Sandra accepted his compliment with a smile, and the two hugged each other.
She patted his back and said, "You've gotten stronger."
Luke smiled and nodded: "Yeah, yeah, I'm still growing."
Sandra was speechless.
Luke winked at her, and the two walked into the house, whispering to each other for a long time. Sandra smiled and hit him several times: "You clever little ghost."
As she said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "If this is a marriage proposal, it seems more appropriate."
Luke's forehead was sweating when he heard this, and he laughed dryly twice: "Well, let's move the things first. Selina prepared a lot of gifts for you, and I haven't had time to return them."
A few minutes later, Luke got in the car again.
Sandra tried to persuade him again: "You really don't want to stay? You can go back after dinner."
Luke shook his head: "Haha, Katherine will be angry. Let's go, Sandra, see you tomorrow night."
After saying that, he said hello to the four siblings who were walking back over there, then drove away quickly.
As he pulled up in front of his house, he sighed with nostalgia: "Home, sweet home."
After getting off the bus, he had a suitcase in his hands, which contained gifts for his family.
He took out the room key that he hadn't used for a long time, opened the door, and walked in, just in time to make eye contact with a guy who was bending over to change his shoes.
He laughed, stretched out his hand and rubbed the head: "Haha, are you surprised?"
The other person was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Luke, why are you back! Ah ah!" Then he pounced on him and hung on him.
Luke smiled and hugged her. He hooked his feet back, closed the door, and walked inside with the bear-like thing in his arms: "What's wrong with coming back? It won't delay your trip out."
"Tsk, just make a phone call. It's just one of those boring pre-graduation parties anyway." She said, struggling to climb out of his arms and onto his back.
"Claire, you're going to make your best friend sad by saying that." Luke smiled and held her up with one hand to prevent her from falling.
This big baby bear is, of course, his sister Claire.
Claire was too lazy to answer such a boring question. She just asked excitedly, "Why did you come back? Are you going to accompany me to the dance? Oh, look at this trapezius muscle and this latissimus dorsi muscle. How did you train this guy?"
Luke had no choice but to let her touch and press his back.
Claire is also a muscle control freak, and has very high requirements.
To describe it with a word from her previous life, the type of person she likes is the King Kong Barbie.
The face should be gentle and handsome, and the body should have well-defined muscles, but the muscles should not be too exaggerated.
This requirement is of course extremely demanding.
Unfortunately, Luke is closer to this type now.
There were footsteps coming from the kitchen. Catherine stood at the kitchen door with a look of surprise on her face: "Luke, you're back?"
Luke smiled and walked over to her, giving her a big hug, "Haha, surprise! I missed you guys."
Catherine hugged him tightly for a while before letting go: "It seems that you are doing well. At least you haven't gained weight."
Luke raised his hand and made a bodybuilding gesture: "I exercise regularly. Well, Claire, how long are you going to lie down?"
Claire plays dead.
There aren't many opportunities like this that Luke can get.
Over there, a man ran downstairs: "Luke, Luke, are you back?"
Luke smiled and turned around, picking up the little guy with one hand: "Joseph, how is your elementary school life? Are Molly and Scarlett still bringing you snacks?"
Joseph laughed hahaha because Luke was tickling him: "Haha, no tickling. Haha, I changed girlfriends. Now Jessica and Daisy bring me snacks."
Luke: …
Claire: …
Catherine: …
After beating up Joseph, the young "big" winner in life, Catherine went back to the kitchen to continue cooking dinner.
Luke took the two little ones to distribute gifts in the living room.
"This perfume belongs to Catherine, this skin cream also belongs to her, and this pair of earrings also belongs to her..." Luke was taking something out of his hand and said, "Claire, take it to her room later."
Claire looked depressed: "Not mine?"
She had no complaints about Catherine getting so many presents.
Catherine has loved Luke the most since they were young, and Claire was very jealous of this when she was a child.
Fortunately, Luke had grown up before Joseph became sensible, otherwise Joseph would have been jealous just the same.
Luke smiled and waved to her, asking her to sit next to him. Then he slowly took out several boxes from the box and opened them one by one.
After Claire opened a few boxes, she wanted to scream, but Luke, who had anticipated this, covered her mouth with his hand and said, "Change them every once in a while, and don't show off all at once. Otherwise, I won't care if Catherine scolds you."
Claire nodded vigorously, closed all the boxes, picked them up and ran to her room.
"Come down once you've put it away. Catherine's gift is still here." Luke greeted her. He was not surprised by her behavior.
The gift he gave Claire was not expensive at all. It was the latest Swatch watches, each costing only about one or two hundred US dollars. The total cost was less than the skin care set he gave to Catherine.
The advantage of these watches is that they are colorful, beautiful and novel in style, and they are beautiful, fashionable and practical.
Compared to those famous watches that cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, this watch is most suitable for young girls. It is not too cheap and very beautiful. When it is out of season for one or two years, you can replace it with a new model without hesitation.
Luke brought back several styles at a time, which were just right for Claire, a changeable girl. She could choose the color and style according to her mood.
It’s not that he can’t afford the expensive watch, but that there is no need to give it to him.
Claire is not yet old enough to have a sound understanding of money, and the same is true of her circle of friends.
If you go out wearing a famous watch worth tens of thousands of dollars, you may receive a lot of envious compliments, but when you turn around, there will be a lot of girls scolding you behind your back.
Joseph looked at Claire, his stupid sister, with disdain as she left, then he stared at Luke silently.
Luke chuckled and took out a book wrapped in brown paper. “This is the study material from a famous elementary school in Los Angeles that I found specially. I’m giving it to you now.”
Joseph was struck by lightning: "What!?"
Seeing his little face turn into a word, Luke laughed out loud: "Just kidding, this is the new popular fairy tale book "Magic Academy". Haven't you always liked that... the little beautiful magician?"
"Ida Vincent." Joseph said decisively and took the book.
Seeing Joseph unwrapping the brown paper and looking at the new book with great interest, Luke smiled and said, "Hey, reading is not everything, there is also this..."
He pulled out a football: "It's a Los Angeles Rams standard-issue ball, but it's not signed."
