Very soon, dinner officially began.
Looking at the beautiful dishes on the table, Luke and Selina looked at each other and saw through each other's thoughts. They both smiled; it was another woman who brought restaurant food to dinner! It seemed that Dr. Haley's cooking skills could be improved.
Very soon, the beautifully arranged main course was finished.
Luke, who didn't want to drink, could only bring two desserts over and open the boxes in front of everybody. There was a yogurt mousse and a chocolate mousse inside.
Elsa couldn't help but swallow when she saw the food. "Are you trying to make me fat again?"
Luke pointed at the yogurt mousse with a smile. "This is very low in calories. You won't get fat even if you eat the whole thing."
Elsa struggled to decide for two seconds, before she looked at the chocolate mousse and said, "I'll eat this."
Luke: "… Okay."
This thing was bursting with calories.
Elsa clearly wasn't as determined to lose weight as she said she was. Between gaining weight and delicious food, she chose delicious food again.
The reason why she wasn't fat right now was because she had been in a hurry to familiarize herself with the environment in New York. She often forgot to eat at work, and Luke and Selina hadn't given her any snacks, which was why she had lost weight.
That was also why she dared to enjoy the food so "arrogantly."
Apart from Elsa, Elena also chose the chocolate mousse. She had never been thin, and one of the reasons was that she liked sweets.
Margaret had chosen the yogurt mousse, and was clearly on a diet.
Haley, on the other hand, had a small piece of each and didn't ask for more after she was done. It was obvious that she was testing the taste. She murmured to herself, Which dessert shop made this? It feels very authentic.
She didn't believe that Luke and Selina had made it themselves. Few detectives she had ever met liked to cook, much less had the patience to make such troublesome desserts.
She couldn't be bothered to do something that could be solved with money.
As they ate the desserts, Margaret and Elena were the center of everybody's conversation.
These two girls with the most innocent personalities enjoyed tonight's party very much.
Although Marguerite had been married two years ago, it did not hinder her simple and pure thinking.
Perhaps it was her pure, beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament as an art student that attracted her dead ex-husband, who was a gang leader.
Elena was more mature than Margaret, but compared with the other four people present, she was still innocent and young. She was both happy and excited to meet Luke out of the blue.
The two of them were also the most talkative in their conversation.
But no one wanted to interrupt the two girls' happiness.
The other four were mostly exposed to negative events in their lives, so they were more than happy to share the happiness of these two girls and relax their tense moods.
The party lasted until 8: 40 pm, and Elsa got up to leave.
She was very busy with work.
It had been a long time since she last saw Margaret, and she heard that Luke and Selina were coming too, so she took some time off.
But she still had to work tomorrow, so she chose to go home on time.
Elsa said goodbye, and so did Luke and Selina. Then, Elena hurriedly said that she had something to do too.
Margaret reluctantly sent them to the door and watched the four of them enter the elevator. She sighed. "Sigh, I wanted to talk to them more."
Haley chuckled and tapped her innocent sister's head with her knuckle. "Are you stupid? Didn't you see the way your classmate looks at Luke? He's not in the mood to talk to you tonight. "
Stumped for a moment, Margaret thought for a moment, before she slapped her forehead in frustration. "That's right."
Then, she said nosily, "So, the person Elena said she likes is Luke … huh?"
Haley covered her mouth and pushed her into the room. "Don't talk about other people's privacy outside."
Closing the door, Haley dragged her sister to the living room and sat down on the sofa. With half a glass of red wine in each of their hands, Haley continued, "Now, tell me about Elena and Luke."
Margaret was conflicted. "Didn't you just say not to talk about other people's private lives?"
Haley tapped her silly sister's head again. "I said not to talk about it outside. We're at home."
Margret hummed in acknowledgment and began to talk about some of the things Elena had mentioned.
Of course, it wasn't private, and Elena wouldn't tell Margaret, who she had just met, what was really private.
However, Haley was also listening with great interest.
…
On the other side, the four of them arrived at the curb.
Elsa knew that they wouldn't be drinking tonight, so she didn't drive.
Luke and Selina basically never touched alcohol outside, and today was no exception.
Looking at Elena, who was following Luke closely, Selina snorted. "I'll drive Elsa home. You guys make yourselves at home?"
Luke nodded. "Okay. Okay, rest early today. Don't work overtime. "
Selina rolled her eyes. She knew that he was hinting that she shouldn't go out and beat someone up tonight. "Got it. I'll sleep at Elsa's place tonight."
Elsa smiled. "Ah, welcome, welcome."
Luke said, "That's fine too."
Giving him another "I knew what you wanted to do tonight" look, Selina opened the door, got into the car, and left with Elsa.
Watching the car drive away, Elena finally stepped forward and grabbed Luke's hand. "Where are we going?"
Luke said, "How about we take a look at the night view of Manhattan?"
Elena was stumped for a moment, but she immediately agreed. "Okay."
More than ten minutes later, Elena looked at the dazzling and bustling night view of Manhattan outside the floor-to-ceiling window and mumbled, "Y-you said that you're looking at the night view like this?"
Luke chuckled. "That's right. Don't you like the night view here?"
Elena grabbed his arm tightly. "I, I like it very much …"
"If you like it, you can look at it a little longer." Luke hugged her, and they leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window to enjoy the enchanting night.
…
At seven the next morning, Selina was woken up by the faint sound of a phone call. She picked up her phone and saw that it was Luke's number.
She picked up the call, and Luke said, "I'm back for breakfast."
Puzzled, she put down her phone and looked at the time. "You're home?"
Luke said, "I'll be back at five."
Selina said, "Okay."
She quickly put on her clothes and walked out of Elsa's guest room. She sent a message to Elsa's phone and went home with Gold Nugget.
After she got home, she washed up and cleaned herself up before returning to the second floor.
Luke was watching the news at the dining table.
"You're willing to come back so early?" Selina sat down and picked up a big bun with her chopsticks. She took a bite.
