After getting off the bus, he walked slowly towards his home.
Less than five minutes later, he heard an alarm behind him. Lu Ke turned his head and saw Selena leaning out of the car window with a smile on her face: "Handsome, do you want me to give you a ride?"
Lu Ke: "Oh, thank God, you are a helpful angel." As he said that, he walked around to the co-pilot seat, threw the bag into the back seat, and then sat down.
Selina asked as she drove, "Why are you back so soon?"
Lu Ke: "Just relax. Come back when you feel better. I'll take my leave early so I can accompany you on patrol."
Selina: "... I believe everything you said. Oh, by the way, my mother asked me to invite you to dinner."
Lu Ke was puzzled: "Why?" He and Selina were very familiar with each other and had indeed been to her house for dinner.
But this kind of meal usually has a reason, and it is impossible to go there often.
Selina shrugged. "She wants to thank you for killing those Carlos family gunmen."
Lu Ke was puzzled: "Then she should invite Robert to dinner, right?" Robert had knocked down half of the gunmen outside Selina's house that night.
Selina: "Robert has already invited everyone, so Mom wants to invite you this time, because everyone knows that you killed thirteen gunmen by yourself."
Lu Ke said, "Okay, when?"
Selina looked at him and said, "You seem to be in good spirits? How are you doing tonight?"
Of course there was no problem for Lu Ke. After he cleaned up the Carlos family, he had no worries. Now he was completely relaxed and in a very good mood.
When she got home, Catherine had already finished get off work and picked up Joseph.
Seeing him coming back, Joseph dropped the picture book in his hand and ran over: "Luke, did you bring me a gift?"
Lu Ke grunted. This time when he went out, he was so busy traveling and killing people that he completely forgot about this matter.
He could only shake his head: "I didn't find anything interesting, so..."
That's right, what good things could he bring back from the Carlos family? Goods or guns? He couldn't just give that stack of Franklins to Joseph as a gift.
Joseph suddenly felt tired, said "oh" and walked back dejectedly.
Lu Ke smiled and pulled him back: "Selina's mother is inviting me to dinner later, will you come with me?"
Joseph's face was full of disappointment: "What's the point of eating? Catherine is preparing dinner."
Lu Ke laughed, squatted down, and put his arm around his shoulders: "Selina has two younger sisters, one is ten years old and the other is six years old, and they are as beautiful as Selina, don't you like them?"
Joseph looked at him with disdain: "Do you think I don't have a girlfriend? Molly and Scarlett bring me snacks every day."
Lu Ke: "...Okay, we can have ice cream outside, and the football you liked last time..."
Joseph: “I’ll go.”
"Good boy!" Lu Ke smiled and rubbed Joseph's head: "Go and play by yourself first, I'll talk to Catherine."
Joseph went back to continue painting contentedly. Lu Ke went to the kitchen and told Catherine who was busy.
Catherine smiled and nodded, still reminding him: "Don't drink, remember to come back early to rest."
Lu Ke said he understood.
As for not drinking, he naturally remembered it.
He doesn't drink at home, but that's not necessarily the case at Selena's house. She doesn't care that much about the law that requires people to be 21 years old to drink.
He threw his backpack into his room, took a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, and called Joseph beside him, and the two of them, one big and one small, walked towards Selena's house.
First I bought a nice-looking cake from a roadside dessert shop, and then I bought a small ice cream for Joseph.
Catherine rarely allowed Joseph to eat ice cream because his gastrointestinal function was not very good.
Lu Ke could only buy him a small one, and found an excuse to take a bite, so only half of the small ice cream was left.
Joseph's little face was full of misery: Is this what you said about buying me ice cream? I'm so young, and you're still asking me to give you a 50% discount!
However, he had no other choice, and it was even more impossible for him to complain to Catherine, as he would be taught a lesson first.
After walking for a few more minutes, they arrived at a sporting goods store and Joseph became happy again.
He had always wanted a football, but Robert hadn't gotten around to buying it for him yet.
Even if he bought it, he couldn't just buy those professional game balls that cost hundreds of dollars. Robert would buy it to keep it as a decoration.
Lu Ke didn't care.
He is a bachelor and stays at home after work. He doesn't spend much on food, clothing, housing and transportation.
This time I went to Mexico, I finally brought back some small specialties.
Also, he has to do a little testing.
After entering, Lu Ke greeted the store owner, Lister, and directly bought the store's treasure... the rugby ball below.
Forget about the treasure of the store, it’s an NFL game ball, a limited edition deluxe commemorative model. The price tag of $ on the luxurious golden football is enough to blind people’s eyes.
If Lu Ke buys this thing, he will be scolded, and the ball will be confiscated by Robert, and Joseph may be beaten.
As for the one below, it is much cheaper, 59 US dollars, it is a size 7 ball used for NFL flag football training, which is more suitable for a kid like Joseph.
After getting the football he had been thinking about for days, Joseph finally smiled happily.
He was a little small compared to the football, but he insisted on holding it himself.
Lu Ke didn't say anything too much. Being able to hold his favorite toy was one of the greatest happiness for a child, and he had no intention of disturbing this happy process.
After walking out, Lu Ke and Joseph took a passing police car and asked their colleague Bob to give them a ride.
However, when he heard that Lu Ke was going to Selina's house for dinner, a mysterious smile appeared on Bob's fat face.
Lu Ke was too lazy to say anything to the fat guy. This guy was very reserved and it was impossible not to let him have wild thoughts.
When they arrived, they said goodbye to Bob, and Joseph waved politely, "Goodbye, Uncle Bob."
Bob also waved with a smile: "Come on, I'm rooting for you two brothers."
Lu Ke wanted to throw his new toy at Joseph's face at that moment.
It's fine if they refueled themselves, but what kind of fuel did Joseph refuel? Did the two brothers really go there to pick up girls
Turning and walking into the messy yard, Lu Ke knocked on the door.
"Who?" a little girl's voice rang out.
Lu Ke smiled and said, "I'm Luke, Talia, open the door."
The door opened quickly, and a pretty girl with eyebrows and eyes that looked 60% to 70% like Selina stood at the door: "Luke, you're here."
Lu Ke smiled and nodded, then handed her a pair of sneakers that he had just bought at the sporting goods store: "A gift for you."
Talia's face was full of surprise: "Ah, really?"
