"Little boy, don't you think I am a pretty and charming girl? They are chasing after me because they fell in love with me at first sight." Michelle smiled with pride of a peacock. Obviously, she was rather confident in her beauty.
"Uh, I don't think you are as beautiful as my mom." Justin pressed himself against the door in an attempt to keep away from the woman. Of course, his mother was the most beautiful woman in the world for him. Basing it from the woman's words and behavior, it was confirmed that she and Leena were really each other's doppelgangers. Thus, Justin couldn't help but stay away from her.
"Hah! I don't think it's fair to compare me with your mom." Michelle felt a little awkward about the young boy's reaction. She pondered hard on how to retort Justin and save herself from embarrassment. It took her a while to figure out something. It was a split second before she felt the car suddenly pulled over.
"Get off the car! They are gone." Luke demanded in a chilly voice. Even though Michelle had rescued him from a danger a couple of times, he still held a cold manner towards her.
"Eh! It's you, Luke! Who is this little boy? Is he your son?" It was only then that Michelle recognized who the driver was. And more to her surprise, Luke had a son! Was he married to a woman already? She felt her breath hitched. That realization felt like a blade that stabbed her chest and pierced her heart.
"Uncle Luke, do you know her?" Justin looked back and forth between Luke and Michelle. There must be something wrong between them.
"No!"
"Yes!"
Duke's and Michelle's answers came in a chorus, which made Justin even more confused.
"What? How dare you say you don't know me? Have you forgotten that I was your savior?" It vexed Michelle to see Luke pretend not to know her. He had always ignored her like she was invisible.
"Get off the car, now!" Luke demanded again as he ignored her angry face.
"No! I don't have any money now. I don't want to walk back. Luke, could you drive me back home, please?" Damn it! She swore she would find out who had stolen her wallet and cell phone, and beat him to a pulp. How dare that thief steal from her? She was the daughter of the Dragon Faction's leader! She had ordered so many delicious dishes but found her wallet and phone gone after she ate. She had no other option but to run. That was the reason why she was chased by many people earlier.
"If you don't get off, I will pull you out." Luke cast a stern glance at her. She had been so naive in the past few times they met. Thus, he didn't want to be connected with her. Otherwise, he might be as stupid as she was.
"What? Are you trying to take advantages of me? If you dare touch me, I swear I will scream out loud. There is a little boy here. You would freak him out if you are so rude." Michelle threw a challenging look at Luke. She was pissed off by his indifference. How dared him to threaten her? She would never ever back down.
"Uncle Luke, since you know her, let's drive her back home." Justin had always had a soft spot for girls, though the lady in front of him didn't look weak at all. Justin still displayed himself as a gentleman. He would always remind himself to be nice to girls.
"Luke, you can't hold a candle to him. Shame on you! Little boy, you are so adorable." Michelle held Justin's head with both her hands and kissed him on his cheek. Thrill ran down her spine when she heard the boy called Luke uncle. It was just that she hadn't realized that she had a thing for Luke.
Justin struggled to get away from her and wiped his face with a paper towel. Regret hit him immediately. He was now willing to do anything just to take his words back. He hated being kissed by strangers. Like Edward, he was a germaphobe.
"You said you're starving. We have no time to send her back." Luke rolled his eyes at Michelle. She was a troublemaker and Luke didn't want to get close to her.
"You can drop me at FX International Group and then drive her back. Come on, she is a lady." Though Justin hated being kissed and wanted to drop her there, he swallowed the thought back. After all, his mother always told him to be nice to girls.
