2143 Side Story: Lazy Vacation 2

Luke waved with a smile and gestured for her to step back. He first released the soundproofing before he opened the window.

Swoos.h.!.+

The little kid was as nimble as a small fish. She scuttled in through the window, jumped over the kitchen counter, and landed on the floor.

She raised her head, her red mouth wide open. “Aaa~ mu~”

Luke stuffed a steamed siu mai into her mouth to stop her chirping like a baby bird for food.

Robert didn’t come inside, but waved at Luke to come out.

Luke ushered his sister to the dining table and placed a huge stack of steamers in front of her. “Alright, Cindy, I made your favorite siu mai, shrimp dumplings, pork buns, egg yolk buns, chicken porridge and fish porridge. Eat slowly, and remember to give Gold Nugget half.”

Cindy nodded quickly. She had already picked up a pair of chopsticks with each hand, and was wielding both pairs deftly as she picked food for herself with one hand and food for Gold Nugget with the other.

One person and one dog attacked the warm food in the steamers fiercely.

Rubbing her head lovingly, Luke then picked up two steamers of pork buns and walked outside.

Putting the steamers on the table and sitting down in a rocking chair on the porch, he picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth. “Why are you acting all mysterious?”

Robert unceremoniously stuffed two buns into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed them to stave off his hunger for the time being.

Then, he leaned in close and said in the tone of a villain from a spy movie, “You and Selina are sleeping together. What about Jenny?”

Luke turned around in surprise. “You’re already bored enough to care about my private life?”

Robert wasn’t angry at all. After all, it had been a long time since he interfered in Luke’s affairs.

He picked up another bun. “Catherine has been nagging me for the past few days. What can I do? Your chairman… Tsk, tsk. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll turn you back into a pauper in a fit of anger?”

Luke calmly swallowed the bun he was chewing on and replied to Robert’s question, “Don’t worry. She doesn’t have the courage.”

Robert raised an eyebrow. “You have a backup plan? Don’t tell me it’s that female bodyguard called Angel?”

Robert was good. He could even tell that Angel was a little strange around Luke. Luke was really surprised.

Unfortunately, he was far off the mark.

The person Angel acknowledged was V, and had nothing to do with Luke himself.

Angel was most likely astonished by Luke’s… skills? Or endurance?

The way she looked at and spoke to him was like she was a.s.sessing some sort of livestock – it was impossible for her to fall for Luke.

Based on this tough woman’s understanding, Luke looked like a sissy.

She didn’t mock Luke to his face because she had seen his ‘glorious achievements’ as a detective.

Could a detective who had killed hundreds of tough criminals and gang members, and even helped Iron Man and Batman, be a sissy?

Of course not.

Angel was unhappy with Luke’s two-timing behavior because of her deep friends.h.i.+p with Jenny.

However, Jenny said bluntly, “If I’m the only woman he has, he’ll tire me to death.”

Although it was mostly a joke, Angel had to admit that it made sense.

In any case, every time she met Luke, she couldn’t make up her mind whether to take action or not.

Given the situation, her att.i.tude toward Luke was a little strange, and it wasn’t unusual for an old hand like Gray Rabbit to pick up on it.

As for Robert’s worries, they were unnecessary.

Luke had never used Pheromone Control to twist the minds of those around him, but his physique, which was 200 times that of an ordinary person, was beyond Robert’s imagination.

Thanks to the various resources and abilities that Luke had acc.u.mulated, Robert, this old thing, was still only five times stronger than an ordinary person.

It was a good thing that Catherine wasn’t the compet.i.tive sort, or as someone who was also five times stronger, she would’ve mocked Robert for the rest of his life.

In addition to his wife, Robert couldn’t beat anyone else in his family.

Naturally, he couldn’t understand why Luke, who had 40 times more stamina than he did, would have the guts to find a few girlfriends.

For Luke, even a hundred ordinary women wouldn’t make a dent in his strength — provided that he didn’t have to think about how much time it would consume.

He was indeed with Jenny, Elena and Max because he had feelings for them.

It was just that it wasn’t love, and more like friends.h.i.+p.

But a great man once said that there was no such thing as pure friends.h.i.+p between a man and a woman.

Luke had just added a slightly more intimate connection to this ‘friends.h.i.+p’ network.

Otherwise, Chairman Jenny wouldn’t have watched him and Selina ‘cohabitate’ for so long, and Elena would have asked him about his female friends.

Jenny didn’t trust marriage at all because her father had deliberately hidden the fact that he had a mistress when her mother had been critically ill.

Now that she had a ‘partner’ whom she absolutely trusted, she was disinclined to look for ‘true love.’

There had been too many men who wanted to look for ‘true love’ with her over the years. Unfortunately, this ‘true love’ was either of her money or power.

Few people coveted her body, which was a painful reality.

Elena, on the other hand, was the cla.s.sic artist.

Since the beginning, she had been drawn to Luke’s mysterious and contradictory qualities. She would rather keep this status quo than let him become an ordinary boyfriend.

Max? Sorry, this G-cup baker’s boyfriend had always been that handsome man called ‘Chris Evans.’

This handsome man was just one of Luke’s clones.

Thus, the sa.s.sy baker had no contact with Luke’s circle; even Selina didn’t know of her existence.

As an old and naive man, Robert naturally didn’t know about what went on behind the scenes.

Seeing Luke shake his head, he couldn’t help but remind him, “Sandra also asked when you and Selina are going to have kids. What do you think I should say?”

Luke’s calm finally cracked and he rolled his eyes hard. “Didn’t they already have another one? Aren’t six kids enough for them to worry about?”

“They like lots of kids. What can they do?” Robert shrugged. “Stop changing the subject. How are you going to solve this problem?”

There was nothing he could do.

As a man and Luke’s elder, he actually didn’t care how many girlfriends Luke had.

But being stuck between his wife and his ‘in-laws,’ who were clearly biased toward different women, was a headache.

Jenny had used all sorts of ways to win his wife’s favor.

Hence, Catherine naturally leaned toward Jenny.

Catherine couldn’t let Luke kick Selina out of the picture, but she didn’t want him to kick Jenny out either.

It wasn’t like she couldn’t accept the choice of ‘all of them.’

But Sandra could only stand on her daughter’s side, and wouldn’t compromise.

Luke was speechless.

Before 2003, Selina’s family’s financial situation was very ordinary, and they only had four children.

After that, Selina rose through the ranks with Luke, and her parents put their energy into their newly bought ranch.

It wasn’t until he encouraged his grandfather, Drax, to create a joint ranch with Selina’s parents and let them leave their positions as laborers that the elders suddenly had a lot of free time.

Drax had cars, guns and a granddaughter. Nothing much had changed.

Mario and Sandra’s ‘pa.s.sion,’ on the other hand, was reignited, and they had two more kids in ten years.

This wasn’t a high rate, but it wasn’t low either.

Moreover, Selina had given her parents Life 1 without their knowing, and their bodies would still be as robust for another 30 to 50 years.

Even if there was only one kid every five years, that was still another six to ten more younger siblings in the future for Selina.

Adding them to her current five siblings, the family could totally put a soccer team together by then, even with subst.i.tute players.

Luke scratched his head when he thought of this possibility. How could they take care of so many children? Did they have to devote an hour to each kid every day?

At a conservative estimate, he and Selina had a natural lifespan of more than 500 years. At a rate of one kid every five years, they could give birth to two football teams — the kind with a complete subst.i.tute lineup.

Of course, that wouldn’t be the case in reality.

Their bodies were so strong to the point that it would mostly be a matter of luck if they wanted to have children. Besides, they were both ‘kids’ themselves.

Ordinary people on Earth had a lifespan of 110 to 120 years. Excluding accidents and irresponsible behavior, it was normal for Europeans and Americans to have children between the ages of 20 and 30.

In comparison, Luke and Selina were about five or six years old in terms of an ordinary lifespan; they really were ‘kids.’

Who on Earth would urge a five- or six-year-old child to produce a new generation? Wasn’t that illegal?!

Even as he mocked Mario and Sandra in his heart, Luke simply spread his hands in front of Robert. “We’re still dating right now. Having children will stop us from enjoying our two-person world. There’s no need for those two to worry about us – isn’t it enough for them to worry about their own newborn?”

“Dating?” Robert looked at Luke strangely.

“Yeah.” Luke nodded.

“Two-person world?” Robert emphasized.

“Is there a third person in this villa at night?” Luke asked righteously.

Robert: …Fine, there really isn’t.

Although Luke’s words were lame, lame words were usually the most inexplicable.

The reason why Sandra was urging them to have children was a sociocultural thing.

People with too few children were likely to wind up alone in their middle or old age.

Having more children also decreased the risk of your bloodline dying out.

But Luke resolved this issue in the most typical American fas.h.i.+on.

After all, it was normal for people in their thirties or forties in Europe and America to not have children; they wouldn’t be considered odd for this.
