Chapter 432 - Sparkling Eyes

Chapter 432 Sparkling Eyes

That was because the follow-up transformation was still happening, and Elementary Self-Healing was diligently repairing any damage to his brain.

Luke cleaned up the basement and destroyed the things he had used in an incinerator which he had prepared beforehand.

He didn’t want anyone to get their hands on these things and study them.

After he came out, Luke greeted Selina, who was in the living room, then went to take a shower.

After his shower, he sat down on the couch. Seeing Selina look him up and down, he asked, “What’s up?”

Frowning, Selina suddenly got up and walked over to grab his head. “Keep still, especially your eyes. Just like that.”

She held his head between her hands and stared him in the eye.

A moment later, Selina blushed and suddenly let go of his head. She turned her face to the side and shouted, “Damn it, what did you do? Why do your eyes suddenly look like they’re sparkling?” Luke frowned and picked up a mirror from the table to examine his eyes carefully.

A moment later, he put down the mirror and said helplessly, “It’s a small thing. Let’s skip work tomorrow, and I’ll take you out for a spin. How does that sound?”.

Selina opened her mouth, but didn’t say anything and in the end just nodded. “Okay. I’m tired, I’m going to bed.”

She then got up and swiftly fled to her room, the door slamming shut behind her.

Luke smiled bitterly and picked up the mirror once again to look at his eyes.

The color hadn’t changed and they hadn’t gotten bigger, but one would feel weird after staring at them for a bit.

Selina said that they sparkled, but Luke felt that this was like the so-called divine light.

The opposite of this was probably something like a lifeless gaze or dead fish eyes. Luke knew that this was the result of his mind undergoing the first qualitative change.

The difference between Mental Strength that was twice and four times the normal was very large.

There shouldn’t be anything unusual about his eyes, but even Selina had noticed it.

Actually, Selina was too familiar with him, which was why she was so sensitive.

But he also knew a lot of people in the police department, and they were all professionals. Thus, he was going to skip work under the pretext of field investigation in order to avoid going to the department for the next two days.

If something really came up, he could get Selina to handle it, and if he really had to go, he could wear sunglasses.

After sorting out the petty details, he took a deep breath and summoned Daddy System.

The next moment, he was instantly short 12,000 credit points.

At the same time, Elementary Penetration, Physical Outburst and Curve Shooting were added to the list of his abilities.

Perfect!

Delighted, Luke got up and went to the basement to outfit himself before he quietly left the house.

The next morning, Selina opened her eyes drowsily, yawned and stretched.

Looking at the bright light which shone through the gap in the window curtains, she was stunned. She turned to look at her bedside alarm clock: 10:37.

She sat up abruptly and got out of bed, When she opened the door, she could hear vague noises from the kitchen.

Relieved, she put on her slippers lazily and padded into the kitchen. “Why didn’t you wake me up this morning?” There were times when they didn’t need to check in for work before, but Luke had always woken her up before nine for training.

It had been a very long time since she had enjoyed the luxury of sleeping in until half past ten.

Luke said without turning around, “There’s nothing important today. You can have a break once in a while.”

The truth was that when he returned at almost four o’clock in the morning, he had heard Selina tossing about restlessly in bed.

Selina, however, stared at him suspiciously. “Turn around, let me take a look.”

Luke turned around.

Selina frowned. “Why are you wearing glasses? They’re hideous.”

Luke was amused. “Didn’t you see my eyes last night? I can cover them with these glasses.”

Selina wasn’t happy and plucked the black-rimmed glasses off his face. “They’re too ugly, you’re not allowed to wear them.” Luke was lost for words. “Hey! If we run into someone we know when we go out, it’ll be very easy for them to notice that something’s wrong, right?”

Selina rolled her eyes and promptly said, “Then you can wear them only when we go out. No, wait, I remember I bought you a pair of sunglasses.”

Saying that, she ran back to her room and searched for a while, before running back out and putting the sunglasses she was holding on Luke. She then held up a mirror and asked, “How about this?”

Luke looked at the mirror and nodded. “Not bad.”

The light gray lenses had an elegant and refined air to them.

Selina nodded in satisfaction. “Wear these when we go out; don’t take them off.”

She had bought these Gucci sunglasses when she went shopping with Natalie and Karen a few days ago. They were worth almost a thousand bucks.

But she had gotten a pay rise and barely spent any money, so she didn’t hesitate to buy the sunglasses after picking them out.

The thing with the two couples had only just wrapped up, and she had forgotten about the sunglasses until now.

Luke nodded with a smile. “Okay, but can you take them off now?”

Selina hastily helped him take them off since he was busy preparing breakfast and his hands weren’t free.

Luke then reminded her, “Aren’t you going to wash up before breakfast? And don’t forget to put on pants.”

Selina gave an “oh” and left obediently.

Luke was stumped for a moment before he smiled wryly at her back. Weren’t the effects of the mental boost too exaggerated? Selina would always banter with him before, but she left without saying a word today.

It seemed that he had to keep the glasses on at home; Selina was no fun at all when she wasn’t bantering with him.

After breakfast, they left home in casual clothes.

They weren’t going to the police department today, and Luke didn’t plan to work on any cases, so Selina could wear whatever she wanted.

Thus, she wore an elegant, light blue knee-length wrap skirt.

When it was paired with a gauzy white blouse, Selina looked completely different from her usual orderly and experienced air.

They went window shopping at noon, and Luke picked out a pair of beautiful and fashionable Gucci sunglasses for Selina too.

These dark orange sunglasses were very suitable for the bold and passionate Selina. She tried them on happily in front of the mirror.

In the afternoon, they went to Santa Monica Beach to swim and bask in the sun.

At night, they went to that Hungry Cat restaurant, and Luke personally tasted the Maine lobster rolls strongly recommended by Selina as well as Natalie’s yellow fish fried with lemon peel and ginger.
