It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1405

"Excuse me? What did you just say? Are you serious?" Michelle opened her eyes wide, staring at him in disbelief. She never saw that coming and was totally out of the blue. She was expecting a rude retort, not a marriage proposal. It wasn't a romantic proposal but still, what a surprise! She was so shocked that she just could not think of a proper response. So many things were going on in her head at the same time.

"Well, I hate repeating myself," Luke said impatiently. Had Cynthia and Jonathan not kept bugging him that they would like to introduce a woman to him, he would not have said that. Even though he was just an adopted son, he considered them his natural parents and gave them the highest respect. And since it was their wish for their son to get married, he would make every effort to please them. That being said, Michelle was just a sacrificial lamb whom he took advantage of to make them happy. Apart from that, she was nobody to him.

"Fine. I think I heard what you said. It is just very hard to believe. Especially with your attitude towards me. Also you blocked me. I can't call you," Michelle said in a wronged tone. Anyway, she received the best and most inspiring response from him. Of course, she was not that naive to believe that he decided to marry her because of love. But she did not care. She believed that he would eventually fall in love with her someday as long as she tried hard enough and did her very best.

"I'll unblock you. Oh, and just to be clear, there won't be any wedding ceremony. We'll simply go to the civil affairs bureau to register. If you are fine with it, we can do it soon. If you are not, then forget about it, this whole deal is off." Luke turned around and left as soon as he finished speaking. He did not allow any time for Michelle to think it over. Was this the kind of marriage that Michelle really wanted? He did not care. Plus he was not about to spend a single cent on a circus ceremony that he despised. He was a jerk, not an idiot.

Michelle bit her lips. For her, it was fine to have no wedding ceremony at all. But her parents might be unhappy with that arrangement. Although her family had something to do with the underworld, they merely ran some "special business", and they were not one of those big time criminals. As parents, they would surely want their daughter to have her dream wedding ceremony.
