In the afternoon, Selina and Claire got up at about the same time.
At the dining table, Selina looked at Claire. "You seem a little absent-minded. What's wrong?"
Claire exclaimed and raised her head. "No, nothing."
Selina looked at her for a moment before she looked away and didn't ask any more questions.
But in her mind, she immediately asked someone who knew exactly what was going on: What happened to her? Did something happen?
Gold Nugget struggled for a long time, but still couldn't resist its almost instinctive reaction. It confessed: She was in danger last night, and I could only help her a little.
Hearing that, Selina immediately sensed that something wasn't right.
Now that Gold Nugget had raised its butt, she knew what kind of sh * t it was thinking. She quickly asked, "Don't be ridiculous. How did you help her?"
Gold Nugget: I just … pretended to be an old grandpa.
Selina: What the hell?
She had thought of a lot of answers. Maybe Gold Nugget had temporarily taken control of her body when it saved Claire, making her think that she was suffering from schizophrenia or something. She never expected such a baffling answer.
What was an old grandpa? Selina had a bad feeling about this.
It's like what Luke told you in his stories. You know what I mean! When a teenager picks up an antique and obtains the mysterious power of an ancient wizard, he can get promoted, get a raise, marry a rich girl, and climb to the top of the world. Gold Nugget expressed its thoughts smoothly.
Selina gritted her teeth. … What the hell did you do?! Don't force me to ask Luke to deal with you.
Gold Nugget immediately shrugged.
Selina usually wouldn't threaten it with "Call Luke." At most, she would shut it up by saying, "You go find Luke."
But when she said "Call Luke," it meant that she was really angry.
Gold Nugget decisively confessed everything.
Selina felt the veins on her forehead bulge. If you're so capable, why don't you go to heaven? That's Claire we're talking about, and you're messing around like this!
Gold Nugget: At most, when I leave, I can tell Claire that I'm going to heaven to enjoy myself.
Selina: … Do you really want to be sent to meet God? I told you that you have to be careful when it comes to Claire. Luke is the most sensitive when it comes to family.
Gold Nugget: How about this? I directly controlled Claire's body back then. Wasn't it just as big a problem?
Stunned for a moment, Selina thought for a moment and realized that it might make sense. Then you'd better pray that Luke won't be angry.
Gold Nugget was surprisingly bold this time. I'm not scared! He was the one who said that protecting his sister's safety was the highest priority, followed by not exposing her to the outside world. Is Claire from the outside?
Selena choked.
That was Luke's sister. How could she be considered an outsider?
After thinking about it for a while, she finally felt relieved. 'Alright, you're smart now. I can't control you anymore …'
Gold Nugget: Are you praising me?
Selina: I'll praise you after Luke praises you. I can even treat you to desserts today. You can choose whatever you want.
Gold Nugget was full of confidence. It was a deal.
After breakfast, Claire drove to the police academy.
After her car left, Luke looked at Selina and said, "You can tell me what you want now."
He had long noticed that the expressions of these two fellows were a little strange, and they were deliberately delaying going out.
Now, Gold Nugget needed to protect Selina and Claire at the same time, but it also needed to provide energy to Dollar's aging body regularly. Thus, it would spend most of its time in Dollar's body when they got home.
For ease of communication, Selina's clone here was called Gold Nugget One, and Claire's was called Gold Nugget Two.
Selina raised her hand at Gold Nugget One, indicating that it could talk, and the dog head signaled for her to speak with its eyes.
She knew that the dog head was still very afraid of Luke. She could only sigh and tell Luke about Gold Nugget's antics last night.
Hearing a little, Luke's teacup froze, and his eyes widened. In the end, he stared blankly at the dog head. "Did you learn this from me?"
Gold Nugget nodded, as if it was only natural.
It didn't help that Luke didn't get angry right away. He simply leaned back on the couch and frowned as he pondered.
No matter what, being incompetent and furious wasn't advisable.
When looking at things, one had to get to the heart of the matter: Had Gold Nugget really done wrong?
After thinking for a moment, he realized that it really hadn't done anything wrong this time.
Judging from the current outcome, while the dog head's behavior wasn't perfect … it wasn't bad either.
At the very least, there were a lot of movies and TV shows where it used this kind of trick. It was easy for people to be skeptical, and not think that they were haunted by a ghost.
Secondly, it was similar to what Gold Nugget had said.
Once it left, it could tell Claire in advance, lest she take risks thinking that someone was protecting her.
There were repercussions, but it was already very good that it could take care of the aftermath at the beginning.
Even if the source of this trick was a little strange, for an alien dog head who had just arrived on Earth to be so far-sighted and meticulous? That would be looking for trouble.
Luke would take the opportunity to knock down the dog head on other matters, but when it came to protecting his family, he didn't want to give Gold Nugget any wrong ideas.
Otherwise, the next time the dog head hesitated to protect his family, there might be serious consequences.
After sorting out the cause and effect of the matter, he picked up the teacup on the table and nodded affirmatively. "You did the right thing. Not only did you protect Claire, but you didn't expose your true identity. "
Gold Nugget's tail wagged.
Luke glanced at it. "But this can only be considered good. So, your allowance for yesterday was doubled and doubled to a thousand dollars."
Gold Nugget whimpered and looked at him with its shiny black beady eyes.
It really didn't expect that a good practice could increase its allowance by so much.
Luke said, "If you're outstanding, your allowance can be two or even four thousand dollars. So, if you have the time, think about the safety training guidelines and plan for emergencies. You're not that smart, so don't be quick-witted like smart people. "
Gold Nugget whined unhappily.
Looking at its expression, Luke sneered. "Understanding your own strengths and weaknesses is also a prerequisite for living a comfortable life. I also don't think I'm smart enough. You want to be a smart person? Just play the part of an old grandpa for the next few days. If anything happens to Claire, let me know immediately, got it? "
Gold Nugget nodded again and even rubbed its head against his calf.
Luke rubbed the dog's head with a smile. "You've made a lot of progress. Keep it up. Don't get arrogant."
Selena let out a breath.
She was afraid that Gold Nugget would cause irreparable consequences, so she couldn't hide what it had done last night from Luke. But she also didn't want Gold Nugget to be taught a lesson by Luke.
Thankfully, the outcome was unexpectedly good.
"Let's go. We're busy today," Luke said as he got up.
