Chapter 3640: Bat Night Banquet (Part )
"God, Alfred, I don't know what I would do without you!" Thomas and Alfred hugged each other tightly, and then said, "This is indeed a great place. It perfectly restores Wayne Manor shortly after Bruce was born. But it's just an empty shell, and there are too many things to do."
Martha came down from upstairs and said, "There are no servants here. We have to do everything ourselves. I just picked out my dress for the party, but I remembered that the flowers on the banquet table have not been taken care of yet. I hope the moisture won't wrinkle my silk shirt."
"Leave it to me, ma'am," Alfred said with a smile.
"We originally contacted a few people and asked them to come and help in advance. But those little bastards haven't shown up yet..."
"Here I am! Dad!" Bruce walked in from the gate of the manor and said, "And I brought some great news!"
Thomas and Martha both looked at him. Bruce held out his hand and waved it, saying, "Look what this is?"
Martha was dazzled by him and didn't see any changes in his hand. She had to walk up and grab Bruce's arm, and then she saw clearly that there was a silver ring on his middle finger.
"Jesus, really?" Martha said with a slightly exaggerated drawl, "If you dare to say this is a Christmas joke, I will plant you in the Christmas tree pot!"
"Of course not, Mom. Selena said yes to my proposal! We're engaged! Do you know where I came from? A vacation home in Canada! We spent most of the day just by ourselves, it was wonderful!"
Thomas came over with some interest and asked, "Where did you propose? Wayne Manor?"
"I'm not that old-fashioned. I went to the theater where she worked and bribed her colleagues in advance..."
Martha patted his shoulder encouragingly, then glared at Thomas and said, "You don't want to know where your father proposed to you. My God, it was the biggest farce of the century..."
Thomas touched his nose. His eyes stayed on the ring on Bruce's hand, and then he said, "Why did you order a ring like this? It looks like silver. Even if it's an engagement ring, it should be platinum, right?"
"I think this is great." Bruce shook his hand again, then said, "But I secretly kept two diamonds of the most perfect quality and cut to be inlaid in our wedding rings. Selina will definitely like it."
"Are you planning on having a baby? Have you talked to Elsa about it?" Martha went straight to the point.
"Of course. We asked her before we left for Canada and she said she had no objection. I think she was more concerned about eating all the candy we gave her for Christmas within three days under Alfred's nose."
"Don't say that. Sometimes children say they don't mind and act like they don't understand anything, but in fact, they have their own ideas and just don't want to tell you. I think you still need to observe them for a while." Thomas warned.
"If it's a boy, you must not call him Little Thomas." Martha pulled Bruce's arm and said, "Thomas represents the eldest son, which may make Elsa unhappy. Maybe you can call him Bruce II..."
"Oh my god, it sounds like a British name." Bruce frowned in disgust, then said, "And I'm sure we won't have a boy. A prophet once said that we will have a lovely girl. When she is born, Queen Hera will become her godmother and bless her..."
"What nonsense you are talking about again." Martha shook her head helplessly, but as if she was used to it, she patted him on the back and said, "Now sprinkle some water on the petals and put the bottle on the table. Go."
The next person to come in was Bei Bat. He took off his coat, rubbed his hands and said, "This is the first time I know it snows here. Mom, it's summer over there."
Martha walked up to him, hugged him, and put her cheek against his. Then she said, "Your first priority now is to warm yourself by the fire and shave your beard. You know what? I just learned that one of you is engaged, but I didn't see a ring on your hand..."
Batman looked helplessly at Bruce who was walking towards the garden. He knew it would be like this. Bruce went crazy all night on Batman's channel yesterday, and even most of the Batmen who paid the most attention to collecting information blocked him.
When Bruce said he was going to be the first one to come today, they knew he was up to no good. The first ones to be affected were the Batmen without Damian. It would be even worse if they didn't even have a girlfriend.
Bei Bat thought he had arrived as early as possible, but he was still a step too late. But he was only a step too late. Bei Bat quickly slipped to the fireplace, warmed himself by the fire, and prepared to watch the jokes of others.
Unfortunately, the next person to come was Batman from the Wayne Family Adventure World. He also walked up to Martha and hugged her, shaking the bag in his hand and said, "Look what I brought?"
Martha took the bag and opened it, and found it was a pair of socks. The Great Adventure Batman smiled and said, "Every Christmas you put gifts in socks. When you are not around, the gifts will arrive as promised, but I know that the Santa Claus in those years was either Kent or Prince - it's time for the Wayne family's Santa Claus to return."
Martha immediately laughed and said, "Yes, but what you may not know is that most of the time, the Wayne family's Santa Claus is named Pennyworth. We are only responsible for preparing gifts."
"Alfred? Is he here?"
"Yes, he is in the garden. Go and say hello to him. I'm sure he's as good at it now as he was when he climbed through the window to put the presents in your room."
Then came the slightly silent main universe Batman. He hugged Martha and Thomas respectively and gave each of them a gift. Martha got a beautiful crystal necklace, while Thomas got a bottle of red wine.
The quiet and harmonious atmosphere ended when the roar of car engines and the roar of Tyrannosaurus Rex were heard at the gate of the manor.
Martha didn't bother to say more to her own son. She rushed to the door and shouted, "Wait! Don't come in yet, you two!"
If she had called out a second later, the Batman Rex's nose would have broken through the gate of Wayne Manor. Behind him was another Tyrannosaurus Rex - one of David's personalities, a female Tyrannosaurus Rex that could manipulate time - and they both obviously had good news to announce.
"Okay, okay. My only dinosaur baby son." Martha patted his nose helplessly and said, "I'll let Alfred take you to the garden, okay? You can't get in through the front door no matter how hard you try. When we built Wayne Manor, we didn't consider accommodating a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
Thomas went to say hello to the Batmobile, complimenting it on its beautiful new Christmas-themed paint, and then let him go around to the garden from the other side.
Thomas walked back to the front hall of the manor, looked at Martha helplessly and said, "Honey, are you sure these two can help?"
"Of course. At least it can serve as a scaffold. Alfred is so old, it's inhumane to ask him to move a three-meter ladder and climb up by himself!" Martha walked quickly to the back garden and handed the arrangement of the banquet hall to Thomas.
These Batmans who were invited in advance didn't help much. Bruce just helped put the vase, and after the fire, Batman went to the bathroom to tidy up his personal appearance. The most useful Batman was to use his height to help Alfred trim the fallen leaves.
Alfred did most of the work. Fortunately, in the Doujie, most things are exchanged for points, and after the exchange, they can appear directly at the designated location without the need for tedious transportation. This makes everything less difficult.
The entire Wayne Manor was renovated and renovated to look brand new, or it could be said that it was restored to its original state, completely returning to the time when Thomas and Martha had just gotten married. There was a huge Christmas tree in the middle of the living room, surrounded by gift boxes. There were Christmas wreaths everywhere on the doors, windows, and walls, and the carpets were also replaced with Christmas patterns. Decorations in the shape of deer and Santa Claus appeared on every table.
Batmen arrived one after another. None of them wore the black bat costumes. Most of them wore formal clothes with their hair trimmed meticulously. Some of them wore Christmas sweaters in a unique way. Each of them greeted and hugged Thomas and Martha.
Although everything seems peaceful and warm, when there are dozens of Batmen crammed into one room and they share the same parents, things will never go as smoothly as imagined.
Thomas and Martha sat at the main seat. As soon as Thomas raised his glass to give a speech, Martha narrowed her eyes and said, "Wait. There must be a minor among you, right? Minors, put down your glasses!"
None of the Batmen moved, they all thought they were adults, but this was obviously not the case. So Martha started to call out names one by one: "You. Yes, you. Even though you look strong, I can tell from your eyes that you are definitely not an adult. Go and replace his wine with juice!"
"And you. You must not be an adult yet. I'm your mother, don't try to fool me... and this car. Although you are an adult as Batman, you are probably only a few years old as a car. What do you want to do? Pour alcohol into your gas tank? It's illegal to drink and drive! Put the cup down!"
Under the pressure of Martha, the named Batman had to put down his glass in dismay. But the adult Batman raised his glass even higher. Although most Batmans have entered middle age, drinking in front of their parents as legal adults is still a matter of pride for them.
"All right," Thomas said, clearing his throat. "Martha and I didn't invite you here to preach. We just don't think it's right to spend Christmas alone with any of you, so we'll spend it together. Thank God, and have a happy Christmas together!"
"Happy Christmas!" the Batmen said as they raised their glasses.
