It's so in character that Clark who willingly helps others, especially Lois, is reluctant to take help even from her.
“I’m sorry, honey. I think your offer to help is wonderful.”
“Clark, don’t you see? If we’re going to be married, we’re going to be a team. Teams work together. And that money will become ours. Everything I have will become yours. Just as I would hope you’d consider everything that’s yours becomes mine.”
“I do, Lois. I do.” Clark took a half step toward her. “Including my son,” he whispered.
“Especially your son. He will be my responsibility just as he’s yours. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“I know. And I am so sorry I said that. I hurt you the same way I did the other day when I told you no one asked you to be his mom. Truth is, Lois, I *want* you to be.”
“I want to be, too, Clark. Part of that is sending him to a good school and using our savings to pay for it. Please… let’s do this.”
“Yes.” He reached out to take her hands. “Lois, I really think it would be wonderful if *we* paid for it…”
“With *our* savings,” she stated once more to be absolutely certain they were in agreement.
Clark smiled down at her. “With our savings,” he agreed.
“Thank you,” she told him as her arms went around his neck.
I am so sorry for Robin. He must have been very rough time in foster homes, if he can't stand normal arguing between Lois and Clark.
He is always pushed away from one foster home to the next, so his solution is to leave the problem and the people behind him.
