Chapter 1252: Good Luck Koi and Same Gift
Now, their financial situation was very different.
So, with Luke’s urging and at Joseph’s strong request, along with Claire’s wholehearted approval, Robert and Catherine finally decided to have another child.
Based on Robert’s plan from a few years ago, he should be doing his best at this point in time to build up a college fund for Luke.
Then, he would do his best to squeeze out as much as possible for Claire’s school fees. The only consolation was that Joseph was still only in primary school and it wasn’t time to spend money on him yet.
That way, he and Catherine would be able to just about cover expenses with their salaries.
In the end, Luke got rich so quickly that Robert and Catherine didn’t dare look too much, for fear that they might burst a blood vessel.
Claire clung to Luke, and in the s.p.a.ce of one summer, became a singer, and was even famous now.
If Luke and Claire hadn’t reported to them every day, the couple would never have thought that the singer who wore a double-colored wig on TV was their daughter.
After Claire became a singer, she had her own money. Naturally, the couple didn’t have to pay for her school and living expenses.
In addition, Luke often bought things and sent them home to his family, so it felt like Robert and Catherine had nowhere to spend their pay.
It felt that everything was in place and they were lacking just one thing.
It was only after Robert officially confirmed it with Luke, Claire and Joseph separately that this little sister appeared.
Catherine’s due date was approaching.
That was why Luke had to come back in person.
When it came to physical tests, he was much better than most hospitals.
In terms of treatment, however, his abilities were heavily skewed. Any big hospital easily had hundreds of doctors, and he really couldn’t compare with them.
After he came back, he had already examined Catherine and the baby sister in her womb. Luke was very at ease now. “Don’t worry, it’s fine. It’ll only make her healthier. It’s just that your body isn’t suitable for strenuous exercise right now. It’ll be fine after Cindy is born.”
“That would be great.” Catherine relaxed.
After that, they took advantage of the opportunity to chat together.
During the day, when one was instructing the other, they barely had time to catch up.
It just so happened that Joseph had dinner at Selina’s place. After he returned, Luke took him upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.
They talked about the family, Claire, Luke’s female friends in New York, and how to bring up Cindy after she was born.
Suddenly, Luke, who had been talking, paused and turned to look toward the dining room where Robert was.
Then, he turned around and made a shus.h.i.+ng gesture at Catherine. “Robert also feels the chi.”
Catherine was incredulous. “Are you kidding?”
Today, Luke had secretly told her that Robert had been living too easy a life recently, so his thinking had slowed down. Thus, his cultivation might be slow, and Catherine couldn’t forget to supervise him and make sure he persevered.
In the end, this stupid thing actually succeeded?
Luke snuck a look and shook his head with a wry smile.
Catherine couldn’t help but worry. She asked in a low voice, “Is there a problem?”
Luke said, “No, but I noticed that he finished two bottles of beer. I remember when he’s watching TV, he’s the most comfortable after drinking two bottles of beer, right?”
Stunned, Catherine thought for a moment and confirmed it, before a strange expression surfaced on her face. “Did he really sense chi after drinking beer?”
Luke said, “…Probably; it definitely isn’t ‘air’ from beer bubbles.”
Catherine smiled as she hit him. “I’m not an idiot.”
When the family went to the ranch the next day, Robert was very pleased with himself. From time to time, he would look tauntingly at a certain gaping person. Didn’t you say that I can’t do it? Didn’t you say that I’m stupid? What’s your explanation now?
A certain person also despaired. How could someone succeed in refining chi after drinking? That made even less sense than drunk driving!
Previously, Luke had bet that Selina wouldn’t be able to make her body glow, but she managed to turn on her “headlights.” Luke suspected that it was because his luck had skyrocketed recently, and could be pa.s.sed on to someone else.
Thinking that, his mood improved.
If he could be a good luck koi in this life, why not?
It was the weekend, and the second day of May. The weather in Shackelford was as good as ever.
Luke and Selina’s families gathered at the ranch for an official family gathering.
Now, the two families were basically one big family.
Luke and Selina were partners, and Luke’s grandfather and Selina’s father were co-owners of the ranch.
Mario was an honest man. Even after his daughter became rich, he didn’t have any wild ambitions. He still worked on the ranch.
Sandra was also a diligent woman who often came to the ranch to work with her husband.
This made the ranch an even more suitable place for the two families to gather. It was big enough, and Drax and Mario didn’t have to run back and forth.
When they arrived, Luke led the kids as they gave Catherine and Sandra gifts.
It was Mother’s Day.
Without doubt, these two were the main characters of today’s party.
The gifts that the kids gave their mothers were all things that they had painstakingly found or personally made. They were definitely sincere enough.
Claire finally made it back to Shackelford in the wee hours of the morning, and didn’t miss the holiday.
What she gave Catherine was a simple and elegant pearl necklace which was suitable for daily wear.
But this young lady was rich, and the necklace was priceless.
Then, Luke gave Catherine a set of face masks for reducing wrinkles which he had personally come up with.
It definitely wasn’t sold anywhere, and had a very small amount of Life 1 in it, which was very effective for removing wrinkles.
After learning that he was giving this to Catherine, Selina decisively gave up on the branded skincare products she had bought, and also gave her mother, Sandra, the same set.
Naturally, Luke didn’t mind.
There were 24 masks in each set, two for every month, which could last them a year.
These two sets only cost him 5mm of Life 1 in total.
Even so, the face masks couldn’t be used too frequently, or the women would start to age backward.
Catherine accepted the gift with a smile.
But Sandra looked at the two identical sets and fell into deep thought. So, was this actually a gift from Luke?
Selina had said earlier that Luke had personally made these high-quality face masks, which couldn’t be bought outside.
Looking at her daughter, who had gone off to the barbecue, Sandra thought for a moment, then decided to forget it.
Let this idiot daughter do whatever she wanted! It wasn’t her style to get involved in the kids’ relations.h.i.+ps. After all, she had hated it the most when her parents meddled, and in a fit of anger, she had eloped with Mario.
Selina’s temper was similar to hers, and there was no need for them to elope; there was no point in Sandra saying anything.
