It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1525

After dinner, Michelle didn't stay long. She bid them all goodbye and left for home. When she got home, Luke still wasn't there, so she had some alone time to think. Erin's pleas were still in her mind and she didn't know what to feel. Michelle didn't want to help her, not only because she couldn't forgive what she'd done to her, but also because she knew Erin wouldn't change. But at the same time, she didn't have the heart to make other people suffer because of Erin's mistake. She considered talking to Luke about what happened today. And if he agreed with her, he could at least make them suffer less.

"What are you thinking about now?" Fatigue was all over his face, but he saw his wife's look. Luke hadn't been resting well the past few days, and it was catching up with him now.

She looked up at his voice. "Oh, nothing. You're back." His question startled Michelle, and she got up from the bed and walked to stand in front of Luke.

"Yes, I am," he said tiredly. His tone was not as icy as before. Luke did promise Michelle that he would try to make this relationship with her work. He would let his guard down around her, and at least be nice to her.

"You look tired," she pointed out. She looked at his face and stroked a cheek. Michelle couldn't help but worry about Luke as she realized how much she truly cared about her husband.

"Yeah, I'm a little bit tired. I'm going to take a shower first," Luke said while removing his coat. He wasn't a clean freak like Edward, but he wasn't lazy when it came to personal hygiene. Besides, maybe a nice shower would make him less tired and loosen him up.

"How about I draw a bath for you? I think it will help ease your tiredness. You can take your time relaxing while you wait." Michelle had to look up to see Luke's eyes. Her face was full of concern for him. Because of her height, she had to raise her head every time she wanted to look into her husband's eyes. She was too short, and Luke was quite tall.

"That's right. We've already put too much effort into this, so we need to get something out of it. Why? Why are you suddenly asking me all these questions." He stared at his wife with a confused look. He didn't understand why Michelle was asking about Erin's father's company. Usually, she didn't care about things like this. Besides, it sounded like she wanted him to go easy on them, and it surprised Luke. It seemed that Michelle had changed a lot from the strong-willed thug she once was. The bully Michelle would never speak for anyone, especially someone who wasn't nice to her.

"Uhmm, it's just that… I'm wondering that maybe we're going a bit too far? Perhaps, we are too harsh on Erin and her family. After all, the employees of that company are innocent." Her tone was hesitant, and Michelle didn't know what to think right now. Yes, she wanted to teach Erin a lesson for what she did to her. But Michelle wasn't sure if what they were doing was right. Admittedly, it was simply a feud between two classmates. There was no need to make such a big deal out of it.

"She never thought of the consequences when she decided to drug you, did she? Erin did this to herself. She made a mistake, so she should pay for it. It's that simple. Besides, have you ever thought about what might have happened if I hadn't come for you in time? Do you have any idea what would have happened to you if I wasn't there? That woman is so vicious. I think it serves her right. She's getting a dose of her own medicine. She's an adult, and she should always think twice before she decides to harm others," Luke pointed out. He'd always been on the dark side of society and had witnessed enough disgusting things to be aware of how dangerous the world could be. That was why Luke felt no guilt when he decided to take revenge on Michelle's behalf. And judging from her family background, he thought Michelle knew this, too. Maybe, the peaceful and happy life now made her forget all about this.
