It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1496

"I never thought that your identity dishonored me. If my behavior or words made you think like that, my apologies. Well, the food is getting cold. Let's just eat." Luke was telling the truth. He didn't love her, but that had nothing to do with her identity.

"May I ask you a question? It's rather intimate, deeply personal." Luke seemed to be in a good mood, and Michelle thought that he might answer the question this time.

"Sure. As long as I can answer it, I don't mind," Luke said coldly, but his face softened somehow.

"I heard that there used to be a girl that you loved deeply. Is she the reason that you don't love me?" Michelle asked after hesitating for a long time. She had pondered on that for many days, and now she finally had the courage to ask Luke.

"What?! What girl? I don't know what you are talking about." Luke dropped his chopsticks and stared at Michelle right in the eye, looking puzzled.

"Uh... I heard you were deeply hurt by that girl." Michelle stared back at Luke, confused. 'Luke doesn't seem to be lying. Did Edward lie to me?' she wondered.

"Well, what you are talking about is pure nonsense! Who told you that?" Luke's face twitched and he wondered who had dared to cook up a story like that.

"Edward. He told me last time in B Country." Michelle lowered her head in embarrassment. She finally realized that she had been fooled by Edward.

"Damn it! Don't listen to him. He was just making fun of you." Luke rubbed his temples in frustration. It had never occurred to him that Edward would say something like that about him. But Luke could do nothing about it. Edward was his boss, so there was no way he could get even.

"Sorry! Now I feel kind of stupid to have believed it." It dawned on Michelle how gullible she was and she felt sad. No wonder Patricia always called her "silly woman." It turned out that she was indeed silly, believing everything she heard from anyone.

"Mr. Mu is a sly and manipulative fellow. Not all his words are to be trusted." It was the first time that Luke spoke to Michelle in a friendly manner. She was really surprised, but she did not make a big deal out of it. If she did, she might jinx it and it could disappear all of a sudden. So she just sat with Luke and quietly cherished that moment.

"I get it," Michelle murmured. Her face flushed crimson with embarrassment. No wonder Edward had smiled weirdly at that time. He had been deceiving her!

"Just eat! The food is getting cold. It wouldn't be as tasty then," Luke urged. Luke also noticed his own unusual attitude towards her. He felt a little strange about himself.

"Sure!" Michelle was elated. All she wanted was that they would get along with each other like this from now on.

Luke cast a meaningful glance at her and was about to say something, but eventually he said nothing. He just shoved piece after piece of food into his mouth. Although the dishes were not as delicious as those in the Mu family house, he enjoyed them very much. After all, Michelle was still a beginner in cooking, and she had especially made the dishes for him.
