brothers might get to go together this time."
"You guys?" Mike raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't this the prom?"
"But we have other people invited." Charles winked and said, "Eric and I have been invited by our graduating sisters."
Eric nodded, a little excited, "I hear it'll be fun."
Mike stared at the two with eyes full of suspicion, "Oh, really?"
"Ahem!" Charles blushed and said, "Dad, what are you thinking about? Nothing's going to happen, it's just going to be food and dancing."
Eric nodded and said, "I wouldn't have said yes to that schoolgirl if I didn't want to go to the ball."
Mike looked at the two men suspiciously and half-heartedly brushed them off, saying, "Don't mess around, I don't want to be a grandfather in a year."
"Dad!" Charles looked at Mike with wide eyes and said, "What are you thinking with your mind, I really think it's time to go and wash it."
"Pop!"
Mike hit Charles on the head with the fork and said, "Brat!"
"Hehe!"
Charles covered his head and grinned as he took a mouthful of rice.
"Dad, we're going to the ball and we need clothes."
Eric said, added, "Something a little more formal."
"No problem. When's the ball?"
"The day after tomorrow."
Mike mused, "Tomorrow, then, we'll go shopping in town."
"Dad! I love you so much!"
Charles smiled happily and gave Mike a wink.
Mike looked at him with a cringed face and said, "Don't use that on me, I'm not one of those little girls."
"Hahahaha!"
Eric laughed and slapped the table, saying, "Dad, how did you know that Charles was using that on those guys?"
Mike shrugged and said, "Don't forget, I raised you all, I know that you were going to fart before you even think about it."
"Hahah~".
"Okay, come on, eat!" Mike knocked on the table and said, "Then you guys clean up the dishes afterwards."
The two of them nodded.
A few moments later, Mike finished his meal and headed upstairs, standing at Clark's door, raising his finger to knock when he paused and thought about what he was going to say before knocking again.
Clark opened the door and said helplessly, "Dad, you ..."
Mike smiled and walked in, looking at the books thrown on the bed, sighed and said, "Have you decided what college you're going to?"
Clark had a lot of options with his good grades and had already gotten a lot of offers from schools.
"I picked a place closer to home."
"Harvard?"
"Yeah."
Clark nodded and said, "It's pretty nice there."
Mike smiled, looking at the young man in front of his face with great satisfaction.
He was handsome, with blue eyes and soft black hair, and he's also a good student, polite and gentle, and with a bit of... Handsomeness...
Well, who's their father?
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Clark waved his hand in front of Mike's face.
Mike snapped back, "I'm going with Charles and Eric tomorrow to buy clothes for the ball, why don't you come along?"
Clark said hesitantly, "Dad, I've been thinking about it, but I'd rather not go to it."
"Yes, but think about it, there's only one prom and you won't get a second one if you miss it."
"I ..."
"I thought you said that you wanted to experience the life of a normal high school student?"
Clark hesitated a little, remembering that he hadn't had much contact with his classmates at all in school, and said stiffly to Mike, "Dad, prom dates are hard to come by these days, most of them were already taken half a month ago."
Mike patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, maybe there will be a girl in your situation that day and you'll make a pair."
With that said, Mike saw that Clark was still hesitant and coughed gently, leaning in close to Clark and whispering, "Are you just afraid of ... the action scene?"
The corners of Clark's eyes popped and the corners of his mouth twitched up frantically as he said angrily, "Dad!"
"Hahahaha!"
Mark laughed dryly and said to Clark, "Don't worry, you just have to be gentle... "
Clark blushed and said angrily, "I've already sorted it out!"
Mike was stunned, patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "Good for you!"
Clark: "..."
"Then it's settled, we'll go together tomorrow."
With that, and without waiting for Clark to object, Mike walked out of the room, closing the door behind him, then noticing a crack in the room across the hall, and hooked his fingers in that direction.
Charles and Eric laughed as they pulled the door open and stepped out.
"Dad! How's it going?"
"It's done, we're going tomorrow!"
"Yeah!"
The two men cheered.
Eric said, "When we get to the party, the three of us will have the whole dance floor to ourselves!"
Charles laughed and said, "But I'm not giving up KING's spot."
Every year at the prom, the King and Queen of the prom are chosen.
Eric squinted and clasped his arms, "Ha, just you?"
Looking Charles up and down, he said with disdain, "Shorty!"
There was a height difference between the two because of personal developmental issues, even though they were twins.
Charles gritted his teeth and said, "Then we'll see on the day of the ball!"
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
The two men grunted softly and turned to walk back to their respective rooms.
The two brothers, who had been in the same room for fourteen years, finally slept separately a year ago at the strong request of them.
Mike went downstairs, made himself a cup of coffee and went back to his room and sat down at his desk.
With a thought, a blank card appeared instantly, and then he cupped it and began to manifest it.
Two hours later, a new card appeared.
On the card, above the endless frost, stood a man with a lazy face.
Mike put the card away and took a closer look at the system, which he hadn't seen in a long time.
After being almost screwed by the system, Mike would take a good look at it after a while, so that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage if something new appeared and he didn't notice it.
After checking the system carefully and seeing nothing new, Mike was relieved.
