Chapter 233 Rich Father and Rich Daughter

Luke glanced at Selina and said, “Just focus on the food, okay?”
Selina snorted and continued eating.
Luke picked up some food with the serving chopsticks and put it on Jenny’s plate. “Try it. This is delicious Chinese food.”
Looking at the greasy food and smelling the fragrant meat, Jenny couldn’t help but drool. She peeped cautiously at Selina as she had a bite.
Selina didn’t cause any trouble, and everybody finished dinner in peace.
Selina finished one third of the food, and Luke had approximately the same amount, but Jenny only had a little bit of it. Obviously, her stomach wasn’t as much of a threat as Selina had imagined.
After supper, Selina did the dishes, and Luke made a cup of hot cocoa for Jenny. The two of them talked in the living room.
Luke was utterly unmoved when he heard Jenny’s story.
It was the typical family drama.
Jenny’s birth mother died a few years ago, and her CEO father married another young and beautiful wife who bore him a son two years ago.
So, Jenny lived in Los Angeles by herself.
Her father had been pissed when Jenny got herself in trouble by buying weed. They had a huge fight over the phone, and Jenny drove off in her car. That was why she was here in her nightie.
There was absolutely no new information for Luke.
After all, it was purely happenstance that she was kidnapped, and she didn’t know much about WD-36.
When it was slightly past nine, Luke offered to send Jenny home.
Just as he was closing the door, Selina gave him the middle finger.
Luke bowed to indicate that he accepted the blessing before he left.
After they left the house, Jenny suddenly said, “…I don’t want to go back.”
Luke was confused. “Huh?”
Jenny said, “I’m alone, without family.”
Luke thought for a moment and proposed, “Should I send you to a hotel?”
Jenny was slightly shocked, not expecting Luke to be so straightforward.
Although she had been prepared for it before her night visit, she wondered if they were going too fast.
However, she didn’t say anything in the end, and silently agreed with Luke’s suggestion.
A while later, Luke parked his car in front of a hotel Jenny didn’t know, called Bellier.
Observing the interior after they entered, Jenny confirmed that it was a three-star hotel at best.
It wasn’t exactly horrible, but it was nonetheless rather weird for someone like her who had never stayed in anything less than a four-star hotel.
Noticing the look on her face, Luke smiled and said, “I’m just a small-time detective. I can’t afford a four-star hotel.”
Jenny finally remembered that not everybody was as rich as she was.
At the very least, this man had taken her to a three-star hotel, not a motel that might only cost dozens of dollars for one night.
They checked in under Jenny’s name and went to the room.
Jenny was slightly nervous. She had the feeling that the man behind her would suddenly pounce on her with a hideous grin…
Well, fine. She was only uneasy, and not really scared – she wasn’t a little girl who had yet to experience anything.
After Luke entered, he turned on the stereo and adjusted the lights. Then, he took out a bottle of wine and said, “Would you like some?”
Jenny promptly accepted the offer.
Talking to someone over a glass of wine was basically the most familiar thing for her.
The two of them chatted and had drinks on the couch.
Luke learned a lot more about Jenny.
For example, she had been the little princess of her family until her mother suddenly passed away three years ago.
Her father had been in business negotiations when her mother died, and didn’t return until the funeral one week later.
She had been living in Los Angeles since then. The villa was something her father had given to her out of guilt.
Father and daughter could have made peace with each other eventually.
However, her father married a young and beautiful woman less than half a year later, and his new wife gave birth to a son two months after the wedding.
Jenny finally grew suspicious.
Her father certainly wasn’t an idiot. He would never acknowledge a random newborn baby as his son without a paternity test.
She investigated and discovered that her father had gotten himself a young lover after he and Jenny’s mother fell out.
Just before Jenny’s mother died, her father had actually been with his young lover, who had just gotten pregnant then.
So, father and daughter had a huge fight, and barely saw each other anymore.
Luke even speculated that Jenny had done all that partly to see if her father still cared about her.
However, her father was too busy looking after his new wife and son to bother with her.
Jenny was a senior in college, but she had almost been kidnapped and recorded by drug dealers.
Family really was important.
Luke couldn’t help but feel lucky. Robert was practically a model dad compared with Jenny’s father. The man didn’t have any shortcomings except for the fact that he didn’t have a lot of money and usually wasn’t good at expressing himself.
After that, Luke and Jenny talked about various other things, from tidbits about their lives to work.Miss Jenny had never worked before, so she had a lot of fun listening to all the funny incidents that Luke encountered as a police officer.
Unless Jenny, who was completely focused, Luke actually checked his watch every once in a while.
When it was past eleven, Jenny still wasn’t drunk even though she had had a lot of wine.
Luke was rather speechless. He had plans for the night. Had he known that she was such a greater drinker, he would’ve brought a bottle of Vodka.
Switching tactics, he could only move from funny stories to suggestive ones.
Half an hour later, Jenny was blushing in his arms as they kissed.
She was red not because she was shy, but purely because of the alcohol.
Luke’s hand moved where Jenny couldn’t see it. Swirling the wine in the glass, he then fed it to Jenny, who was already half-drunk.
