A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

"Mia, this is Rachel, my fiancée."

Rachel smiled and said to Mia, "Hello, Mia, welcome to my home."

Mia replied politely, then turned her head and made an exaggerated and incredulous expression at Luke.

Luke could understand how Mia was feeling.

After all, when she and Brian went to Myrme, he didn't even know who Rachel was, let alone that she was his fiancée.

At that time, Luke didn't even own a house.

But right now?

Mia and Brian's relationship was once again on the verge of collapse, but when she returned, wow, Luke had a car, a house, a job, and even a fiancée.

Therefore, Mia's shock is understandable.

I estimate that he and Letty will be even more shocked when they return.

"correct!"

Luke thought of Don and Letty, who hadn't been able to return this time, and said to Mia, "Don and Letty will be back by the end of the month."

Mia was slightly taken aback and looked at Luke.

"Come back? How do I get back?"

"Go back normally, don't worry, I've got the exemption order sorted out for him."

"..."

Mia froze, staring at Luke who spoke so casually: "An exemption?"

Luke nodded: "Yes, but the waiver is still in Sacramento. It will be back once things are settled there, around the end of the month. I'll check with the District Attorney then."

Mia opened her mouth and looked at Luke: "I...I don't know how to say it."

Luke smiled and said, "No need to say anything, this is between Tang and me. He's my brother, just like Brian is my brother."

Mia snapped back to reality and pouted.

“Lu Ke”.

"what."

"Go ahead."

Mia looked at Luke with a speechless expression: "Do you know what he's doing in Myrme?"

Lu Ke nodded, and then said, "He said it was the woman from the General Administration of Customs who took the initiative, and he didn't stick out his tongue."

Hearing this, Rachel couldn't help but look at Luke.

It seems to be saying, is it true or false? Did Brian really say that?

Luke shrugged.

Ok.

Actually, he added that last sentence himself.

but……

That's basically the gist of it.

He moved, but I didn't, which means I didn't betray you.

Ok.

Mia took a deep breath upon hearing this.

after awhile.

Mia spoke again, looking at Luke and shaking her head speechlessly: "By the way, what did Brian give you to get you to speak up for him?"

Luke didn't intend to hide anything from Mia and told her the truth: "Actually, I didn't want to get involved in your affairs either. Rachel told me the same thing, but I couldn't help it. He gave me too much."

Mia frowned, a hint of danger flashing in her eyes.

"He still has money? How much did he give you?"

"I didn't pay."

"what."

“But he called me sir.”

Lu Ke looked at Mia, whose expression was somewhat blank, and shrugged, saying, "Standing in front of me, bowing 180 degrees, and calling me 'Commander,' do you think that's too much?"

Upon hearing Luke's words, Mia subconsciously turned her head to look at Brian, who was wearing an apron inside the house.

Only a man knows his own man.

Brian, like Luke and Don, is a person with his own pride.

and so……

Mia pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then walked into the house.

Rachel, who was standing to the side, watched Mia walk into the house. After regaining her senses, she couldn't help but look at Luke and ask, "Really? If you don't stick out your tongue, nothing will happen?"

Luke paused for a moment, looked at Rachel, and said with a serious expression, "I criticized him the same way, but there's nothing I can do. He's my brother, so as a brother, I support him. But as a good man, I despise him!"

Rachel's expression softened somewhat.

after awhile.

Lorna also went home after school.

Coincidentally.

Just as Lorna reached the door and was curiously looking at the Dodge Muscle Car parked there, Vince drove up as well.

Lorna's eyes lit up as she watched Vince get out of the car, and she quickly went to greet him.

She recognized Vince because he had attended the Danes' funeral that day, and after that day, Luke would invite Vince over to his house almost every weekend for a grilled steak and a drink in the backyard.

When Vince and Lorna entered the room, the first thing they saw was Brian and Mia cuddling and kissing each other at the bar.

Lorna watched this scene with her mouth slightly open.

Vince was also slightly taken aback, then quickly coughed to regain his composure.

Brian and Mia separated quickly, like startled birds.

"Vince," Brian greeted Vince with a dry laugh, a greeting he hadn't liked much since Brian went undercover.

Vince gave a nonchalant "hmm," then put on a smile and hugged Mia, who had come over.

"Oh my god, Mia, it's been so long!"

"Long time no see, Vince."

After Mia and Vince hugged, their gazes fell on Lorna, who was standing behind Vince.

Vince then introduced the two men.

Lorna and Mia had never met.

However, Mia also knew Luke's true identity, and Luke also explained to Mia about Lorna's existence as his younger sister during a phone call.

With the arrival of Vince and Lorna, and after a single sentence that reconciled a couple whose relationship was on the verge of collapse, the pace of preparing the dishes quickened.

About an hour later.

When Lorna finished her homework and came to the backyard, the last piece of steak had just been taken off the grill.

soon.

Everyone took their seats at the dining table in the backyard.

then……

Lorna was just about to take a bite of her steak when she saw Vince, sitting opposite her, extend his right hand.

next second.

Lorna looked up.

into the eye.

Luke, who was sitting at the top, had already extended his hands, holding Rachel's left hand on his right and Mia's right hand on his left.

Lorna subconsciously imitated the others' actions, grasping Rachel's right hand and Vince's outstretched right palm, ultimately forming a closed loop.

Immediately afterwards, Lorna heard Luke, with a smile on his face, say a pre-meal prayer that he had never said before.

Lorna was a little curious.

After saying "Amen" along with the others, he bowed and said to Rachel beside him, "Rachel, isn't Luke a non-religious person?"

Anyway, in all the time she's been here, she's never seen Lu Ke do anything related to any religious sect.

However, she did see many instances of non-religious behavior.

such as……

One day, Lorna saw Luke secretly using the cross from Rachel's jewelry box as a beer opener to open beer bottles.

Rachel listened to Lorna's words and smiled slightly: "Your brother is not religious, but he believes in his family, and his family has come back today."

Lorna blinked, not understanding, but that didn't stop her from being immediately drawn to the fragrant steak on her plate.

Sitting in the head seat, chatting and laughing with Mia, Brian, and Vince, Luke felt exceptionally happy today.

Although he now has a certain status and the ability to protect himself.

But it must be said that Luke has begun to miss the time when he first came into this world, living in the Tang Auto Repair Shop before he was able to protect himself, and the happy times he spent with his family.

Fortunately.

The other two people at this table will be back by the end of the month.

As Lu Ke chatted and laughed with the group, he was thinking to himself.

I enjoyed dinner tonight.

This applies to everyone.
