It'll Come Naturally

"What about your life after getting married? Are you gonna stay here or live somewhere else? I'll prepare the house for you." This was what Edward was concerned about. If Luke and Michelle stayed here, he would have the rooms in this house rearranged. But if they

wanted to live somewhere else, all he needed to do was find another house that would be perfect for them.

"We haven't discussed it yet. But we probably won't live here. I've started looking around and I have my eye on a few good houses nearby." The reason Luke did not want to stay here with the rest of the family was because he did not want them to find anything wrong between Michelle and him. He was worried that their relationship would be the center of excessive attention. A different house would be good to maintain privacy. That was why he preferred to live with his future wife separately.

"Okay, I got it. I'll take care of the house hunting. You don't need to worry about it," Edward said in a serious tone. He stopped making fun when it came to serious topics like this.

"It's okay! I can pay for it!" Luke refused. He had saved a large amount of money through all the years. He could even afford to buy a grand shopping mall if he wanted to. He had been well-paid thanks to Edward. Besides, he had stock shares in FX International Group. He was literally quite rich.

"Consider it our wedding gift to you and your new wife! That's all. Don't refuse us brother!" Edward surely knew that Luke did not lack money, and that he was actually rich. He knew exactly how much money he made. But the house was a gift that he wanted to prepare for him and he would not take no for an answer.

Besides, it was not a tough task for Edward to find a house nearby, especially that money was not an issue. He had bought a house not far away from his own home at highest price. That house was newly built and no one had ever lived there. The seller was not a local of this city and only built it for investment. So he agreed to sell it to Edward without hesitation when Edward paid a fortune. What was more, he made the deal on behalf of FX International Group. That was the key. All the businessmen in the city knew that they would earn a promising amount money with FX International Group as one of their clients.

Everyone apart from Daisy, who couldn't get out of work, was present when the two families met. Before they met, Michelle's father was unhappy and complained a lot. Michelle was his only child, after all. He believed that his daughter deserved the most wonderful wedding ceremony, instead of just a simple registration. When he found out, however, that Luke's father was the former boss of FX International Group, he stopped complaining immediately. He was not a person of narrow mindset and he surely knew what FX International Group was and its power and capabilities. But he could not help feeling worried at the same time, because they were at the top of the society's hierarchy and quite unreachable. Would his daughter be happy to marry into this kind of family and lifestyle? Would they find fault with her because of her family background? As a father, he had to think about all these concerns. In his eyes, this strong-willed, confident and self reliant woman would always be his little baby girl.

One the other hand, the longer a mother-in-law spent time with her son-in-law, the more she would like him. Leaving her husband's opinions aside, Michelle's mother was quite happy with Luke. She stared at Luke with a smile on her face all the time, which made Luke twist the corners of his mouth a lot. He understood why Michelle was good at staring at someone for a long time now. She inherited that ability from her mother!

"This is it. You can still get out of it if you want. Are you sure you want to do this?" Before they stepped into the civil affairs bureau, Luke stopped and asked her, giving her the last chance to turn around and change her mind.

"Are you? Let's go!" Michelle took a deep breath. She had long decided and chose him. So no matter how difficult her life might be in the future, she would be strong and wear a smiling face to deal with all the hardships, all for this difficult man that she loved with all her heart.

There were other couples inside. But none of them were wearing a calm and composed face like them. Michelle felt a bit awkward in such an atmosphere. All the couples around were talking and laughing intimately and happily except them. They came with serious faces with no smile at all. It made people feel like they did not come here to get married but to get a divorce.

Luke stood there with a cool face. There was no expression on his face at all as if he was being held hostage. He just kept distant. It seemed that the happy air and couples nearby did not have any effect on him at all.

Michelle momentarily paused as if in deep thought when she was about to sign on the paper, which made Luke frown a bit. What was she thinking now? Was there a bit of regret?

"Miss, you can stop now if you don't really want to marry him." A young female was proceeding with their registration. She never saw a man come here to marry with a cool face like Luke. He even read the marriage declaration so reluctantly with a poker face and a monotonous voice during the whole time, as if someone was holding a knife against his throat.

"No. I'll be done soon." Michelle smiled awkwardly. She made up herself slightly today and put on a skirt she seldom wore. She dressed herself elegantly, thanks to Leena's fashion sense. Leena, being a celebrated designer made sure that her friend looked great on her wedding day and prepared all of these for her.

When their marriage certificates were sealed officially, they both felt quite relieved as if the seal was stamped on their heart. She felt that this man finally belonged to her for eternity, and he knew that his life would be changed completely, which was something he dreaded a lot.00000000000
