Luke walked around the apartment, including Selina’s room.
Since he was away, Selina left her room door open.
Luke couldn’t help but shake his head at the bras that were strewn everywhere, her clothes from when she had changed in the morning, and the messy sheets and blankets on her bed.
Selina was indeed as much of a slob as ever.
His own room was a lot tidier. Everything had been put away neatly.
Well, Luke had done most of it earlier on, and Selina had merely added a few items that belonged to him.
Luke then checked the kitchen, and discovered that the cooking utensils and seasoning that he had bought in Houston were all here.
He opened the fridge, only to shake his head.
There was nothing in the fridge except two cartons of milk, a few Dr. Peppers, and some cheese.
Luke called Selina. “It’s me. Yes, I’m back. Are you busy? I’m not. When will you get off work tonight? By seven at the earliest? Fine then. You’re using the car. Okay. There’ll be food for you tonight. Bye bye.”
He left the apartment to buy ingredients.
Thirty minutes later, Luke returned carrying two enormous bags.
Thankfully, he now had 28 Strength, or it would be somewhat tiring to carry such big bags on foot.
Back at the apartment, Luke did the necessary preparations.
His strength and dexterity proved useful once again as he completed in forty minutes tasks that would’ve taken other people more than two hours. All he needed to do now was wait.
It was only slightly past three. Selina wouldn’t be back any time soon. Luke had plenty of time.
Luke found his laptop and checked the news on a certain playboy.
Only then did he discover that the man who had paid a fortune to get him and Selina transferred to Los Angeles was having fun in New York.
Since it was close to the end of the year, many annual meetings and competitions were going on.
Tony Stark was attending… a competition for the top ten cover girls.
This sort of event was definitely designed for him.
Seeing how carefree the playboy was, Luke felt somewhat reassured.
The prodigal Iron Man would save the world. But that would also mean the start of a neverending global crisis.
From that perspective, Luke thought that it would be best if Tony Stark could continue his life as a playboy. Luke had no plans of being killed during a battle.
He wasn’t invincible, after all.
Luke browsed important world news and busied himself in the kitchen every now and then.
It soon turned half past eight. The door creaked as someone opened it with a key.
In the next moment, Selina showed up, exhausted.
She grinned when she saw Luke and gave him a big hug. “Oh, how I missed when you were around. I’ve put on a lot of weight.”
Luke was speechless. “Huh?” Shouldn’t people lose weight when they missed someone too much?

Selina sighed. “I’ve put on almost two pounds because of the garbage food I’ve been eating.”
Luke found it impossible to sympathize with her.
Other people would’ve turned into a 200-pound fatty if they ate like Selina, but she still had her figure, which was rather unscientific.
Luke could only smile. “Go take a shower and change. I’ll make dinner.”
Selina looked desperate. “Huh? Dinner isn’t ready? I expected food on my return.”
Luke smiled. “Only the main course isn’t done yet. You can have something else first. However, let me remind you that you better leave some room in your stomach for the main course.”
Selina was happy to see the cupcakes that Luke was pointing at on the table. She kissed Luke’s cheek and said, “Oh, darling, you truly are my savior.” She then ran off to take a shower.
Luke wiped off the lipstick mark on his face with a tissue, not knowing what to say.
He shook his head with a smile and put the chicken that had been marinating for five hours into the oven.
After setting up the oven, Luke left the kitchen and browsed the news again.
Ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened. Luke wasn’t distracted, and kept reading the news.
Suddenly, he heard quick footsteps from the bathroom, and he instinctively raised his head.
He immediately saw a naked woman running through the living room into her room, before she closed the door.
Luke was too stunned to realize what had just happened.
Recalling the elegant curves of that body, Luke finally understood that Selina must’ve forgotten to bring her towel in with her before her shower.
She had been on her own in the apartment when Luke was away. God knew what new habits she had picked up. Nudity might have been one of them.
She wasn’t scared of peeping toms anyway, since the curtains were closed.
Thinking that, Luke shook his head and checked the roast chicken in the kitchen.
By the time he returned, Selina was already seated at the table and was having a cupcake.
Luke asked with a smile, “Is it delicious?”
Selina snorted. “Is it beautiful?”
Luke was stumped for a moment. He then realized that Selina was accusing him of ogling her when she had been naked.
He smiled. “It’s very beautiful. Thank you for entertaining me the moment I got back.”
Selina glared at him angrily, but finally became amused herself. “Fine, it’s not like you’ve never seen it before. Tell me, why did you raise your head the moment I ran out, when you were so focused on your laptop before that?”
Luke shrugged. “I have good senses. I subconsciously checked what was going on since you were running too fast. I wouldn’t have looked up if you had walked at a normal pace.”
Selina was speechless. “So, it’s my own fault?”
Luke smiled and didn’t say anything. He got up and brought out a pot of stew from the kitchen, which was full of potatoes and beef pieces. The fragrance was truly enticing.
Selina immediately forgot to censure Luke any longer. “What’s this?”
“Stewed beef brisket with tomatoes!” Luke replied.
Seeing that Selina was drooling, Luke took out bowls and other tableware, and ladled out a bowl of soup for each of them.
“Let’s have this first. I didn’t prepare rice today, but there’s pizza. Do you want it?” asked Luke.
Selina hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in the end.
