Chapter 1410 Tied In Wedlock (Part Three)
Luke came downstairs naked to the waist, wearing a pair of casual trousers. He stopped when he saw
Michelle, but then he went straight to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water and drank it.
"You''re home, Luke. I thought you were still in Daisy''s house." Michelle jumped up from the couch
instantly when she saw Luke. Her mncholy was gone, and she brightened up, just seeing him. When
she saw Luke''s six-pack abs, a mild blush appeared on her cheeks. Her eyes were glued to his
midsection, staring at him without a blink. She had never seen his abs before.
"Wipe that drool off your face, will you?" Luke put the bottle of water back in the refrigerator and
brushed past her in a distant way.
"Err… Drool?" Michelle wiped her lips. Then she realized that she was fooled as she found that she
didn''t salivate at all. She turned around and followed Luke upstairs with a ttering smile.
"When did youe back? Why didn''t you wait for me?" Michelle asked while she trotted to catch up
with Luke. Luke didn''t give any answer but went straight into his study.

"Hey, say something." Michelle frowned, now having a bit more courage toin.
"I remember I have warned you that we''re a couple in name only. Don''t try to impress me. It''s useless.
And please, oh please, don''t disturb me here at home." Luke suddenly stopped, and Michelle bumped
into him unprepared. She felt great pain in her nose, but his cold and ruthless words hurt her more. He
didn''t care that his sudden action might have physically hurt her too.
"I''m sorry. It''s my fault." Michelle bit her lip, turned around sadly and walked silently to the bedroom,
humiliated. Luke just exhaled heavily, rolled his eyes and went to his desk. Apart from being Edward''s
bodyguard, he still had to be in charge of all the security measures under the FX International Group,
so he wasn''t as leisurely as he seemed and had a lot of work to do. In many cases he had to bring his
work home.
Michelle had been a stubborn girl from the beginning, whether with the big things or the small things.
She seldom cried over difficulties, but she felt some tears streaming down her face just as she turned
around. If it was someone else that talked to her in this way, she would just smile nomittally, but in
front of Luke, she was more of a delicate and sensitive girl rather than a tough and stubborn one.
She sniffed back her tears and kept telling herself that it was okay. It wasn''t a big deal. He was right.
He told her what the setup was going to be and she was the one who vited that rule. But now she
just couldn''t stop her tears.
This was supposed to be the case, and she needed to remind herself to just ept it, even though
what happened was different from what she expected.
"Aren''t you going to sleep here?" Michelle was surprised to see Lukee in and take his clothes with
him.
"No. I''ll be sleeping in the guest room." Luke didn''t want to answer Michelle, but he thought it was
necessary to tell her that.
"Could you tell me why?" Michelle closed her eyes. Her eyes were still a little red and stung a little from
the crying.
"I thought we had reached an agreement before, but it seems that you have no idea of who you are in
this marriage." Luke looked back and gave Michelle a sharp and fierce stare. It could have cut the
atmosphere like a knife.
"I don''t know what you meant by that." Perhaps Michelle was humble in front of love, but she was
arrogant and dignified in the face of Luke''s questioning.
"Oh I know that you know what I meant by that. You can''t wait to have sex with me! Don''t forget that
what I give you here is only the marriage certificate, not love. Don''t you think it''s a shameful thing to
have sex without love?" Luke stared down at Michelle with a scornful smile. There was a glint of
mockery in his eyes. Obviously, he was pushing Michelle away, stopping her from getting close to him
and actually having a romantic rtionship with him.
"Do you think I''m an easy girl?" Michelle asked in a wobbly voice. She was cream-faced, clenching her
fists. How could Luke humiliate her like this? It was normal for a couple to sleep together. Why did Luke
say it was a shameful thing? What was shameful about that?
"You know the answer well. Go to bed early if you have nothing else to do." After stating his piece, Luke
left without looking at her, leaving a resolute and ruthless figure.
Michelle stood there, not knowing what to do. It was exactly the marriage Luke had described and he
was being true to it. No surprises there, but she had this wishful thinking that she could turn this around
into a fairy tale. What she did was actually asking for an insult.
This was her wedding night but the room was so quiet that she could hear a pin drop. And she could
also hear the sound of her own heart breaking into a thousand pieces. She shouldn''t have had any wild
wishes for this marriage. Her wishful thinking only brought her much pain.
The night grewte. The bed was just an arm''s length from her but she stood frozen, quietly, forgetting
the time and herself. Like a ghost, she let her thoughts wander around.
Desire was really a very strange thing. Sometimes people would want to get something desperately,
but suddenly realized that it wasn''t what they wanted after they got it. They set goals, sometimes
impossible ones, but found that they were wrong in the first ce. Michelle was a good example. She
was in a dilemma and didn''t know how to free herself. And this was just on her first night as a married
woman.
She spent a sleepless night. The next morning, she wasn''t downhearted anymore as she had
straightened out her thinking. When the sun shone through the window curtain and gently cast its rays
on her body, she let out a brilliant smile. She knew that every rtionship had its share of ups and
downs, and all the problems would be readily solved as long as she rose to the challenge. She was
going to patiently wait for that day. Only in this way could she stand on top as the winner.
