Joseph's eyes sparkled. He threw the book in his hand onto the sofa and hugged the football: "Oh, it's so beautiful."
Luke smiled and said, "Ah, the little beautiful magician can't even lift a ball? You'd better be careful that you won't be able to find a girlfriend in the future."
"It's easy to find a girlfriend." Joseph didn't have time to pay attention to him. He just replied casually and played with the football excitedly.
Half an hour later, the two little guys, who were still in an excited state, were called down to have dinner, but they kept looking upstairs from time to time.
That was the bedroom where their new baby stayed.
Unfortunately, it’s getting late now.
Claire couldn't wear those colorful, fashionable watches to show off to her bestie.
Joseph couldn't go outside and play with his new football.
Catherine was the most patient. Even when she heard Claire chattering about the things Luke gave her, she still smiled and told her daughter to be careful not to spray crumbs on the table.
Only Robert didn't show up. He went to a colleague's house to watch the game today.
With Luke going to work out of town, Claire about to graduate from high school, and Joseph starting elementary school, Robert and Catherine felt a lot more relaxed.
Although Luke did not give money directly to his family, he would send some things back to Catherine and Robert from time to time.
From clothing to large and practical household items, from shoes and hats to cosmetics.
Robert and Catherine weren't too keen on shopping to begin with, but with the things Luke sent them, they were able to save a lot of money on that.
The tens of thousands of dollars originally saved for Luke's college tuition became Claire's college tuition. Robert no longer had to save money specifically recently, and his life became much more relaxed.
Joseph? He was only six, and Robert had more than a decade to save up for his college tuition.
As life became more relaxed, Robert went to his colleagues' homes more often to watch football games.
Even Catherine picked up the painting tools that she hadn't touched for a long time and occasionally painted some of her favorite oil paintings.
Although she is a middle school biology teacher, she also has a heart that loves art.
After dinner, Luke held Catherine in his arms, and the two talked about something while washing dishes in the kitchen.
Hearing Luke's words, Catherine frowned: "You still have to tell Robert about this."
Luke rolled his eyes. “He has such a bad temper. If I dare to say anything to him, he will definitely yell at me.”
Catherine knew this was certain, but still shook her head: "Since this is your own business, you can run it yourself. There is no need to hand it over to us."
Luke sighed, "No one can tell what's going on in this world. The only people I can trust are you and Robert. I have some reasons why I can't keep these things under my name forever."
"Is there any danger there?" Catherine asked worriedly.
Luke laughed. “It’s not as exaggerated as you think. But some people will use some tricks to disgust others. I am just prepared.”
He communicated with Catherine for a long time in the kitchen, stating several reasons he had thought of in advance and explaining the reasons in detail before she reluctantly nodded.
After Catherine signed the contract that Luke brought out, the shares of the gold mining company in Prosperity Town, Arizona were transferred to Catherine and Robert.
From now on, Luke will only access the company's funds through certain accounts, and will no longer be the owner of the company.
And if something happens to him, the gold mining company will belong to Robert and Catherine.
Of course, Luke didn't want this situation to happen one day.
It’s not that he is reluctant to give up the profits from the gold mine, but he hopes to live a good life forever.
The reason why Robert was not told about this was, of course, because he had a bad temper.
If Luke were to talk about giving his company shares to Robert, this guy would definitely get mad.
According to Luke's speculation, it's not that Robert doesn't have the opportunity to make money, he just doesn't want to make it.
Otherwise, with some of Robert's connections, such as Chief Thomas in Houston, he could find many ways to make money.
Earlier, Robert's experiences during those years as a soldier overseas must not have been simple.
Luke didn't believe that this rough guy had no chance to make some dirty money or earn some shady income.
Perhaps Robert hated that kind of life and didn't want to make any dirty money, so he returned to Shackelford to become a retired sheriff.
The cost of living in the small town was not high, and neither he nor Catherine were spendthrifts, so their life was not difficult.
Now that they no longer have to raise three children at the same time or save for Luke and Claire's tuition, they live a very easy life.
After doing this, Robert returned home happily.
Luke felt that the Dallas Cowboys must have won today.
Robert came into the room, not smelling of alcohol.
He drinks in moderation, just beer, and not in excess.
After entering the door, he threw down the key in his hand and said, "Honey, who's here?"
Luke's rental car was parked outside, so of course he saw it.
Luke smiled and turned his head from the sofa: "Sapress! Robert."
Robert was stunned for a moment, then he glared at him and asked, "Why are you back, little brat? You didn't get sent back home by LAPPD to eat you!"
Katherine and Luke both rolled their eyes.
This guy's mouth is always foul whenever he's with Luke.
Of course, Luke was no better and immediately fought back: "Looking at you like that, I thought the Dallas Cowboys beat the Green Bay Packers today!"
"You will win sooner or later." Robert retorted subconsciously.
Then, they were both silent for a moment and laughed together.
This daily bickering is still exactly the same as it was half a year ago.
Sitting in the living room, everyone talked about what had happened in the past few days.
Luke and Catherine would talk on the phone every two or three days, usually before going to bed at night, and Robert would also say a few words, so they knew each other's current situation.
It's just that some trivial things like certain changes in the town and Claire and Joseph's studies can only be talked about at this time.
The three adults talked about this scary topic and soon scared the two little ones away.
Looking at the two little guys going back upstairs to sleep, the three of them laughed silently.
Luke then mentioned Selina's birthday and asked Katherine to help tomorrow.
Robert is a rough guy and can't handle these delicate tricks.
After hearing what he said, Robert looked at him suspiciously: "You...are you planning to propose to Selina out of the blue?"
Catherine hit Robert with a smile on her face: "What are you thinking, he is only eighteen years old."
Robert slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot. But what if he killed someone? Well, I was wrong, dear."
The rough man who uttered such vulgar words was lightly hit by Catherine again.
