After getting the stamp on their marriage certificate, Luke and Michelle were finally tied in wedlock. Previously, their life was riddled with skirmishes, quarrels and insults, but Michelle was now Luke's wife. However, at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Michelle realized that she was the only one happy about it.
"Here are the keys to the house. Pack your things and move them there. But I can't help you. I have to go to work." Luke took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to Michelle. He gave out a faint snort, barely looking at her, and then turned around to leave.
"Okay," was Michelle's simple answer. She really didn't know what else to say. Luke had already told her that he could only give her a nominal marriage, and she'd better not try in vain to expect other things.
She didn't pack up that much. Except for some clothes and things she held memorable and dear, she didn't need to bring anything else.
It was said that the house was newly decorated as ordered by Edward. The ritzy and glitzy furniture suited his taste. Nothing in that house was cheap. Michelle felt embarrassed remembering how she refused his help rudely before. Now, she was concerned how to get along with him from here on.
Thinking that she would be living here with Luke afterwards, Michelle was of course secretly pleased. She didn't know whether she could be a good wife, but she would double her efforts anyway.
While hanging her clothes in the wardrobe, Michelle suddenly found that Luke had nothing but black suits and white shirts to wear. She frowned at the monotonous and dark colors and thought that her husband was too stereotypical of a bodyguard. She thought long and hard, trying to remember if he had worn anything other than white shirts and black suits, and she couldn't.
"Mrs. Luo, would you like to have dinner here at home or in Mr. Mu's house?" The servant asked Michelle as she went downstairs.
"Huh? Mrs. Luo? Maria, that sounds so strange." Michelle gave the middle-aged Maria a glance, her expression confused. Cynthia sent Maria from the Mu family's house to take care of this place. Michelle didn't think that she would be Luke Luo's wife so soon.
"Not at all. You are married now. You'd better get familiar with this title soon." Maria began to work as a servant in the Mu family's house at a young age and hadn't retired yet. Ever since Jonathan and Cynthia moved to Edward's house, Maria was sent there to care for them with only a few people left to look after Jonathan's house.
