It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1473

Luke did not feel different the first day Michelle left. But soon, he started to feel restless. He was not used to not having her around. He became annoyed and agitated, as if something was missing.

"What are you thinking about, Luke?" Edward frowned at him. He had called out Luke's name several times, but the latter had not made any response. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts, and that had never happened before. Was he in love?

"Sorry, Mr. Mu. I didn't hear you speak to me," Luke told Edward truthfully after pausing for a moment.

"What is it? Has Michelle not come back yet?" Edward asked in a careless tone, feigning indifference. However, his guileful eyes were clear with intention.

"Not yet. She'll probably come back soon," Luke replied in an unnatural tone. He avoided eye contact with Edward unknowingly. Still, he felt like he had no way of hiding himself under Edward's stare.

"Probably? Haven't you called her yet?" Edward asked again, frowning. He put down the pen in his hand, still gazing at Luke.

"No," Luke said honestly. To be more precise, he did not even have Michelle's number. She had called him in the past, but he never saved her number because he did not think it was necessary. He never felt any need to call her before.

"No way! She has been gone for three or four days now, but you have not even called her. What about her? Has she called you?" Edward felt utterly helpless about this situation. Sure, Luke and Michelle weren't a couple and weren't in love, but they could at least get along. They were living under the same roof, for heaven's sake! Why did they want to keep each other at a distance?

"No, she hasn't." Luke furrowed his brows, feeling strange. Michelle always called him up every time he was late in getting home. Now, it was already several days since she was gone, but she didn't call him. Was something wrong with her? Luke shook his head, refuting this suspicion. She had gone out with her classmates. Had something bad happened to her, he would have been notified long ago.

"Oh, God. You are such a strange couple!" Edward spluttered, not knowing what else to say. He could not tell them what to do. Luke and Michelle were adults, after all. They had their own ideas and judgments. They had the right to do whatever they wanted. Edward, as an outsider, could not butt in and get involved.

Luke's mouth twisted upon hearing Edward's reply. Was it so obvious that he did not care about Michelle? Everyone looked at him strangely. They always seemed to be exasperated when it came to him and Michelle.
