2144 Side Story: Lazy Vacation 3
Robert had nothing else to say.
Luke had already given him a ‘standard’ answer. He could relay it to his wife.
Sandra? That was Mario’s problem, not Robert’s.
They got up and entered the house. Selina had already washed up and come downstairs, and was competing with Cindy to see who was the biggest eater.!!
Hm, Gold Nugget didn’t count – its stomach wasn’t just big, but a bottomless pit.
Seeing Robert enter, Selina greeted him naturally and invited him to have breakfast; there was no sense of discomfort at all.
Fine, Robert had been forced into this by his wife.
After Selina graduated from the police academy, she had worked under Robert for four years, and they were as close as Dustin and Luke were.
But after talking to Luke, Robert was a lot more clear-headed. It seemed that Selina and his brat had a tacit understanding. What was he worried about?
He wasn’t stupid enough to think that the girl was still that minor police officer.
The changes in Selina’s temperament, manner of speech, and her way of doing things over the years all proved that she was no longer an ordinary person.
The matter of Luke’s ‘girlfriends’ wasn’t concealed from her; there was no need for an outsider like Robert to worry.
Half an hour later, Selina saw the father and daughter off, and arranged to train with little Cindy in the afternoon.
When she returned, she asked Luke, who was browsing on a tablet at the dining table, “Why did Robert drag you out earlier?”
Luke took a sip of his green tea. “He tipped me off that Mario and Sandra want us to have a baby too.”
Selina’s face darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, “Sandra… I told her that it’s still too early.”
In this regard, she and Luke had a similar opinion.
Why would a woman who was young and healthy, and could live for hundreds of years, have a kid so soon?
Furthermore, the more developed a society became, the less people wanted to have kids.
Luke and Selina could be considered to have indirectly established an intergalactic nation, which had even better technology.
In an environment like that, who would want to raise a child who would be around for hundreds of years?
Selina had also considered a problem: If Mario and Sandra gave birth to even more kids, what was she going to do?
The more people there were, the more diluted the resources.
For Earthlings, these resources were equivalent to money.
For Director Selina, who had various ways to create extraordinary powers, these resources were Life 1, the Kunlun Chi Refining technique, and some of Luke’s technology.
It wasn’t a problem to use some of her resources to groom Talia and Andrea, her two sisters, and Julio, her little brother.
Even her youngest sister, Leona, could also have some of them.
But what if the resources were spread over a dozen or even dozens of siblings who might appear later? Director Selina felt terrible just thinking about it.
She wasn’t even 40 yet, and was still a ‘kid,’ but already had to worry about ‘raising kids.’ It was simply a nightmare.
Furthermore, there would be a lot of things at home that she would have to be fair about.
Birthdays were already the simplest thing, but if she had more than ten siblings, one or two of them would be celebrating their birthdays every month.
If Selina had to celebrate all their birthdays the way she did now for her three sisters and two brothers, wouldn’t she go crazy?
If she didn’t treat them equally, what would her siblings think of her?
Hearing her fret, Luke smiled and shook her. “Don’t think too much about it. Give as much as you want. There are a lot of siblings who don’t stay in contact after they become adults. Just because you’re connected by blood doesn’t mean that you have to arrange everything for them.”
Selina was vexed. “But everything looks very harmonious in your place.”
Luke was amused. “That’s because of our age difference. When Joseph was growing up, Claire and I had already moved out. When Joseph went to college, Cindy only just started primary school. If it wasn’t for the huge age difference, they would definitely have fought each other for Robert and Catherine’s attention.”
Selina nodded thoughtfully.
Luke continued, “Also, when Claire and I were in Shackelford, Joseph didn’t get much attention. After Cindy was born, Joseph went to college, which was why he didn’t brood about this. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be strange for him to quarrel with Robert and Catherine every now and then.”
Selina thought for a moment and realized that Joseph was indeed such a broad-minded person.
Hm… Fine, that was only at home.
Outside, there had been an endless stream of girls, big sisters, aunts, and so on who coveted a bright, pretty boy like him.
Even though Joseph didn’t go out often, Mindy had to take action every now and then to chase away these women of all ages who had bad intentions toward Joseph.
It could only be said that you win some, you lose some!
Thinking of his brother’s peculiar situation, Luke concluded, “Love is always biased.”
He rubbed Selina’s head. “Especially when you want to be fair to your entire family. How is that possible? Look at me. Am I fair to the team, the league, and the reserve members?”
Selina subconsciously nodded her head. “The rules you set are the fairest.”
Luke spread his hands. “Really? Do I provide Ivan with unlimited supplies the way I do with you? Ivan can still borrow credit points from me, but it’s hard for the reserve members to contact me directly.”
Selina couldn’t say anything in response.
“With so many people, we can only be fair to a point.” Looking at her defeated expression, Luke couldn’t help but kiss her. Teasing Selina was actually quite fun.
Selina pushed him away. “So, how can I solve my family’s problem?”
“If you want to wear a crown, you have to bear its weight.” Luke chuckled. “How did you get everything you have today? Did I put it in front of you from the beginning? Claire is my sister, and she didn’t get as much as you.”
Selina was enlightened. “You mean train, observe, and screen?”
Luke nodded. “There’s nothing that can be obtained without hard work. Even a good-for-nothing can be reborn if they work for it. If they want something, they have to work hard for it.”
That was his principle.
Claire wasn’t motivated to enter the world of superheroes, and didn’t put in much effort. It was fine as long as he gave her enough ability to protect herself.
Joseph was interested and even joined Ursa Minor as a military advisor, so he received a lot of resources.
As long as Joseph used his gear, Claire, this celebrity, would definitely eat his dust.
It wasn’t that Luke favored one sibling over the other; it was just that they had chosen different paths in life.
Now that there was a solution to this ‘big problem,’ Selina relaxed and wrapped her arms around Luke’s neck. “Then, what do we do about Mario and Sandra still having kids? Should we…”
She mimed tying a knot, pulling, and cutting.
