It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1479 Yes I Do (Part One)

"Why?" Erin continued to pester him. She would not give up until she got what she wanted.

"You'd better stop asking. I don't want to embarrass you and break your heart," Bradley said as he raised his eyebrows. Although he was saying this to Erin, his eyes were fixed on Michelle. It was the first time for him to have been turned down by a woman and it was not acceptable. He needed to know the reason why Michelle didn't want to be in the same group as him. "Is it because of that bitch, Michelle?" Erin turned her head to Michelle and shot daggers at her. She thought that Michelle was held to be the most culpable.

"Erin, watch your mouth. Don't push me to resort to violence!" Growing up with gangsters, dirty words were nothing new to her. But what she hated the most was when some people spat 'bitch' whenever they were displeased. It was insulting.

"Huh! Who do you think you are? Don't you know whom you are talking to, here? Just admit it, you are a bitch!" Biting her lips, Erin wanted to show Michelle who she really was. She was about to throw a tantrum. But Bradley was in front of her and she didn't want him to see her ungraceful side. She had no choice but to suppress the anger in her and act graciously.

He watched all this silently, with a playful smile. Actually, the more he knew about Michelle, the more he became interested in this newcomer.

"Are you happy with what's happening now?" Michelle was annoyed. She really wanted to rip that smile off his face. The mischievous and playful look on his face disgusted her.

"If I say yes, what are you going to do? Are you going to beat me up?" Bradley stopped smiling. He already knew the answer from her eyes which glowed with fire.

"Beat you up? I'm not that bold. I don't want to become the target of all the hate from the girls." Michelle turned around and walked away, not caring whether Bradley followed her or not.

"I have a feeling that you hate me." Bradley quickened his pace to catch up with her. Erin was pissed off, seeing that Bradley and Michelle completely ignored her.

"I neither hate you nor like you. You're just a normal citizen to me." Michelle frowned. She wore a pair of flat boots today, and she didn't have any problems walking in rocky steps of the mountains.

"Can you tell me why? I don't remember that I have ever offended you." Bradley did not want to give up easily, trying to get more out from the already pissed off Michelle. He did not know how to take a hint.

"Yeah, why indeed? In fact, I also want to know why. If you do know, you can just go ahead and spit it out." Michelle suddenly stopped and turned around to face him.

"Are you... angry at me?" Bradley asked hesitantly. It seemed that she had a lot of issues with him.

"Seriously, dude. What do you think? Should I or shouldn't I be angry? We just met and we are not very familiar with each other. So why are you so intent on wanting to team up with me?" Michelle spat out what was on her mind. She was very blunt and straightforward, and she usually offended many people because of this. She was just being honest. If she didn't like someone, she would say it directly. She didn't want to betray her heart and stress herself out just for the sake of looking pleasant and playing up to anyone. "Because you are so different from all the other horny girls. Isn't this reason good enough for you?" Bradley replied honestly. She stayed cool and wasn't like other girls who went crazy for him. And that caught his eye and sparked his interest in her. He got challenged and wanted to know why she didn't have so much as a bit of feeling for him.

"Oh! So what you are saying is that you like to be abused. There are tons of other girls out there who desperately want you. But instead you came after me and you seem to enjoy being verbally abused by me. It looks like something is wrong with the wiring in your brain, dude?" Michelle continued to walk away after saying those words. Although the competition she joined was only a small one, she was taking it seriously. She didn't have any extra time to waste, discussing such a boring topic with him. One of the biggest turnoffs was when a man liked to talk about himself.

"Yes, maybe you are right, otherwise why would I be so curious about you? By the way, may I ask you why you don't have any interest in me?" Bradley continued to walk behind her. The usual cool and aloof man suddenly became very talkative when he was with Michelle, probably a little too talkative and annoyingly persistent.

"Because I am the only person who has a clear mind. I know what I want and what I don't want. Everyone else around here has got some problems in their heads. And embarrassingly, their personal standards are too low." Michelle replied impulsively as she turned around again to look at him from head to toe. She got fed up with him pestering her and wanted so desperately to get rid of him.

"Wow, am I that despicable in your eyes?" He was both surprised and disappointed at the answer that he got. It never occurred to him that a woman would think of him this way. It turned out that all those girls who went crazy for him were all fools. Well, according to Michelle.

"Maybe you are. What I think of you and anyone else is my own business," Michelle said honestly. In her eyes, except for Luke, all the other men were nothing to her.

Bradley's mouth twitched when he heard this. She was too honest and he really didn't know how to respond. But the more Michelle tried to get away from him, the more he became captivated by her. That was the nature of men, always striving for something that was difficult to get. This was part of men's desire for the un-achievable which provided the greatest pleasure and satisfaction when finally conquered. And Michelle's cold attitude towards him only ignited his eagerness to win her heart.

The trip lasted for a week. Every day, Michelle missed Luke and anticipated that he would send her messages or call her. She was hoping that he would miss her too. But there was nothing. Not one ring nor one message came, not even a single emoji. When Michelle finally arrived home, she felt that the past seven days had passed like a dream.

Everything was so familiar back home, the familiar flavor, the familiar furniture, but one thing was missing - the familiar man she missed most who at the same time was also the man she feared to see most.

Tired as she was after the trip, she still went to Edward's house to say hello to Luke's parents first. It surprised her that she also met Daisy there. Then she realized that it was Sunday today. Where was Luke then? Had he already come here today? Michelle wondered. "Michelle, you're back! How was your trip? Did you have fun?" Daisy looked at her with a gentle smile. She was quick to notice the disappointment in Michelle's eyes.

"Yes. It was good. The scenery was very beautiful! It was just breathtaking and I will remember that place for a long time. It would be nice to go back, next time with the family." Michelle smiled to cover her embarrassment. She felt more helpless than happy during this trip. Erin, with her wicked attitude really exasperated her.0000000
