It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1470

"It was alright, Mom. Thank you for your concern," Michelle answered politely. Michelle saw Cynthia as a graceful and elegant lady, from a world very different from hers.

"Come on, Michelle. You don't have to be so formal with me. Have fun and be safe," Cynthia urged. She had never looked down on Michelle because of her humble background. She strongly believed that Edward and Luke didn't need to marry women from rich backgrounds, but they needed women who were strong enough to stand by their side at all times.

"Don't worry, Mom. I will," said Michelle obediently. Though Jonathan and Cynthia always treated Luke as their own son, it still wouldn't change the fact that Luke was an adopted son. He treated the members of the Mu family with utmost respect. And as Luke's wife, Michelle also made sure to be the same.

"You must be tired. Get some rest. Bye!" said Cynthia. She felt that Michelle was being too polite to her. Michelle talked to her as if she were talking to her boss, and not her mother-in-law. Cynthia decided that she needed to have a long talk with Michelle when she returned.

"Okay, Mom. Bye!" Michelle hung up and heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Michelle, why were you being so polite to your mom?" Hilda asked, confused. She didn't understand why Michelle was being so formal to her mother.

"Oh, my mom is a distant, austere person. Never mind. Let's go buy our swimsuits," Michelle said, as she took out her wallet and walked out of the room with Hilda. Erin was at the hot spring too, but Michelle decided to ignore her and have fun in the hot waters.

"Michelle, are you really going to buy me one too? It's rather expensive here. I heard it goes upto dozens of dollars. And that price is dozens of times higher than the ones we get at the mall. But they said that the quality is better here," Hilda talked endlessly. Michelle rolled her eyes and ignored her complaining.

"Oh my god! Why are you here, fatty? Are you here to buy a swimsuit? But I don't think you can get into any of them," Erin taunted, giggling.

"Well, at least she has an original face, unlike someone who has had countless cosmetic surgeries," Michelle sneered back. As a gang member, she would, by no means, swallow insult and humiliation silently. As the saying goes, "We will not attack unless we are attacked; if we are attacked, we will certainly counterattack." She was never one to be bullied. And Luke was not around, so she didn't have to feign innocence.

"What did you just say? I haven't had any cosmetic surgery!" Erin yelled, angry and red-faced. It had never occurred to her that Michelle would see through her.

"Oh? Then why are you so pissed off?" Michelle asked casually as she rested her hands in her pockets. She liked wearing boy's clothes, and she looked rather roguish in them.

"You..." Erin was too furious to utter a single sentence. There were some boys around who were buying swimming trunks nearby. Most importantly, the boy whom Erin loved was also there. She had been pursuing him for a whole semester, but he hadn't even cast a glance at her. She was really frustrated by his avoidance.
