Chapter 1408 Tied In Wedlock (Part One)


    After getting the stamp on their marriage certificate, Luke and Michelle were finally tied in wedlock.


    Previously, their life was riddled with skirmishes, quarrels and insults, but Michelle was now Luke''s


    wife. However, at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Michelle realized that she was the only one happy


    about it.


    "Here are the keys to the house. Pack your things and move them there. But I can''t help you. I have to


    go to work." Luke took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to Michelle. He gave out


    a faint snort, barely looking at her, and then turned around to leave.


    "Okay," was Michelle''s simple answer. She really didn''t know what else to say. Luke had already told


    her that he could only give her a nominal marriage, and she''d better not try in vain to expect other


    things.


    She didn''t pack up that much. Except for some clothes and things she held memorable and dear, she


    didn''t need to bring anything else.


    It was said that the house was newly decorated as ordered by Edward. The ritzy and glitzy furniture


    suited his taste. Nothing in that house was cheap. Michelle felt embarrassed remembering how she


    refused his help rudely before. Now, she was concerned how to get along with him from here on.


    Thinking that she would be living here with Luke afterwards, Michelle was of course secretly pleased.


    She didn''t know whether she could be a good wife, but she would double her efforts anyway.


    While hanging her clothes in the wardrobe, Michelle suddenly found that Luke had nothing but ck


    suits and white shirts to wear. She frowned at the monotonous and dark colors and thought that her


    husband was too stereotypical of a bodyguard. She thought long and hard, trying to remember if he


    had worn anything other than white shirts and ck suits, and she couldn''t.


    "Mrs. Luo, would you like to have dinner here at home or in Mr. Mu''s house?" The servant asked


    Michelle as she went downstairs.


    "Huh? Mrs. Luo? Maria, that sounds so strange." Michelle gave the middle-aged Maria a nce, her


    expression confused. Cynthia sent Maria from the Mu family''s house to take care of this ce. Michelle


    didn''t think that she would be Luke Luo''s wife so soon.


    "Not at all. You are married now. You''d better get familiar with this title soon." Maria began to work as a


    servant in the Mu family''s house at a young age and hadn''t retired yet. Ever since Jonathan and


    Cynthia moved to Edward''s house, Maria was sent there to care for them with only a few people left to


    look after Jonathan''s house.


    "Ah ha. I know. But you can just call me Michelle, Maria. ''Mrs. Luo'' sounds good but I am not really


    used to being called formal titles like that. We are family now." Michelleughed out loud. She was


    more of a tough girl rather than a prim and proper one.


    "But…" Maria hesitated. She had to observe the proprieties, but she couldn''t disobey Michelle either.


    Now she was at a dilemma, not knowing what to do.


    "No worries. And by the way, Luke said that we''d be having dinner at Mr. Mu''s house afterwards, so


    there is no need to cook for us here," Michelle instructed. Then she got herself ready and went to


    Edward''s house. As a new daughter-inw, she had a lot to learn so she was being careful.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Cynthia was very happy to see Michelle. She was actually the one who insisted that Luke and Michelle


    no need to cook separately. At least not tonight.


    "Well, Michelle, how was your first day as Luke''s wife? Have you settled in with your stuff?" Cynthia


    held Michelle''s hands affectionately. She loved her new daughter-inw very much.


    "Yes. I have unpacked and everything has been put in order. I didn''t bring many things, just some


    clothes." Michelle felt nervous in front of her respectable and attractive mother-inw. She never


    troubled herself much about dresses, so she was a little restrained and uneasy.


    "Have a seat. Since you are married to Luke, you are one of us now. But don''t get stressed out. Just be


    yourself." Cynthia could tell that Michelle was nervous. She smiled at Michelle elegantly and nobly but


    was gentle enough to put her at ease.


    "Okay. Thank you." Michelle rubbed her nose and grinned embarrassingly. It was not until the day their


    parents met that she found out that Luke was an adopted son of the Mu family. She sighed as she felt


    that she knew very little about him, but it was not her fault. Luke worked as Edward''s bodyguard and


    assistant. Other than that, she didn''t know much about his real identity.


    As a new wife, Michelle knew nothing about cooking. She grew up around gangs and adopted that kind


    of rough and always on the go kind of life. Surprisingly, Cynthia didn''t know how to cook either. She


    hired cooks and didn''t have to worry about everyday meals for her and her family. Michelle went to the


    kitchen because she thought she needed to learn about cooking. She couldn''t be as good a cook as


    Leena now, but at least she needed to learn to cook something decent and fit to eat. It had been a


    sugar or soup with too much salt. There were other horrifying stories such as entire families needing to


    go to the hospital after eating what the new daughter-inw made.


    In this family, Daisy was always thest one to arrive. Although she looked cold on the outside,


    Michelle got to know that she was a lot nicer than the others who gave out a feeling of invisible


    pressure.


    "So Michelle, have you adjusted to living there now?" Daisy in an olive-green army uniform looked


    bright, snappy and respectable.
