Now, their family's financial situation was very different.
Thus, under Luke's urging, Joseph's insistence, and Claire's agreement, Robert and Catherine finally decided to have another child.
According to Robert's plan, he should try his best to help Luke pay for his college tuition, preferably all of it.
Then, he should try his best to pay for Claire's tuition. The only downside was that Joseph was still in elementary school and hadn't started spending a lot of money yet.
That way, Robert and Catherine could barely make ends meet on their salaries.
In the end, Luke made a fortune so fast that Robert and Catherine didn't dare to watch it for too long, fearing that their blood vessels would burst.
Claire, the little monkey, pestered Luke, and became a singer in just one summer. She was even a star now.
If Luke and Claire hadn't reported to them on a daily basis, they would never have guessed that the female singer who had been wearing a two-color wig on TV for the past few months was their daughter.
After Claire became a singer, she earned her own money, and naturally didn't have to pay for her tuition and living expenses.
Also, Luke's habits from his previous life as a Chinese man were still there, and he often bought things for his family. So, Robert and Catherine felt like they had nowhere to spend their salaries.
So, everything was ready except for one last thing.
Robert confirmed it with Luke, Claire, and Joseph before the little sister finally showed up.
Now, Catherine's due date was almost here.
That was also why Luke had to come back in person.
When it came to physical examinations, he was much more skilled than regular hospitals.
However, he was severely outclassed when it came to treatment. There were hundreds of doctors in major hospitals, which he really couldn't compare to.
After he came back, he had run tests on Catherine and the little sister in her belly. Luke was very reassured. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. She'll only be healthier. Right now, your body isn't suitable for strenuous exercise, but it'll be fine after Cindy is born. "
"That's great." Catherine was relieved.
At this point, the two of them took the opportunity to chat.
With one guiding and the other being guided, they basically didn't have time to chat.
It just so happened that Joseph had dinner at Selina's place, and Luke had taken him upstairs to take a shower and go to bed. Kids had to sleep early and get up early.
They talked about their family, Claire, Luke's female friends in New York, and Cindy's education after it was born.
Suddenly, Luke paused and turned around to look at Robert, who had been driven to the restaurant.
Then, he turned around and made a shushing gesture to Catherine. "Robert feels the Ki too."
Catherine had an incredulous expression on her face. "Are you kidding me?"
Today, Luke had secretly told her that Robert had been taking things too easy recently, and that his brain was a little slow. His cultivation might be slow, and he had asked her not to forget to urge him to persevere.
In the end, this idiot actually succeeded?
Luke quietly walked over and took a few glances, before he shook his head and returned with a bitter smile.
Catherine couldn't help but worry and 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 was watching TV at home, he would drink two bottles of beer every time, and that was when he felt the most comfortable, right? "
Catherine was stunned. She thought about it and confirmed it. Soon after, a strange expression appeared on her face. "Did he really get angry because he drank too much?"
Luke said, "… Probably. But it definitely wasn't the 'qi' he absorbed from the bubbles in the beer. "
Catherine hit him with a smile. "I'm not stupid."
Robert was still full of pride the next day when the family went to the ranch. Every now and then, he would provoke Luke with his eyes. Didn't you say that I couldn't do it? Didn't you say that I was stupid? What's the explanation now?
Luke was also desperate. How could anyone succeed in the Qi Refinement Stage after drinking alcohol? That was even more unreliable than drunk driving! Had he really smeared honey on his own mouth?
Earlier, he had bet that Selina's body couldn't glow, but the headlights turned on. Luke suspected that it was because he had been so lucky recently that he could pass it on to the people around him.
Thinking that, he was in a much better mood.
If a person could be a koi, who would want to be an unlucky person?
It was the weekend, and the second Sunday in May. The weather in Shackelford was as good as ever.
Luke's and Selina's families gathered at the joint ranch for an official family reunion.
Now, the two families were basically one family.
Luke and Selina were partners, and Luke's grandfather and Selina's father were co-owners of the joint ranch.
Marino was an honest man. He didn't have any other thoughts now that his daughter was rich, and continued to work on the ranch.
Sandra was a diligent woman, and often came to the ranch to work with her husband.
This made the joint ranch even more suitable as a place for the two families to reunite. It was wide enough, and there was no need for Drax and Marino to run back and forth.
When they arrived, the juniors, led by Luke, took out presents for Catherine and Sandra.
Today was Mother's Day.
Without a doubt, these two were the stars of today's gathering.
The presents that the juniors had given their mother were all small items that they had spent a lot of effort to find or made with their own hands. They were definitely sincere enough.
Claire had rushed back to Shackelford before midnight last night, and hadn't missed the festival.
She had given Catherine a pearl necklace. It was simple and elegant, and suitable for everyday wear.
But this rich girl was rich, and the necklace was expensive.
Then, there was Luke's gift for Catherine — a wrinkle removal mask that he had personally made.
This thing definitely wasn't for sale. It contained a tiny amount of Life One, which was very effective at removing wrinkles.
After Selina learned that he was going to give it to Catherine, she decisively gave up on the branded skincare products she had bought, and only wanted one set for her mother, Sandra.
Naturally, Luke didn't care.
There were twenty-four masks in one set, and two a month would be enough for a year's needs.
The two sets of masks only used five milliliters of Life One in total.
Even so, it couldn't be used too often, or a supernatural phenomenon like rejuvenation would occur after a few uses.
Catherine didn't react strangely to the gift, and simply accepted it with a smile.
But looking at the two identical masks, Sandra was lost in thought. So, this was actually a gift from Luke, right?
Selina had said just now that this was a high-end mask that Luke had personally made, and it couldn't be bought outside.
Looking at her daughter, who was roasting barbies on the side, she thought for a while, but decided to forget about it.
This idiot daughter could do whatever she wanted! It wasn't her style to meddle in the affairs of the next generation. After all, she hated it when her parents interfered, and she eloped with Marino in a fit of anger.
Selina's temper was similar to hers, and they didn't need to elope, so it was pointless for her to say anything.
