It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1503

"You know, I thought I'd be okay with it. I didn't care whether you loved me or not, I just wanted to be with you, so I could love you with all my heart. I thought it would be enough, as long as I could keep you with me," Michelle continued. "But how wrong I was! Over time, I found it hard to give without getting anything in return. I have become tired and frustrated when my love for you did not get the reciprocation it deserved. So I tried to please you, hoping that I could get through to your heart. But it was yet another daydream, Luke. No matter how hard I tried, whatever I did, you just wouldn't appreciate me or what I do! I feel degraded begging for your love. But I beg you again, Luke, could you please care a bit more for me? I am not asking for much, just stop looking at me with coldness in your eyes. Be a bit more gentle with me, and I'll be happy with it." Michelle cried her heart out, almost hysterically. And this time, she did not hold back despite what Luke might think.

"I'm so sorry," Luke muttered. He never knew what was in her heart before, and he was shocked to learn just how she actually felt, especially after all those things that he had said and done to her. He knew that he was deliberately making her give up on him and leave him. He had been refusing her, turning her down, and insulting her in the most cruel way possible. He knew that it would upset her and discourage her, but he never thought that he got so bad that it would break her heart. She seemed all careless and easy-going that he never thought that there was a fragile and sensitive girl behind that strong facade. Now he felt like the world's biggest asshole for failing to see all that.

"Is that all? You're sorry? You know what, Luke? I don't need an apology. Like I said earlier, all I want is for you to care for me a bit more. Acknowledge me. Look me in the eye like a normal person, maybe see me as your wife. Is that so hard to do?" Through her tears she looked at him, looking all soft and delicate.

Luke looked at her without a word. Then, before he knew it, he leaned over, cupped her face in his hands, pressed his lips on hers with great affection and gave her the biggest kiss he had ever given his entire life. A kiss to make up for all the wrongs he had done. Silence had replaced Michelle's voice. Their lips remained locked for more than a minute.

Michelle was astonished. She forgot that she was weeping and her mind just went blank, overwhelmed by what was happening. She looked at him wide-eyed, not knowing what to do.

Luke could feel that his heart was pounding harder than ever. Her lips were softer than he had imagined, and this was the only thing on his mind now. It seemed that taking the first step and kissing her was something easier than he had thought. "Stupid Luke" he said to himself.

'Does he have any idea what he is doing?' was the first thing that crossed Michelle's mind. Was this another one of his tactics to humiliate her? He would kiss her now, so that he could tease her later by claiming that she had seduced him? Then immediately after, he would go back to treating her like he would do to a piece of garbage, right? At the thought, Michelle came to her senses all of a sudden, and struggled to free herself. But Luke pulled her back, more tightly and kissed more deeply and passionately.

Finally, when Michelle felt that she was practically out of breath, Luke moved his lips away and looked her in the eyes. Panting, Michelle could see an expression of tenderness on his usually cold face.

"Well... I thought it was the only way to stop you from nagging. Besides, you shouldn't have looked at me like that, I just couldn't help it," Luke said a bit awkwardly. He gave a little cough to cover up the embarrassment.

"I knew it," Michelle said, licking her lips to ease the pain from his kiss. 'Fortunately I wasn't too naive to think that he kissed me out of love. He will make a fool of me again sooner or later, ' She thought to herself.
