Chapter 713: Sending Someone Home and No Comment on Love Life

On his way back, Luke met Selina on the road.

He folded the bike, threw it back into the trunk, and got back into the car.

Selina said gloomily, “The traffic is so bad I almost want to take a helicopter.”

Luke said, “Wouldn’t you still need to look for a place to take off from first anyway? Let’s go.”

Selina asked, “How’s Claire?”

Luke said with a smile, “She didn’t lose even a strand of hair. She even shot and injured a criminal.”

“That’s good.” Selina didn’t say anything else.

Claire was under Gold Nugget’s protection, so she was completely safe, which was why Luke could calmly ride his bike over.

Although he sounded relaxed, he still treasured his sister very much.

After a busy day, Luke and Selina picked Claire up after work.

Today, the police academy didn’t require students to return to the school. After reporting to their instructors, they could go home and rest.

There were two considerations for this step.

Firstly, everybody had heard the rumor about the earthquake, so the students should be allowed to go home for a look after a busy day.

Secondly, traffic was always congested in Los Angeles, and the school bus couldn’t pick up the students who were scattered everywhere.

Principal Lassad decisively told the students to return home and keep in touch.

If there really was an emergency, the students could report to the nearest police department themselves, or they could directly contact the patrol officers and help maintain order.

When they picked Claire up, Karen came over and said that she wanted to hitch a ride and talk to Claire.

Claire didn’t say anything, but looked at Luke. It was up to him. Luke simply told Karen to get in.

They slowly drove home and went to wash up.

Claire had an ensuite, so Karen naturally went to her room.

By the time they came out, dinner was already in the oven, and Luke and Selina were having drinks in the backyard.

After an exhausting day, everybody was a little lazy to chat.

Luke and Selina were in better shape, while Claire could be considered an old hand at training.

Karen had been yelling all day while on duty, and after the first intense gunfight of her life, she fell asleep on the deck chair.

Luke simply had Claire put a thin towel over her, and the three of them moved further away to read the news and chat occasionally.

The sun gradually set and night fell.

After napping for an hour, Karen woke up just in time for dinner.

After resting for a bit, everybody was in the mood to chat and eat.

The main topic of conversation was what they had seen during the day. Both Karen and Claire were very worried about the upcoming earthquake.

The city was already in chaos before the earthquake; what was it going to be like if it happened?

Luke didn’t say much to comfort them. He simply reminded them to be careful after the earthquake happened.

For example, on no account should they rashly enter a danger zone before the earthquake stopped.

Secondly, they couldn’t ignore their own safety just to save someone.

Those who would take advantage of the situation wouldn’t care about their good intentions; they would only focus on their youth and looks.

By nine o’clock, they had finished dessert and drinks after dinner, and the conversation finally came to an end.

Miss Karen wanted to get her family to send a car to pick her up.

But her driver told her that it would take him at least an hour to get there, given the chaos and heavy traffic.

Everybody was lost for words when they heard that. Didn’t that mean that Karen wouldn’t get home until midnight?

Luke thought for a moment before he said, “I’ll send you back.”

Stunned for a moment, Karen was secretly delighted and quickly nodded. “Okay.” She couldn’t help but steal a glance at Claire and Selina.

She noticed that Selina didn’t seem to care at all. Claire gave her a disdainful look, but didn’t say anything.

Karen secretly gave Claire a thumbs up and followed Luke to the garage.

A moment later, a small scooter puttered out of the garage.

Suspicious, Claire turned around and asked Selina, “Why does Luke have a motorbike like that?”

Looking at the tablet in her hand, Selina replied casually, “That’s a Vespa.”

Claire was confused. “Huh? Is it famous?”

Selina raised her head. “Don’t you know that your brother likes Audrey Hepburn?”

Claire tilted her head and thought for a moment. “I think he mentioned it.”

Selina said, “This Vespa scooter is the one that Audrey Hepburn rode in Roman Holiday. I don’t know where your brother got this antique, but he fixed it himself.”

Claire was lost for words. Luke was actually a fan of Audrey Hepburn! Wait, that wasn’t right. She was already a grandmother by the time she passed away, right?

She smacked her lips. “I thought Luke was interested in Karen.”

Selina chuckled. “Is Miss Karen interested in Luke?”

Claire asked, “You can tell?”

Selina got up lazily, took off her T-shirt and shorts, and entered the spa. “I’m not blind. Too bad, she… Forget it.”

Claire also took off her T-shirt and shorts. She entered the spa and hugged Selina’s shoulders. “Tell me, what’s too bad?”

Selina turned on the tablet in her hand and activated the spa’s massage function. Water gushed over their exhausted bodies.

She sighed comfortably. “It’s a pity that she’s way not up to standard. Luke isn’t looking for a girlfriend for now.”

Claire didn’t really care if Luke had a girlfriend, but was more interested in something else. “Won’t someone like Karen do?”

From Claire’s point of view, Karen was pretty good. She graduated from a prestigious university, had good manners, and was also pretty.

Karen did have some of the common failings of a rich young miss, such as being insensitive about spending money and saying things that inadvertently hurt the pride of the poor, but she didn’t deliberately look down on ordinary people.

These shortcomings were also being gradually changed during her police academy training.

But Selina actually said that she was… not up to standard?

With two hands behind her head, Selina turned to look at the naughty monkey and smiled. “Someone got there before she did, and she’s far more qualified.”

Claire immediately realized that her speculation had been correct.

Luke had a “female friend,” and Selina was saying that the woman was better than Karen.

Looking at Claire’s expression, Selina patted her head. “Don’t think too much. Your brother is a ladykiller. There are a lot of girls who like him.”

Claire’s interest was piqued. “Who? He isn’t here, so tell me.”

Selina rolled her eyes and asked casually, “Right, has Luke ever said anything about my love life to you?”

Claire subconsciously shook her head. “No.”

Luke wouldn’t tell her about someone else’s private business, much less Selina’s.

Selina shrugged. “So, he’s never brought up anything about his love life; I have nothing to say.”

Claire’s eyes widened. “You… so cunning!”

Selina chuckled. “Hehe.”
