Chapter 1959 - Recording Sleep Talk and Family Life

Luke’s clone returned as quickly as it had gone. After giving old Mephisto the final ‘6’ in a ‘666 blessing,’ it returned to New York.

Recently, both Luke and his clone had been quite busy at night.

Not only did he meet up with Max to research making cupcakes, Wanda had also arranged to go out with Big Dipper at night.

The little witch had a good reason.

Since Big Dipper had suggested that she go out more often to experience the world, it was best for him to accompany her during this period of adaptation, or she might lose control when beating up hoodlums at night.

Thinking of a certain ‘person’ who wasn’t human, Luke finally took the time to invest more in the little witch to avoid being ‘stabbed in the back’ again.

On the other side, he had to deal with Skye’s advances. Even Selina sensed that something was wrong.

After Skye visited them at their place one day, Selina immediately had Little Snail check if there had been any changes in Skye recently.

Luke simply rolled his eyes and went to the basement.

Selina called out to him from behind. “Hey, aren’t you going to wait for Little Snail’s analysis? Don’t tell me you already know the outcome?”

Luke didn’t even turn around. “That’s right. I know everything.”

Selina snorted and had Little Snail stop analyzing the situation.

Looking at a certain someone’s attitude, she knew that Skye had no chance at the moment. However, when she turned around, she saw a certain dog head staring at her strangely.

She walked over and grabbed its face. “Come, tell me what you want to say.”

The dog head helplessly paused the cartoon that was playing on its phone. “At 5am this morning, you called out Luke’s name in your sleep.”

Selina pulled at the dog head’s face with both hands. “So what if I did? I call his name all the time during the day.”

The dog head looked askance at her and said calmly, “I recorded it.”

Stunned, Selina picked up the phone and played the recording.

Then… she immediately switched to the next one.

She only played a little before she switched to another one. After five times in a row, she finally stopped playing them. She scrolled down the phone screen and saw dozens of audio files.

Scanning the times when the files were created, she then stared fiercely at the dog head. “You dog, you’ve been recording me every day for the past two months?”

The dog head said calmly, “In passing. Of course I won’t record anything if you don’t say anything in your sleep.”

Selina grabbed its thick skin again. “Are these the only copies of the recordings?”

The dog head said, “Of course. If I take this out, Luke will deduct my monthly allowance.”

Selina snorted. “Do you think I won’t?”

The dog head had a subtle look in its eyes. “If you dare deduct my money, I’ll combine with you the next time you talk in your sleep and improve your sleep quality.”

Selina choked — it was hard to dream in the symbiotic state.

Narrowing her eyes, she looked at the dog head for a moment. “Don’t secretly record me sleeping in the future, or… I’ll tell Luke that you secretly took photos of him.”

F*ck! Are you trying to take me down with you? The dog head hesitated for a moment, but still chose to take a step back. “Okay, but I want strawberry ice cream now.”

Selina immediately got it. She gritted her teeth and stood up. “Fine, I’ll get it for you.”

The dog head said, “I want cranberry biscuits, hot cocoa, stinky tofu…”

Bang!

Selina punched the dog’s head and cut it off before it went too far. “If you keep talking, I’ll get Luke to string you up for a beating.”

The dog head froze.

Although it had been a long time since Luke had used the Annihilation energy on it, how could it forget that feeling?

Besides, it was Luke who had told the dog head before about Selina talking in her sleep.

If he knew that it had actually recorded her sleep talking, he would take off two layers of its dog skin.

Just like that, the ‘fight’ between the two ‘best friends’ came to an end. The dog head lost the memory card for its phone – Selina destroyed it without a trace.

Not only did the dog head lose the recordings, it also lost a bunch of cartoons and dramas. This could be considered the price for ‘courting death.’

Family life returned to normal.

…

A few days later, Selina’s sisters arrived in New York.

Talia was already 18. After the summer break, she would be attending USC, and thus was taking the opportunity to come and play in New York for a bit.

Selina’s second sister was about to turn 14. She had grown up playing with Talia, and hence had decisively tagged along.

Julio wanted to come with them, but his two unscrupulous sisters persuaded him to stay home with the excuse that he was a boy and couldn’t play with them.

After all, he was still in primary school.

After Selina picked up her sisters from the airport and they got home, they jumped on Luke and called, “Luke, Luke.”

Selina could only pull a long face and pull them off Luke.

Luke wasn’t interested in her sisters, but whether or not they were interested in Luke was a different matter.

Passionate women didn’t care about things like blood sisters or whatnot – it wasn’t uncommon for mother and daughter to fight over a boyfriend.

When Joseph returned home that night after school, his meeting with the sisters went much more normally.

Joseph and Selina’s sisters barely had anything in common to talk about, nor was he interested in talking to them.

The two sisters were well aware of this.

They were polite and enthusiastic, but kept a reasonable distance.

The two girls took the guest room that night, so Joseph could only sleep in Luke’s room.

Joseph put down his pillow and blanket and looked at Luke, who was drinking tea. Finally, he leaned over and nudged his shoulder. “Is Talia interested in you?”

Luke laughed and put down the tablet in his hand. “Wow, our little Joseph is now a relationship expert?” He didn’t forget to rub Luke’s head with a smile.

Joseph resisted for a while, but could only admit defeat in the end.

Luke quashed his little brother’s confident meddling. He smiled and raised one finger. “Firstly, it’s normal for Talia to want to get along with a handsome guy like me. Just like how you remember the names of beautiful girls, how many ordinary girls do you remember?”

Joseph was lost for words. He really didn’t remember many. After all… why would he?

Seeing Joseph’s acquiescence, Luke raised another finger. “Secondly, when you were younger, weren’t you a little more enthusiastic about the girls who gave you snacks? Let me think: Molly and Scarlett came to our house before to play with you, right?”

Joseph’s face darkened. “Hey, I told you not to bring up the snacks.”

It wasn’t that Joseph was embarrassed, but if Mindy found out, she would definitely tease him. After all, she always felt that he was too stuffy!

After learning from Claire that Joseph had been made to wear girl’s clothes before, she had pestered him to wear a princess dress for her to see.

She had worn that dress when she was younger; wouldn’t it look like a miniskirt on him?
