While the men chatted, the two kids interacted with Dollar and chatted with each other as well.
"You're already four. How many girlfriends do you have now?" Liz asked as she fed Dollar cake.
Little Peter blinked blankly. "What's a girlfriend?"
"You mean eating snacks together, playing together, and going to school together?" said Liz.
Little Peter was even more confused. "All the kids in kindergarten eat snacks together, play together, and go to school together."
Liz frowned and thought hard for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Right, they say you have to do that to be a girlfriend."
Saying that, she put her arm around his head and kissed him on the forehead.
Stumped for a moment, Little Peter rubbed his forehead. "Well, Aunt and Uncle kiss me like this every day. Are they my girlfriends too?"
Liz was exasperated. "Your uncle is a boy. How can he be a girlfriend?"
Little Peter looked at her adorably. "Then Aunt is a girl, so …"
Liz quickly shook her head. "No, Aunt doesn't count."
Little Peter was enlightened. "Oh, I see. Teacher Misha often kisses me on the forehead and says I'm cute. "
"Wait, something's not right." Liz put her hand to her forehead in frustration. Thinking for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she put her arm around Peter's head again and kissed him again. "You have to kiss me like this."
Little Peter touched his mouth and suddenly said, "Hm, you didn't lick the cake foam off your lips."
"Pfft!" Selina, who had been watching quietly on the side, couldn't help but laugh. Little Peter, I didn't know you were like this! You're so promising that you know how to trick girls.
By the time Luke was looking at her, Liz had already pulled Little Peter into the kitchen. She said, "Mom, do you think girlfriends should kiss their boyfriends like this?"
Then, May and Doris exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, little fellas, what are you doing?" It was May's voice, but Luke could hear hidden joy in it. It was probably something like "my kids have finally grown up."
Doris, Liz's mother, was both angry and amused. "Liz, what did you learn in kindergarten? Don't teach Peter. He's younger than you. "
Liz's serious voice rang out. "He doesn't know what a girlfriend is. I'm just explaining the problem."
The two women, "…"
Luke: "…"
Selina buried her head in the armrest of the sofa and giggled.
Luke glanced at Adrian, who was happily chatting with his uncle, and decided not to tell him the "good news."
Hmm, two families becoming one doesn't seem to be a bad thing, right? An extremely unreliable thought flashed through someone's mind.
After a while, the two little ones came out of the kitchen.
Little Peter was still confused. He had no idea what had just happened.
It was mainly because Liz was lectured by her mother, but only a few words.
She was only five years old and Peter was four years old. It was hard to get to the bottom of the matter when the two children were playing.
The key was that Liz was the one who took the initiative, and little Peter was just like an idiot. What else could Doris say?
This little episode did not affect the atmosphere of the gathering. Everyone was in a good mood.
It would be great to have such a gathering before Christmas.
Adrian had survived the crisis, and at the same time, he hadn't screwed over his old friends. Everyone could still have a stable income.
Uncle Ben was even more confident in the future of the home improvement company.
He still didn't know that Luke was going to sell him the shares, and was simply happy for the hardworking workers in the company.
Foggy was also very happy.
Luke privately said that the profits of the home improvement company this year would be directly distributed, and the part that belonged to the big boss would be used as a legal aid fund for Clinton Community for Foggy's law firm.
Of course, it wasn't for Foggy and Matt, but for those who urgently needed help. Foggy could use the money.
Previously, Foggy had been using the foundation's 50,000 dollars a month, which was equivalent to him using his own money to help the needy.
Now, with this additional sponsorship, he could finally treat himself better. At the very least, he would have money to buy a gift for his girlfriend for Christmas.
At half past eight in the evening, the party ended, and everyone left.
Foggy knew that he was going to drink, so he had hitched a ride with his uncle, who had just gotten off work. Now, he was hitching a ride home with Luke.
As for Adrian, his wife, Doris, was also driving home.
Looking at the snow on the balcony on the side of the road, Foggy sighed in satisfaction. "It's almost Christmas. I'm going to take a break."
Luke thought for a moment, then said, "Why don't I contact someone for you and you can go to Rio? It's a third of the price for a two-person trip at most. "
After a brief silence, Foggy said, "Are you really some kind of super tycoon? Is being a detective just a hobby? Does your family run a bunch of five-star hotels, and you wake up in a fifty-meter-wide bed every morning? "
In the front row, Luke and Selina both rolled their eyes.
Selina couldn't help but say, "How can the building we live in be fifty meters wide?"
Foggy laughed as well.
After the joke, he thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, I'll see if Marcie has a break. Hm, this discount doesn't have to be on Christmas, right? "
Luke was amused. "You can go anytime you like. It's a long-term deal. But I can only offer three-star hotels at most, because I really don't know anyone in a five-star hotel. "
Foggy: "… So, are you hinting that you have a three-star hotel in Brazil?"
Luke said, "I can just pay for a hotel. Who's interested in opening their own hotel?"
Luke had to keep the fact that he was rich a secret from other people, but there was no need to do so with Foggy.
Firstly, this guy was much smarter than Charlie and Raqael, and secondly, even if Foggy knew that Luke was rich, he had no intention of asking for any benefits.
He had passed Luke's test.
After sending Foggy home, Luke and Selina went back to their own home.
A hundred meters away from home, Luke suddenly stopped the car and looked at the entrance of an old five-story building on the side of the road.
Unlike most of the nearby apartment buildings that only had one dim yellow light, this old building had two very bright lamps at the entrance, lighting up the surrounding area of more than twenty meters. In the spacious space behind the door, many people were walking back and forth.
Selina asked, "What's wrong?"
Luke said, "I want to see how the relief station is doing."
Selina unbuckled her seatbelt and got out. "Then let's take a look. We paid for it, so we should see the results."
A moment later, they walked through the door.
Two middle-aged black women at the door immediately laughed. "Luke, Selina, you're out so late?"
"Don't tell me you two are going. Hehehe!"
Luke and Selina laughed and chatted with them.
