It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1499

"You..." Bradley stammered, "Aren't you the President of FX International Group?" Bradley had been staring at Edward ever since he had shown up. He was from a rich family. It was normal for him to know Edward's face.

"Do I know you?" Edward frowned. He looked at Bradley carefully now. But he couldn't remember his face.

"Oh, no, sir. But I know you. I have seen your pictures in the financial newspapers. My father also mentioned about you a lot, and has always asked me to learn from your example." Bradley's face lit up like Christmas. He had even forgotten all about Luke and Michelle.

"Thanks! Please give your father my regards. Bye!" Edward disliked it when others flattered him in order to get close to him. He dismissed Bradley fast so that he wouldn't have any chance to talk to him further.

"You're not coming?" Luke asked, looking at Michelle, who hadn't moved from her spot.

"I'm coming!" Michelle threw a glance at Bradley and then ran to catch up with them. Bradley was totally confused now. He had always thought that Michelle was born in an ordinary family. But from what he just witnessed, he figured that there was more to her than she was letting on.

This was not Michelle's first time riding in Luke's car. She felt uneasy as she stole a glance at the cold, handsome face beside her.

"Are you still angry at me?" she asked, a complex feeling emerging from her heart. She did not know what it was. She was hoping that he would be angry, yet she was afraid he might be. Contradictory emotions swirled inside her.

"We'll talk about it when we get home," said Luke. He was focused on following Edward's car tightly. He wouldn't forget his duty. It was a peaceful world and seldom did accidents happen, yet it paid to be alert at all times because hell could break loose in the blink of an eye. Luke was not a man who left anything to chance.

Michelle understood that it was not the proper time to discuss the problems between them. She stopped talking, leaned against the back seat, and closed her eyes. She thought about everything that had happened today. It was such a mess. She had to sort it out soon.

Luke cast a side glance at her. For the first time, he thought that she was beautiful when she was quiet, which he had never noticed before.

By the time they arrived home, Michelle was fast asleep. She did not open her eyes when the car came to a halt in front of the house. Luke did not wake her up. He always thought that he was the only man she liked. He had, in fact, taken it for granted. But today, he realized that she might be taken away from him by another man, who was either really brave or really stupid to declare war on him. He suddenly noticed that she could have more choices in her life, but she refused them because she loved him.

That other guy was young. He was younger and more energetic than him. More importantly, that guy liked her. But what did he do for her? He refused her over and over again, without opening any doors for her. If she fell in love with another man, he would not stop her from pursuing her happiness. But at that moment, he felt his heart tighten in some kind of pain which he had never felt before. It was only a slight hurt, yet it made him want to change his attitude towards her. He could feel something changing in him.

"Oh! Are we home already?" Michelle opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the surrounding outside the car.
