Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1527 Sensible Side Of Michelle (Part Six)

"From now on, behave yourself," Luke said brusquely while looking at her one last time. Turning

around, he walked into the company premises with Edward without looking back. Luke sincerely hoped

he would never have to see or meet Erin ever again. He knew the kind of girl she was and didn't like

her one bit.

The moment they stepped into the elevator, Edward turned around to look at Luke, with a knowing

smirk on his face. He looked intrigued as he stared at his companion as if there was something

interesting on his face. Out of the blue, Luke felt uncomfortable, once he sensed the intensity of NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Edward's gaze.

"Why are you looking at me that way?" Luke asked while touching his face self-consciously. Was there

something on his face? Why was Edward looking at him in such a strange way? It was unnerving!

"I am thinking," he started, and paused. "Has Michelle completely melted you? I've noticed that

recently, all you talk about is her. Your life seems to be revolving around your wife now. Don't you

notice this about yourself?" Edward knew he was right. He'd known Luke for years but had never seen

him acting this way. It was as if being with Michelle changed him, making him softer than usual. But, he

was also glad about this change. They made a cute couple. Edward, though, was curious about how

Michelle had tamed the cold and stoic Luke.

"Are you really enjoying making fun of me? Why are you being so damn curious?" Luke demanded

while rolling his eyes in exasperation. There was nothing new about Edward being nosy like he was

now. While Luke had a vague idea what Edward hinted at, he didn't want to humor him with an answer.

He was annoyed because he had never been nosy when it came to Edward and Daisy's relationship.

"Of course I'm curious as hell! Have you seen yourself lately? You were always cold and

unapproachable. But ever since Michelle came into your life, you've become different. She's melted the

ice around your heart easily. So how can you expect me not to be curious?" Edward said. With Daisy

away, Edward was quite bored. He missed his wife so much. And other than work, there was nothing

else for him to do. That was why he wanted to hear juicy gossip about Luke and Michelle. He was truly

surprised by the big difference in Luke. It was something that had never happened before. It appeared

Michelle had had a tremendous influence on Luke. And being a usually nosy person, Edward wanted to

know Luke's thoughts.

However, Luke was in no mood to satisfy Edward's curiosity. So, he threw an icy glance at Edward after

his annoying questions. The man was too curious for his own good. But, he knew the man's character,

which was why he didn't like discussing his relationship with Michelle. Besides, it was still delicate and

fragile, and he needed to figure it out himself first. So, he would take the cue from Daisy and do what

she often did with her husband -- ignore him!

Finally, in deference to Michelle and Luke, Edward decided to change his decision regarding Tosca

Corporation, much to his dismay. Instead of allowing it to go bankrupt, he allowed Erin's father to stay

on as company shareholder. It was the best he could do. It would mean Erin's family wouldn't be as

wealthy as they were before, but they would also not lose everything overnight. He considered it charity

work. He saved a family from breaking apart. Though he'd only seen Erin once, it was clear to him that

she was the type of girl who would go to the extreme. There was a big possibility that she would do

something reckless and stupid if her father's company really went bankrupt. And Edward didn't want to

see that happen. So going easier on them was also doing him some good by saving him from more

trouble. It was a win-win situation.

After the recent events, Erin learned to keep a low profile. She still didn't like Michelle but realized it

wouldn't do her any good to go after her. Knowing what Michelle was capable of, Erin tried her best to

keep her distance. Admittedly, she was a little afraid of her classmate. Besides, she'd already lost many

'friends' because of what happened. All those pretentious people knew she was no longer the rich and

powerful princess that she once was, and quickly deserted her once she had no use for them. That was

how things worked in the real world, and Erin learned this lesson the hard way.

Michelle was relieved that Erin would no longer harass her, meaning she could finally live in peace.

She knew becoming friends with Erin was a remote possibility. For now, it was best that Erin avoided

her, and this should make both their lives easier. They only had to consider each other as complete

strangers to co-exist peacefully.

The fact of the matter was, it was Hilda that benefited the most from this mess. She was once the least

popular girl in school because of her figure. But since she was friends with Michelle, people had started

talking to her, even sucking up to her, to try and get in touch with Michelle with her as a conduit.

Everyone was aware that Michelle had a powerful husband who worked in the famous FX International

Group, who was protective of her. They all wanted a piece of Michelle. And approaching Hilda first was

a good idea.

It seemed as though Michelle's life had become peaceful once more. But she still felt something

missing at the back of her mind, and this would sometimes dampen her spirit. Her life was perfect now

-- a promising relationship, good friends, and a place where she could learn to draw. She couldn't ask

for more. Yet there was still an emptiness in her heart, probably because not everything was perfect all

the time.
