It could watch TV shows while the fiend worked; this treatment couldn’t be any better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Selina sorted out the items, she asked, “Did Aurora piss you off again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke threw the various unwanted junk into a big cardboard box. “No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t look very happy,” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luke continued to throw things in, he told her about the Soderberg family and the conflict with Monroe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina moved a table lamp around the living room and tried to find the best place for it. “Hearing you say that, I get it now. If it were my father, he would probably go after that person with a gun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled. “Would you keep in touch with a drug addict despite Mario and Sandra’s objections, and give him so much money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina snorted. “If I gave that person five thousand dollars, they’d probably beat me up and call me stupid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked, “Are you sure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina said, “In my father’s words, kids have to be taught a good lesson when they go astray. I took a beating when I was young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was curious. “How?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina glared at him angrily. “I was too young so I don’t remember, but when I was five, I took money from my dad’s wallet to buy a cowboy hat. He gave me a thrashing when I got back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke found that odd. “I’ve never heard Sandra mention this before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he went to her place for dinner, Sandra would often tell embarrassing stories about Selina’s childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina chuckled. “Because I bought the hat for Dad. Strictly speaking, I didn’t steal any money. I just bought him a birthday present with his money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Then didn’t you suffer for nothing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina finally put the vase down and nodded in satisfaction. “Not really. Since then, my father never touched me again. We talk it out instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A blessing in disguise,” Luke concluded simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted as they cleaned up the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke could have gotten a housekeeping service to do it, but he felt more comfortable doing it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a man who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness and a little OCD. He had never used a housekeeping service at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family would be living here in the next few days, and he didn’t want anyone else touching places like the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his ears twitched. Putting down the cabinet he was holding, he went outside and looked at Gold Nugget’s kennel on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little girl was squatting in front of Gold Nugget with pleasant surprise on her face. “Hey, golden puppy, give me a smile.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Nugget couldn’t be bothered with this sort of low-level coaxing. It continued eating its snacks unhurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it didn’t hate the little girl in front of it. At the very least, she hadn’t come barreling over to pull its fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl leaned forward and slowly stretched out her hand. “Be good. Let me touch you. Just once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Nugget was unmoved. As it ate its cake, it watched a TV show on a tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could tell that the little girl’s hands were clean, unlike some brats who would touch it with greasy and muddy hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gold Nugget got dirty, Selina would nag at it while she helped bathe it. It was very annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl finally touched it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big golden retriever just looked at her indifferently before it continued looking at the phone. She was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the big golden retriever she dreamed of — genuine, open, tolerant and elegant, like an elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this golden retriever liked to watch TV dramas? This... wasn’t strange. There were dogs who liked to watch football games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but want to touch the dog’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was huge and furry. It would definitely feel nice to touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, a pair of black dog eyes glared at her, and it sneezed in dissatisfaction, before it moved its head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl chuckled and continued trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could sense that the big golden retriever wasn’t angry, but just a little unwilling to let her touch its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... she had to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s watching a TV show. You’ll disturb it if you touch its face,” someone said not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl tilted her head and saw a young and handsome man waving at her with a smile. “Hi, Mindy. Long time no see. Where’s your dad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy was blank for a moment, as if trying to recall something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she was shocked, and she pointed at him. “Are you that big, warm blond from the plane?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Luke’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. Since when was he like a golden retriever?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women, even minors, indeed had very strange logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Luke.” He could only give his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had only met her once with this identity. Even if Mindy had a deep impression of him, she might not be able to recall his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy blinked. “Oh, nice to see you again, Luke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t too sorry for her slip of the tongue, since a big, warm blond was how she had labeled Luke in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had complained about this guy at the time, his gentle temperament had left a vivid impression on her after the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this your dog?” Mindy immediately asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite suitable for a big, warm blond to raise a golden retriever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled. “Sort of, but it’s very old. You can’t go crazy with it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy said, “Can’t I touch it?” She looked disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Touch the back of its head. Just don’t block it from watching TV.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy immediately touched the back of Gold Nugget’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t touch its face, but the back of the dog’s head was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Nugget couldn’t be bothered to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t have any objections to this level of petting. Dollar even liked it when people touched it like this, so it let the little hand do whatever it wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s its name?” Mindy asked as she looked at the cute golden retriever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gold Nugget and Dollar are both its names,” said Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy found that odd. “Two names?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged. “Your dad calls you Mindy, but also calls you darling or sweetheart, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy said, “But there’s only one name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked, “Can dogs differentiate between names and nicknames?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy paused and thought for a moment, before she shook her head helplessly. “Probably not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Nugget glanced at her again. Foolish little girl, tricked by the fiend again. Sure enough, she was all breasts and... Hm, she was no breasts and no brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s your dad?” Luke asked as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy said, “He’s out doing some sketching. I’m going to the supermarket to buy something for lunch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked, “You? Make lunch?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-06T03:36:08.828Z",1,"novelbin.me","4babee1f4dfe307a26c5c421f2599dac9b5dd4904fec05ed4381606f0f68cc83","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-984","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-982",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
