Claire had missed the big bathtub for a long time, but she hadn't taken a bath because she wanted to give Luke a surprise.
Now that Luke was home and they had spent enough time together, she decisively chose to enjoy life.
Sitting next to the pool, Luke gave them drinks every now and then and asked Claire about their itinerary.
Naturally, Claire, who was about to enter college, couldn't arrange her schedule, as was the habit of most American families.
Claire wasn't the kind of person who couldn't take care of herself, and was very independent. Luke wouldn't arrange everything for her, and it was best for her to deal with these things on her own.
Clare rambled on and on.
In summary, she had two points. First, she had to live on campus for the first year to adapt to college life.
Second, she would go out on her own in a few days to explore the environment for her future studies.
In short, Luke and Selina weren't part of her schedule.
Luke wasn't surprised.
Claire would be staying at his place this month, and they would spend a lot of time together.
But that was only for this summer.
Next year, Claire would rent a house on her own, and wouldn't stay at Luke's place for the holidays.
Of course, that was Claire's own plan.
Luke might be in New York next year, and she would have to fly to the east coast if she wanted to find him.
But there was no need to talk about that now. Claire didn't come to Los Angeles just because Luke was here.
This was Los Angeles, the City of Angels where all the stars gathered.
Being a star was also one of Claire's ideal careers, but she hadn't thought about whether she would be a singer or a movie star.
So, she would take her time to think about it.
To be honest, Luke still remembered some of the English songs from his previous life.
Of course, he had been a geek in his previous life, and rarely listened to English songs.
The ones that he remembered were definitely the most popular English songs around the world, such as "My Heart Will Go On" or "A Cute Girl from Another Province".
If Claire wanted to be a singer, Luke wouldn't have to worry about her.
After all, most of the time, it was the songs that made people popular, not the other way around.
The reason why Luke hadn't made a fortune with these songs before was simple — he wasn't talented in singing or dancing.
Singing without going out of tune and dancing without awkwardness was already his limit.
When Daddy System appeared, he wouldn't need to take this path anymore.
The night passed as the three of them chatted in the backyard.
The next day, at nine in the morning, Claire smelled the aroma of food and sat up abruptly. "What's that smell? It smells so good. "
She casually put on a large T-shirt and walked out of the slightly opened door.
Luke was on the computer in the living room, and Selina and Dollar were having breakfast.
She jumped onto the couch next to Luke. "Why aren't you having breakfast?"
Luke said, "I'm done, but Selina and Dollar are still going to eat. Aren't you hungry? "
Claire rubbed her belly. "A little."
Luke said, "Why don't you go wash up?"
Claire pursed her lips. "Why are you like Mom? You're nagging early in the morning."
Luke didn't think much of it. "If I didn't tell you, you could still laze on the couch for ten minutes. Can you blame me?"
Claire snorted and jumped up. "I'm on vacation. Of course I have to be lazy."
When Claire came out of the shower, she was shocked to see Selina and Dollar still eating. "How much did you eat?"
Selina blinked and replied tentatively, "Do you think … I exercise a lot?"
As she spoke, she opened a steamer. "Have a taste. It's still Luke's specialty, buns."
"How many buns?" Claire sat down and had a bite. "Hm, it looks delicious."
Two people and a dog ate for another ten minutes or so, and all the buns were gone.
Luke finally said, "Come over when you're full. I need to give you some safety lessons."
Claire's face fell. "It's a vacation, and you're still giving me lessons?"
Luke said, "It's very simple. Do you remember the safety rules that Catherine told you about?"
Claire nodded and looked at the notebook in front of Luke.
"It's actually the same thing, except that I need to update the information on Los Angeles." As Luke spoke, he tapped on the map, and a lot of red dots popped up. "These are the locations of serious injuries or murders in Los Angeles in the last twelve months."
He tapped on the map again. "These are the locations of the robberies in the last twelve months." More yellow dots appeared on the map than the red dots, densely packed all over the map.
"You just need to remember the areas with the highest incidence of the two types of cases on the map. Don't stay in those places at night, and don't go into the remote alleys in those places during the day. Simple, right? "He patted her head with a smile.
Claire said, "That's it? It's not hard. Why do you look so serious?"
Luke sighed. "I'm in the Major Crimes Division, and I'm in charge of these two types of cases. A lot of people become victims when they're lazy or accidentally walk at night or on a remote path. This isn't Shackelford. It's easy for a lone woman to be targeted in certain areas at night. "
Claire nodded, but then said, "I'm a fast runner. Hm, I also know self-defense."
Luke rolled his eyes. "Most people with guns are in groups of three to five. Do you want to run away from a few guns, or do you want to steal them with your bare hands?"
Claire was stumped. Feeling that she didn't have that much combat ability, she could only nod. "Okay, got it."
Luke finally got up. "Selina will tell you about the other things that women need to pay attention to. I'm going to class."
Claire asked, "Class? Teaching other people? "
Pondering for a moment, Luke shook his head. "I'm not sure."
Baffled, Claire watched him leave, before she asked Selina, "What class is Luke going to? Isn't he a detective in the Major Crimes Division? "
Selina said, "Officer training."
Claire scratched her head. "He's going to train new officers?"
"He's the one being trained. Have you forgotten? He's never been to the police academy, so don't mention it to anyone else, "said Selina.
Claire burst out laughing. "Fine, I forgot that Robert was the one who got him into the Shackelford Police Department."
Selina also stood up. "Let's go to the training room. I'll give you some basic training for women."
Claire was curious. "What's that?"
Selina looked at her. "Real self-defense for women."
A moment later, Claire screamed in the training room. "Huh? Do we have to do that? Isn't that too harsh? "
"Here? And harder? OMG！”
"Until it breaks? That's unnecessary, right? "
