Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 455 – A Relaxing Day and a Stupefied Selina

Chapter 455 A Relaxing Day and a Stupefied Selina

Luke rolled his eyes at his foster parents’ PDA. He said, “Alright, that’s it. You should go traveling when summer vacation comes around. When was the last time you traveled? Five years ago? Ten? Don’t live like old people. You’re only a little over forty, you’re still young.

Robert and Catherine exchanged looks and were a little tempted.

Robert said, “But Joseph and Claire…”

Luke suggested, “Send them to Grandpa. Let them spend a couple of weeks on Grandpa’s ranch. It’ll toughen them up and train them to work with their hands. It’ll be killing three birds with one stone.”

Robert and Catherine didn’t say anything, but from their expressions, they were clearly tempted.

Claire would graduate from high school in the summer. She could apply for college a little earlier or later.

Also, she was technically an adult now, and this household had taught her how to control herself.

Thus, Luke’s grandpa only had to keep an eye on Joseph, who was still little.

His grandpa’s ranch wasn’t short of hands, and there were a number of women there who had children themselves. It shouldn’t be a problem.

Robert and Catherine had never considered this before. It was as if Luke had opened a door to a whole new world for them.

Luke was Catherine’s nephew and Claire was her daughter with her ex-husband. Only Joseph was Robert and Catherine’s biological child.

The two of them had had to work even harder to take care of this unique family. After taking care of the household and three kids for too long, they forgot that they deserved their own life.

Luke also only thought of this because of Jeff and Karen.

Their twin daughters were still in school, but the couple could go to Morocco to enjoy the splendor of the Sahara Desert. There was no reason why Robert and Catherine couldn’t travel when they weren’t short of either money or time.

It got late as they discussed this matter, and they went to bed. The next day, Selina didn’t get up until the sun was high in the sky, which was a privilege she hadn’t enjoyed for many days. Maybe it was because it was a rare visit home, but Luke had specifically told her that she could sleep in during this break.

Actually, Selina had woken up at nine, but she was simply too lazy to get up.

Just like when she was home half a year earlier, she left her room in a loose T-shirt and slippers.

Hearing footsteps, Sandra didn’t even look at her and simply said, “Breakfast is in the kitchen, help yourself. I need to get some things.”

Selina yawned. “Do you need me to drive you?”

Sandra had already opened the door. “No, it’s not that far.”

Selina finished breakfast lazily and watched some TV, but was unexpectedly bored.

If this was Los Angeles, she could spend the whole day lying around and doing nothing.

But now that she could come back and lie around, she felt that something was off.

Thinking for a moment, she patted her forehead helplessly. “D*mmit, I feel like that guy is going to pop up out of nowhere in a bit and yell at me to go train.”

She couldn’t help but laugh at her own words.

While Luke did often yell at her to go train, there were also benefits. At least, she was never short of delicious food, and if she completed her scheduled training, she could slack off a little during work hours.

Her days in Los Angeles were both busy and comfortable.

If it was anybody else, like Sonia and Elizabeth, their days were definitely busy, but certainly not as comfortable.

Elizabeth, in particular, was under a lot of pressure as a rookie detective. She couldn’t slack off even if she wanted to.

Lolling about until noon, Selina cheerfully ate lunch less than two hours after having breakfast. Her siblings then dragged her out to look for Joseph to play together.

After Selina and Luke left as partners to work in the big city, their families had become a lot closer, and the kids hung out together a lot.

The weather in Texas was getting hot as it approached May, so Selina left home in a T-shirt and shorts with her siblings. She didn’t forget to bring Dollar, either.

Dollar was very well-behaved and stayed next to her the whole time, neither too close nor too far.

At twelve years old, it was already an old dog and no longer as boisterous. Its temperament was much gentler now as it followed its young masters quietly.

When her siblings were playing with Joseph, Selina asked Luke lazily, “What are we doing today?”

Chuckling inwardly, Luke said, “Nothing. You can take Dollar for a walk.”

Selina sighed listlessly and touched the dog’s head. “It’s old. For a dog, it’s already a seventy-year-old man. A long walk would be too hard.”

Dollar shook its head slightly and rubbed against its young master’s hand as it enjoyed the petting

Luke was a little envious.

His family had never kept dogs. It seemed that Robert was a little sensitive and would easily startle awake at a bark or some other movement.

Luke had a rough idea why, so he had never asked for a dog even though he loved them.

But he felt a little glad at that moment.

If properly cared for, Dollar could probably live for another couple of years, but that would be it.

Luke only hoped that Selina wouldn’t cry too hard when Dollar was gone.

Selina and her siblings spent the afternoon at Luke’s home.

When it was close to dinner time, Selina saw Catherine come out in a new outfit.

While it couldn’t be considered glamorous, it was still a formal outfit that wasn’t anything like casual homewear.

Selina asked with a smile, “Did Luke buy that for you? I’ve seen it before.”

Catherine smiled. “Yes, but you need to change as well.”

Selina was confused.

Claire came out in an outfit which was also new and semi-formal.

Naturally, it was Luke who had bought it.

The mother and daughter smiled and pulled Selina upstairs.

Twenty minutes later, a stupefied Selina came out, now in different clothes.

Different from the other two women, her outfit was very pretty and absolutely not everyday wear.

At least, few women would do house chores in such a beautiful and immaculate dress.

It was a white dress in a similar design to what Natalie had worn before

Selina looked at Luke the moment she came out. “When did you buy this?”

She didn’t need to guess to know that Luke was behind this.

Her expression had been envious when she saw the various white dresses which Natalie had worn and Luke naturally hadn’t forgotten.

Luke said with a smile, “Not long before we came back.”

Selina asked suspiciously, “Is something wrong? Why do I feel like you’re all being a little weird… as if you’re keeping something from me?”

Everybody sweated.

As expected of a seasoned detective of the Major Crimes Division, she had sharp instincts.

Even in this relaxing atmosphere, she still sensed something was up.
