Chapter 1935: A Straight Man’s Solution

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After dealing with Carrie and Lorna, Luke still didn’t have time to relax.
That was because… there was still Skye.
Luke could only sigh. Spring had arrived, and it was the season of love.
Fine, that was pure nonsense.
The fact of the matter was that the reserve members whom he had invested in were younger on average, which was why all the problems were piled up here.!!
The supergirl trio, Lorna and Skye were all in their early twenties, and were indeed at an important stage of their lives where they had to decide on their futures.
An ordinary person without resources or guidance would have muddled their way along in society for a few years.
By the time they came to their senses, they would realize that they were closing in on 30.
At that time, not everyone would have the willpower and courage to change and work hard.
Most people would just live like that and become part of the masses, leading ordinary lives.
Lorna was a little like that, but Luke chose to intervene because of her heaven-defying superpower.
The others were different. Luke had never overlooked their training.
They had received long-term training that exceeded the elite level. Even the twin sisters, who were relatively idle, were still far more learned than a regular kid.
One of them was a B-list singer, and the other was a top Internet celebrity. They had mostly relied on themselves to get to this level.
Apart from their professional skills, they had at least received passable grades in psychology and economics.
They might not be as good as some outstanding college students, but in terms of development and real-world practice, they were better.
Stacy and Claire were together, but not only didn’t Luke relax, he demanded even more from Stacy.
Her pride exploded when he said, “Claire is so outstanding. Aren’t you afraid that someone better will pursue her?”
Stacy’s ability made her far better than an ordinary person.
With strict self-discipline, it was easy for her to be outstanding.
But these girls couldn’t compare with Skye.
She had always been proactive in learning, and had been collecting and sorting out intelligence for the PDD for a long time. Now, she had even joined the Justice League.
If Carrie, Lorna and Stacy were trump cards 1, 2 and 3, then Skye was king of the trump cards.
Her intelligence, character, support abilities, and combat skills were all outstanding.
To put it another way, those who were smarter than her weren’t steady enough. Those who were steadier than her weren’t strong enough, and those who were stronger than her weren’t smart enough.
Luke basically didn’t have to worry about such an outstanding girl, yet she was the one he saw the most often.
That was because… the person she knew was Luke the detective.
The problem this time was a rich young man whom Skye met in college.
She only treated him as a friend, but he wanted to be her boyfriend.
If the other party was a playboy, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Skye wouldn’t like him, nor even give him the time of day.
However, this guy was outstanding in all aspects and he wasn’t fickle. Even with Skye’s intelligence network, she couldn’t find anything wrong with him.
She had even guessed that this person was gay and was only looking to use her as a shield.
Unfortunately, there was no evidence that this outstanding young man liked men.
This was just a small interlude in life, and wasn’t worth Luke making a fuss over.
But Skye had come looking for him twice recently.
Luke was a straight man and had even more straightforward ways. He could easily sense Skye’s thoughts.
The young man wasn’t important. The important thing was that this person had caused Skye to start fixating on Luke.
Who could he blame? He could only blame it on the fact that spring had come.
That was the biggest headache for Luke.
He was the one who had found Skye in the sewers. He had sent her to school and resolved the danger of her ability hurting her. He had also ‘found’ Big Dipper to suppress the restless Jiaying.
He wasn’t surprised at all that Skye had a good impression of him.
But… they were too close to each other; he would never make a move!
He wasn’t the only one who was close to Skye. Selina, Mindy, Joseph, and the neighbors in Clinton were all close to both him and Skye.
Also, everybody in the Bat Squad knew Skye’s code name, Hand of Destruction.
If he really made a move, then the subsequent trouble…
Luke had been unable to control himself at the very beginning and had fooled around for a while in the first year or so.
In the five to six years after that, he was only intimate with Jenny, Elena and Max.
He had never touched any other woman.
He had so much tech and equipment to play with in his lab; he really wasn’t interested in picking up women.
There were too many women who looked at him with sparkling eyes, and most of them just lusted after his body.
Elizabeth, who had followed him from LAPD to NYPD, genuinely liked him.
However, they crossed paths less and less, and he used this as a way to indirectly turn her down.
Skye, on the other hand, was the trump card he had groomed, and she was working for the Justice League.
Solving Skye’s problem was much harder than solving Lorna’s problem.
After careful consideration, Luke smiled. He was overthinking it.
He wasn’t a Casanova to begin with – he should just act like the blunt straight man that he was.
So, he accepted Skye’s dinner invitation, and they went to a Spanish restaurant in Long Beach.
After a few years, Skye was no longer a malnourished little girl.
Her face was rosy and her lips were full. Her long black hair was smooth and shiny, and her eyes were full of confidence and determination.
Sitting down opposite Skye, Luke didn’t hide his admiration. He nodded with a smile. “It seems you’ve been doing well recently.”
Skye wasn’t shy. She nodded gracefully and asked, “Thank you for your concern. What about you?”
Luke chuckled. “Shouldn’t we talk after we order?”
Skye slapped her forehead. “Yes, you like to enjoy delicious food.”
Luke summoned the waiter and quickly ordered.
Skye couldn’t help but ask, “Can you be full with so little food?”
Luke nodded. “Of course not, but few people come here to get full, right?”
Skye couldn’t help but laugh.
Luke didn’t want to beat around the bush. He asked, “Do you want a boyfriend?”
Skye’s heart jumped, but she said calmly, “Are you talking about that rich young master? I’m not interested.”
Luke chuckled. “Don’t forget that I’m also a rich… young man.”
Skye’s eyes widened slightly, and she couldn’t help but laugh. “You? Young man?”
Luke shrugged. “I’m only 25. I can’t be considered a middle-aged man, right?”
Skye choked.
She suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was indeed very young.
Although Luke’s face had always been “young,” he had always acted too “middle-aged,” which made people subconsciously overlook this point.
Skye was silent for a moment before she asked casually, “So? Is someone rich also chasing you?”
