It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1502 An Involuntary Kiss (Part Three)

"Listen. If I'm not mistaken, your so-called boyfriend doesn't love you, is that true?" His words touched Michelle's sore spot and further destroyed her dignity like a crumbling empty snail shell. She was stunned, but quickly came to herself again. "What makes you think that?" She said after taking a deep breath. From Michelle's point of view, he was telling the truth. But she was unwilling to show her pain or sorrow, so she asked the question calmly, wanting to know his opinion from an observer's opinion. "I saw the way he looked at you, and I didn't see love in his eyes. Of course, it's only my personal opinion, it might be one-sided and even radical, but I trust my intuition," Bradley said confidently. In order to win her heart, he thought it a must to put his rival down with words first.

"Yeah, you are right," Michelle said with a casual air. "It's only your personal view. Unfortunately, you are wrong. We are very much in love, you can be sure of that." Michelle smiled contemptuously. But however confident and satisfied she seemed to be, her heart was bleeding. She feigned happiness, but her heart was suffering, choking inside.

"Fine. Here is a very simple question: If he really cares about you, how come I never see him pick you up after school?" Bradley pressed on, raising his eyebrows. He was sure that he could creep in under her defenses bit by bit.

"Michelle, over here." Just then, Luke's voice came from not too far away. The moment he saw Michelle appear at the gate, he got out of the car to greet her. However, he never expected that the over-sized boy he met days ago was again with her. Michelle was right, Bradley was the one pestering her. The look of delight faded from Luke's face, and he put on his cold and distant look, just like before.

"I'm sorry, but I've got to go," Michelle smiled triumphantly. She didn't care what Bradley might think, or how he would react to it. She just turned her back to him, and trotted to Luke, whose very presence was a big slap on Bradley's face. At least it seemed that Luke did care about her, and it proved Bradley wrong.

Luke's luxury car alone was enough to steal the scene and catch everyone's attention, causing a stir. And when those losers discovered that its owner was a cold and handsome man, they went nearly mad. This situation was exactly what they had been dreaming of, so when they finally saw it, they couldn't take their eyes off Luke, and had forgotten all about the school hunk Bradley who seemed like a schoolboy compared to Luke, a real man.

Bradley, on the other hand, watched Michelle get in the fancy car. Even he himself couldn't deny that Luke's car was much more expensive than his. So Michelle's boyfriend was also a rich person? He wondered.

"Luke! What a surprise! Why did you come and pick me up today?" Michelle asked, her heart rejoicing. She had completely forgotten about Bradley and the displeasure he brought to her.

"I'm here to see who you are dating, and I'm lucky enough to see your little boyfriend. You two seem quite close, huh?" Luke quipped. It made Luke very angry to think of how Michelle walked and talked with that boy in that intimate manner.

"So you are here to continue this fight with me, right? You couldn't wait till I get home?" said Michelle stiffly. There had been so much quarreling recently and she felt upset and frustrated. It hurt her a lot to hear Luke's words and the warmth she felt just now had immediately turned into another bitter disappointment.

"Why? Ashamed into anger when being caught red-handed?" Luke went on while he started the car and drove away from the school at a speed so fast, it sent the leaves on the ground flying up into the air, some of them landing on Bradley's car.

"I can't stand your irrational suspicions any more! Yes, he did offer to drive me home, but I refused. He just would not leave me alone until you came to my rescue. But now I know I have simply jumped from the frying pan into the fire getting into your car and listening to all of your nonsense!" Michelle exclaimed helplessly. Now it seemed that Bradley was right, Luke didn't care about her. Not even a bit! She was too upset to realize that Luke thought this way precisely because he cared about her.

"Why are you raising your voice? So, this means that you are actually guilty?" Luke asked, still with contempt, and sounding more ironic now.

"Stop the car, now," Michelle ordered decidedly. She must get out of the car and get away from this man as quickly as possible, or else she would go insane just listening to him.

"No way," Luke answered and locked the doors at once, fearing that she would get too emotional and jump out of the car even while it was still moving.

"Tell me, Luke, is this supposed to be funny? You always say and do things to hurt my feelings," Michelle blurted. "Why? So what do you think of me? A wife only in name who is just your toy, am I right? You would tease me whenever you want and toss me aside like a piece of trash when you don't need me. No, I'm less than a toy. You might look at a doll once in a while, but what about me? You won't even bother to look at me!" Michelle suddenly broke into tears. She was so frustrated that she fell apart and wept in the car, and it was the first time that she acted this way in front of Luke. She had been repressing her emotions all this time, and she couldn't bear it anymore. So she gave way to a flood of tears without caring whether she was making a scene.

"I..." This was also the first time that Luke had to deal with a crying woman, and he was at a loss. Should he comfort her? Should he do nothing until she calmed down? He quickly pulled off the road, but didn't unlock the doors of the car. He just looked straight ahead as Michelle wept and sobbed.
