Chapter 896: Do You Like the Night View of Manhattan?

Dinner officially began not long after that.

Looking at the beautiful dishes on the table, Luke and Selina exchanged a look and smiled. Yet another woman who ordered from a restaurant! It seemed that Dr. Haley’s cooking skills needed work.

The plates were quickly polished off.

Luke, who didn’t want to drink, could only bring the two boxes of dessert over. He opened it under everyone’s gazes to reveal yogurt mousse and chocolate mousse.

Elsa couldn’t help but swallow. “Are you trying to make me fat again?”

Luke pointed at the yogurt mousse and said, “This one has very little calories. You won’t gain weight if you eat this.”

After hesitating for two seconds, Elsa looked at the chocolate mousse and said, “I’ll have this.”

Luke said, “…Okay.”

This one was bursting with calories.

Obviously, Elsa wasn’t as determined to lose weight as she claimed. Between losing weight and delicious food, she chose delicious food.

She wasn’t fat now, and after coming to New York, she had to familiarize herself with the environment. She often forgot to eat at work, and didn’t get any snacks from Luke or Selina.

That was why she was so bold as to enjoy the food now.

Apart from Elsa, Elena also chose the chocolate mousse. She had never been skinny, and she liked sweet things.

Margaret chose the yogurt mousse; she was clearly controlling her diet.

Haley, on the other hand, asked for a small piece of each, and didn’t ask for more after she finished them. It was obvious that she just wanted a taste, and she wondered which dessert store this was made from.

She didn’t believe that Luke and Selina personally made these. Few detectives she had ever met liked to cook, let alone make such troublesome desserts.

If she had the money to solve this small problem, she couldn’t be bothered to make them herself.

As they ate dessert, the conversation centered around Margaret and Elena.

It was the two most innocent girls who enjoyed the party tonight.

Although Margaret had been married two years ago, it hadn’t affected her pure and simple mindset.

Perhaps it was her innocent and beautiful appearance, as well as her outstanding temperament, which attracted the attention of her ex-husband, a deceased gang boss.

Elena was a little more mature than Margaret, but she was still young and innocent. She was both happy and excited to meet Luke.

The two girls talked the most.

And nobody wanted to dampen their happiness.

The other four people came in contact with mostly negative things in their daily lives. They were happy to share the happiness of the two girls and relax.

The party lasted until 8:40pm, when Elsa got up to take her leave.

She was very busy with work.

It was only because she hadn’t seen Margaret in a long time and had heard that Luke and Selina were coming, that she had taken the time out to come.

But work continued as always tomorrow, and she still chose to go home in a timely manner.

Elsa left, and so did Luke and Selina. Elena then hurried to say that she was busy as well.

Margaret sent them to the door reluctantly. Seeing the four of them enter the elevator, she sighed. “I still want to talk to them.”

Haley chuckled and rapped her sister on the head with her knuckles. “Are you an idiot? Didn’t you see the way your classmate looked at Luke? She’s not in the mood to talk to you tonight.”

Taken aback, Margaret thought for a moment before she slapped her forehead in frustration. “That’s right.”

She then asked in a gossipy tone, “So, the person that Elena likes is Lu- huh?”

Haley covered her mouth and pushed her into the apartment. “Don’t talk about other people’s private business outside.”

After the door closed, Haley dragged her sister to the couch in the living room. After they were holding a cup of red wine each, she said, “Now, tell me about Elena and Luke.”

Margaret hesitated. “Didn’t you just say not to talk about other people’s private business?”

Haley tapped her silly sister on the head again. “I’m telling you not to talk outside. This is home.”

Margaret only mentioned what Elena had told her.

Of course, it wasn’t anything private; Elena wouldn’t really tell Margaret, who was a new acquaintance, about her private life.

However, Haley listened with interest.

…

The four people who had come downstairs stopped on the roadside.

Knowing that there would be drinks tonight, Elsa didn’t drive.

Luke and Selina rarely drank outside, and today was no exception.

Looking at Elena, who was following Luke closely, Selina snorted. “I’ll drive Elsa home. You can do whatever you want.”

Luke nodded. “Alright. Rest early today. There won’t be any overtime tonight.”

Selina rolled her eyes, knowing that he was hinting that she shouldn’t go out to beat people up tonight. “Got it. I’ll sleep at Elsa’s tonight.”

Elsa smiled. “Ah, sure, sure.”

Luke said, “That works too.”

Selina gave him a look that said, “I know what you’re up to tonight.” She 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, “Let’s take a look at Manhattan’s night lights. How about it?”

Stumped for a moment, Elena immediately agreed. “Alright.”

Ten minutes later, Elena looked at the splendid night view of Manhattan through the floor-to-ceiling windows and murmured, “Is this how you look at the night view?”

Luke chuckled. “That’s right. Don’t you like the night view?”

Elena grabbed his arm hard. “I… I love it…”

“If you like it, look at it for a while longer.” Luke hugged her, and they enjoyed the beautiful night through the window.

…

At seven the next morning, Selina was woken up by a soft beep from her phone. She checked and saw that it was Luke’s number.

Luke said, “Come back for breakfast.”

Selina thought it was strange and took the phone away from her ear to check the time. “You’re home?”

Luke said, “I came back at five.”

Selina said, “Okay.”

She quickly put on her clothes and left Elsa’s guest room. She sent a message to Elsa’s phone and then took Gold Nugget home in the car.

After she got home, she washed up before she returned to the second floor.

Luke was reading the news.

“You’re back so early?” Selina sat down, picked up a big bun with her chopsticks, and took a big bite.

Luke put down the tablet and gave Gold Nugget a bunch of fist-sized buns. “Slacking off for one night is extravagant enough. We can’t be too self-indulgent.”
