Chapter 1499 Luke''s Changes (Part Three)
"You..." Bradley stammered, "Aren''t you the President of FX International Group?" Bradley had been
staring at Edward ever since he had shown up. He was from a rich family. It was normal for him to
know Edward''s face.
"Do I know you?" Edward frowned. He looked at Bradley carefully now. But he couldn''t remember his
face.
"Oh, no, sir. But I know you. I have seen your pictures in the financial newspapers. My father also
mentioned about you a lot, and has always asked me to learn from your example." Bradley''s face lit up
like Christmas. He had even forgotten all about Luke and Michelle.
"Thanks! Please give your father my regards. Bye!" Edward disliked it when others ttered him in
order to get close to him. He dismissed Bradley fast so that he wouldn''t have any chance to talk to him
further.

"You''re noting?" Luke asked, looking at Michelle, who hadn''t moved from her spot.
"I''ming!" Michelle threw a nce at Bradley and then ran to catch up with them. Bradley was
totally confused now. He had always thought that Michelle was born in an ordinary family. But from
what he just witnessed, he figured that there was more to her than she was letting on.
This was not Michelle''s first time riding in Luke''s car. She felt uneasy as she stole a nce at the cold,
handsome face beside her.
"Are you still angry at me?" she asked, aplex feeling emerging from her heart. She did not know
what it was. She was hoping that he would be angry, yet she was afraid he might be. Contradictory
emotions swirled inside her.
"We''ll talk about it when we get home," said Luke. He was focused on following Edward''s car tightly. He
wouldn''t forget his duty. It was a peaceful world and seldom did idents happen, yet it paid to be alert
at all times because hell could break loose in the blink of an eye. Luke was not a man who left anything
to chance.
Michelle understood that it was not the proper time to discuss the problems between them. She
stopped talking, leaned against the back seat, and closed her eyes. She thought about everything that
had happened today. It was such a mess. She had to sort it out soon.
Luke cast a side nce at her. For the first time, he thought that she was beautiful when she was quiet,
which he had never noticed before.
By the time they arrived home, Michelle was fast asleep. She did not open her eyes when the car came
to a halt in front of the house. Luke did not wake her up. He always thought that he was the only man
she liked. He had, in fact, taken it for granted. But today, he realized that she might be taken away from
him by another man, who was either really brave or really stupid to dere war on him. He suddenly
noticed that she could have more choices in her life, but she refused them because she loved him.
That other guy was young. He was younger and more energetic than him. More importantly, that guy
liked her. But what did he do for her? He refused her over and over again, without opening any doors
for her. If she fell in love with another man, he would not stop her from pursuing her happiness. But at
that moment, he felt his heart tighten in some kind of pain which he had never felt before. It was only a
slight hurt, yet it made him want to change his attitude towards her. He could feel something changing
in him.
"Oh! Are we home already?" Michelle opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the surrounding outside
the car.
"What were you doingst night? You look really tired and you fell asleep in such a short time." Luke
shifted his eyes and avoided eye contact with her to calm his messy heart.
"I was working on my paintingst night," Michelle said, pursing her lips awkwardly. She had only
closed her eyes to think about some stuff. She did not think that she would have fallen asleep all the
way.
Luke did not respond. He cast an interested look at her, and then turned around, got off the car, and
walked into the house without looking back. His back looked so distant to her.
Michelle sighed slightly. What else could she do? She got off the car. She hesitated for quite a long
time outside. When she finally entered the house, she did not see Luke around. She guessed that he
might have gone upstairs. She was relieved. This way, she did not have to talk to him immediately. She
did not know how to exin today''s event to him yet. She was still struggling with it.
"Mrs. Luo, here you are. Mr. Luo asked me to inform you to go upstairs as soon as you came in," Maria
said in a hurry, as she passed her a ss of water. Luke knew Michelle''s personality very well. He had
guessed that she would try to buy time.
"He said so? OK then." Michelle was annoyed again. It looked like she had nowhere to hide anymore.
"Yeah! Why don''t you go upstairs already? Or he might get angry," Maria sighed helplessly. She
wondered when their rtionship would improve and when they would start loving each other. They
both deserved happiness.
Michelle took a deep breath. She stirred up her courage and started walking up the stairs as if she was
getting ready to face death, unflinching. What happened had happened and now she had nowhere to
hide. So, it was better to face the consequences sooner thanter. Despite such brave thoughts, she
was climbing the stairs as slowly as a snail.
"What are you doing? Climbing a mountain?" Luke stood near the second floor rail and looked down at
her climbing the stairs. He was wondering why she hadn''t shown up yet, and then found hering up
the stairs as if she was half dead from the effort.
"Woah! Why are you there? You scared me!" Michelle patted her chest slightly, pretending to slow
down her heartbeat from the scare.
"Well, if I weren''t here, I wouldn''t have known that you were trying so hard to buy time." Arms crossed
over his chest, Luke teased her. He found her quite cute from that angle.
"I wasn''t buying time! It''s these stairs. They are steep." Michelle had to admit to herself that that was
themest excuse she had ever used in her life. But that was the best one she coulde up with at
the moment.
"Why don''t you me your short legs?" Luke teased again. That was the stupidest excuse she could
have given. At least, she should havee up with something smart enough to convince him. ''Steep
stairs'' was the best she coulde up with? Needless to say, he wasn''t impressed. But he was
definitely amused.
"Ha ha! That''s right. My short legs are also the reason." It was true that she did not have long, pretty
legs like Leena or Daisy. They were both tall and had beautiful legs. But hers were pretty fine,
me, but her genes.
