Joseph's eyes glowed. He tossed the book on the couch and hugged the football. "Wow, it's beautiful."
Luke was amused. "Hey, a pretty mage can't even hold a football? You might not be able to find a girlfriend in the future. "
"I can find a girlfriend easily. It's very easy." Joseph didn't have time to deal with him. He replied casually and continued to play with the football excitedly.
Half an hour later, the two kids, who were still in a state of excitement, were called down for dinner, but they looked upstairs every now and then.
That was where their new baby was — in the bedroom.
Unfortunately, it was already late at night.
Claire couldn't bring those colorful, fashionable watches out to her best friend to show off.
Joseph couldn't play outside with the new football.
In the end, Catherine was the calmest. Even when Claire chattered on about what Luke had given her, she still smiled and told her daughter to be careful not to spray bread crumbs on the table.
Robert was the only one who didn't show up. He had gone to his colleague's house to watch the game.
Now that Luke was working out of town, Claire was about to graduate from high school, and Joseph was starting elementary school, Robert and Catherine were a lot more relaxed.
Although Luke didn't give money directly to his family, he would send things back to Catherine and Robert from time to time.
From clothes to practical household utensils, and from shoes and hats to cosmetics.
Robert and Catherine weren't very keen on shopping in the first place. With Luke's gifts, they basically didn't have to spend too much money.
The tens of thousands of dollars that they had saved for Luke became Claire's college tuition. Robert didn't have to save money anymore, and his days were a lot more relaxed.
As for Joseph? He was only six years old. Robert had more than ten years to save for his college tuition.
Now that his days were relaxed, Robert went to his colleague's house to watch the game more often.
Even Catherine picked up her painting tools, which she hadn't played with for a long time, and painted her favorite oil paintings now and then.
Although she was a middle school biology teacher, she could not help but have a heart that loved art.
After dinner, Luke chatted with Catherine in the kitchen as they washed the dishes.
Hearing Luke's words, Catherine frowned. "You still have to tell Robert about this."
Luke rolled his eyes. "With his bad temper, he'd definitely yell at me if I told him."
Catherine knew this was for sure, but she still shook her head. "Since it's your own business, you can run it yourself. There's no need to hand it over to us."
Luke sighed. "Who can say for sure what will happen in this world? The only people I can trust are you and Robert. I have some reasons why I can't keep these things under my own name. "
"You … there's danger there?" Catherine asked worriedly.
Luke smiled. "It's not as bad as you think. However, some people will use some tricks to disgust people. I'm just being prepared. "
He talked with Catherine for a long time in the kitchen, telling her all the reasons he had thought of in advance and explaining the reasons in detail before she reluctantly nodded.
After Catherine signed Luke's contract, the shares of the gold mining company in Boom Town, Arizona, were transferred to Catherine and Robert.
In the future, Luke would only be able to use the company's funds through certain accounts, and would no longer be the owner of the company.
If something happened to him, the gold mining company would belong to Robert and Catherine.
Of course, Luke didn't want that to happen one day.
It wasn't that he didn't want to part with the profits from the gold mine, but that he wanted to live a good life.
He didn't want Robert to know about this, because Robert had a bad temper.
If Luke said that he gave Robert the shares of the company, Robert would definitely flip out.
Luke speculated that it wasn't that Robert didn't have the opportunity to make money; he just didn't want to.
Otherwise, Robert could have found a lot of ways to make money with his connections, such as Director Thomas in Houston.
Even earlier, Robert's experiences as a soldier overseas were probably not as simple as they seemed.
Luke didn't believe that the rough man didn't have the opportunity to make some dirty money.
Perhaps Robert hated that kind of life and didn't want to make dirty money, which was why he returned to Shackelford and became a sheriff.
Living in a small town wasn't very expensive, and neither he nor Catherine were extravagant people. Life wasn't hard.
Now that they didn't have to raise three children or save up for Luke and Claire's tuition, their lives were very easy.
After doing this, Robert returned home in high spirits.
Luke felt that the Dallas Cowboys must've won today.
Robert didn't reek of alcohol when he entered the house.
He didn't drink too much. He only drank some beer, and he didn't drink too much.
After he entered, he threw down the key in his hand and asked, "Honey, who's here?"
Luke's rental car was parked outside. Naturally, he had seen it.
Luke turned his head from the couch with a smile. "Surprise! Robert. "
Stunned, Robert glared at him and asked, "You brat, why are you back? Don't tell me LAPD chased you home to eat yourself! "
Catherine and Luke rolled their eyes at the same time.
Whenever this guy was with Luke, his mouth would always be so stinky.
Of course, Luke wasn't any better. He immediately retorted, "Look at you. I thought the Dallas Cowboys beat the Green Bay Packers today!"
"They'll win sooner or later," Robert subconsciously retorted.
Then, both of them were silent for a moment, and then they laughed together.
Their daily bickering was the same as it had been half a year ago.
Sitting in the living room, they talked about what had happened in the past few days.
Luke and Catherine would talk on the phone every two or three days, mostly before they went to bed at night. Robert would also talk in passing, so they knew how each other was doing.
It was just that they could only talk about trivial things like the changes in the town and Claire and Joseph's studies.
The three adults chatting about such a scary topic soon scared the two kids away.
Looking at the two kids who went back upstairs to sleep, the three of them snickered silently.
Only then did Luke mention Selina's birthday, and asked Catherine to help out the next day.
Robert was a rough man, and wasn't good at such delicate things.
After hearing that, Robert looked at him suspiciously. "You … you're not planning to suddenly propose to Selina, are you?"
Catherine hit Robert with a smile. "What are you thinking? He's only eighteen."
Robert slapped his forehead. "I forgot. But what if he's trying to kill someone? Fine, I was wrong, honey. "
The rough man who said such vulgar words was once again hit lightly by Catherine.
