Jonathan woke up early the next morning. He didn't want Clark to sense that anything was wrong so he went out to work in the barn that way Clark would think that everything was back to normal. Before going to school, Clark went over to his dad.
"Hey dad is everything alright? Cause if you want me to I'll stay home today and help."
"No Clark you shouldn't miss school. Everything will be fine trust me."
Clark looked at his father; he knew he was lying to him. He wished he could just find out once and for all what was going on between his parents. For as long as he could remember, everyone told him that his parents were the most loved couple in Smallville. But now he didn't even think his parents loved each other anymore.
Jonathan watched as Clark left for school. He wanted to make sure the Clark wasn't around when he decided to go to Metropolis. He couldn't imagine how he would explain to Clark that he was going to see what his mother was up to.
Later that day Jonathan drove to Metropolis and to Lionel's office. He looked in the parking lot and saw that Martha's car was there. "Good" he thought to himself. "Now I'll just pay a surprise visit to Lionel and Martha."
Jonathan found Lionel's office and was a little bit hesitant before knocking. There was no answer and he knocked again. He turned the knob and the door opened. What he saw was something he did expect to see but was hoping he didn't see it. But there he saw Martha with Lionel.
iUn-break my heart Say you'll love me again Un-do this hurt you caused/i
Jonathan quickly closed the door. All he wanted to do was just get out of that building. He was walking quickly to the exit until he heard someone call for him.
"Dad?" Jonathan turned around surprised to hear Clark's voice.
"Clark why aren't you in school?"
"I was worried about you dad. When I got to school I came back to the farm just in time to see you leaving." Clark looked at his father.
"Dad what's wrong?"
"Nothing Clark. Just go home."
"Dad is it mom?"
"Clark please just get out of here."
"No dad. I want you to tell me what's going on. And why are you here in Lionel's building?"
"Look Clark. I had a feeling that your mother was with Lionel"
"You mean as in more than just working together right?" Clark asked.
Jonathan nodded. "I decided to come here and see and also hoping that I was wrong."
"But you weren't were you."
"No I wasn't Clark. I walked in on them….." Jonathan couldn't even go on. He wanted to get that image out of his mind.
"So they are having sex?" Clark asked even though he knew the answer.
Clark knew his father was in no condition to drive back home, not after what he saw. After he drove back home with Jonathan, he too obviously was in no mood to go back to school. And Jonathan, after what he just saw, told Clark that it was fine if he just stayed home.
Jonathan went up to the bedroom and stared at his and Martha's wedding picture. He shook his head knowing that he was indeed losing Martha to Lionel. He had his proof now.
iDon't leave me here with these tears Come and kiss this pain away /i
Jonathan laid back on the bed thinking of what was to come next. Martha would be home later that night and he would have to talk to her. But how would he talk to her he wondered. He closed his eyes but soon opened them again. Every time he would close his eyes he would see that disgusting image of his wife, the woman he loved more than anything in this world, with Lionel Luthor.
