It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1481 Yes I Do (Part Three)

She had worked so hard on her homework and now it was gone. She was extremely furious. She had to hand in the homework on Monday. Now she had no choice but to draw a new picture. Even if she tried to remember all the details in her former painting, it wouldn't be the same as the original which was done by looking right at the scenery in person. She was in a fret because she couldn't have a good sleep tonight even though she was exhausted. But she really didn't want to move now. She only wanted to lie in bed and close her eyes. Michelle pulled at her hair in despair. If Erin was right in front of her now, she would definitely punch her in the face and shave her bald. Then she would see how Erin could show off with her swollen face every day. She was doing her best not to show her true gangster colors but if a bitch like Erin would push her to the edge, she would gladly give her a taste of her fist.

"What are you doing? Are you hurting yourself now?" Luke crossed his arms and leaned against the door, smiling playfully as he watched her tear at her hairs and scream inwardly in frustration. "Oh! Well, what are you doing here?" Michelle hurriedly smoothed her hair which was in a mess. She felt very embarrassed of being caught acting like she was possessed by the devil. "Well, I just heard some strange noises coming from your room, so I came here to check if anything is wrong." Luke snorted and then turned around. He was about to leave. "Luke, can you spare several minutes for me?" Michelle asked abruptly. She suddenly found a new subject that she wanted to paint for her homework. Forget the mountain scenery. "What?" Luke stopped and said shortly, not willing to waste any words.

"Can you be my model?" Michelle pleaded while biting her nails.

"Pfft. What makes you think that I'd agree." Luke snorted and refused her without hesitation.

"Why not?" Michelle didn't want to give up. She had only one day left and she was desperate.

"You will take advantage of me. I am sure of it." Luke was a cocky and arrogant man and he had every reason to show off. He knew what a hot guy he was!

"Oh...umm..." Michelle was surprised. She looked at him with her eyes widened. When did this serious and dull man begin to tell jokes? Especially provocative ones?

"Could you think about it for one second? please." Michelle took a deep breath, trying to come around from the astonishment.

"No way. You'd better find a quicker way to solve your own problems rather than waste time bargaining with me here." Luke walked away as soon as he finished his words. Model? How absurd! It was a job for that effeminate and metrosexual Rain, not him! Luke thought.

Michelle lay back on the bed, depressed and disappointed. She knew she couldn't count on him. He didn't even want to talk to her, how could he possibly care about her homework? She regretted to have asked him on a whim with the hope that he would help her. She got the bitter answer. And now she felt worse.

Some people, once let go, will be gone, forever. It was commonly believed that one could always find someone better next time. And for Patricia, she knew clearly that Tom would not always be there, waiting for her. And she might not find anyone who'd make her heart flutter the way he did. So after much pondering and careful consideration, she had the answer to the question that Tom asked her.

"So, have you thought it over?" Looking at the woman who stood in front of him, Tom asked calmly as he sat at his office desk. He seemed outwardly composed, but deep inside, uneasiness and anxiety flooded him in waves. He feared that he would get an answer that was different from what he was expecting.

"I think, you already know the answer, don't you? Because you are the only man I want. Even if it is only guilty conscience that made you offer that proposal, I still don't want to let this chance slip by." Patricia forced a smile. He appeared nonchalant. Was it because he was so sure of her heart that he looked like that? He knew that she couldn't live without him, Patricia thought.

"You overestimated me. I'm not a prophet and the ability to read people's minds is not something that everyone could acquire." Tom sighed with relief. As long as she agreed to let him take the responsibility, everything would still be on the right track. Thinking of this, everything that had happened between them seemed to be well planned by the God. Probably he had had sex with her the other night with a clear purpose. He needed a reason to take care of her for the rest of her life, so he exerted himself tirelessly and indulged himself in the amorous love that night.

"But are you sure that your parents will like me?" This was what concerned her the most, because she really didn't want him to have trouble with his family. Although she was not sure if she was important enough to influence his relationship with his parents, she still cared a lot.

"Don't worry. As long as it is my decision, they will be all for it. It won't matter to them if I marry one of my nurses, a homeless person or even a cat or a dog." It was just a figure of speech and he didn't really mean to degrade Patricia. Although she understood what he tried to say, she still felt uncomfortable on hearing his remark. She didn't know why. He should have at least used classier examples.

"Okay, I say yes. Yes! I do!" Patricia said firmly, as if fearing that she would regret the next second. She spoke with curt finality and told herself that there was no going back. This was it!

"Yes? Yes! Great! There must be a wedding ceremony! You agree with this, right?" Tom looked at her. It was his mother's wish to have a wedding ceremony for her son, and he would finally be able to fulfill it.

"Yes of course, but can we wait until Leena comes back?" She couldn't imagine her wedding without Leena by her side. Leena was her BBF and her absence would be a big regret in her life. She would be happy in this marriage and surely she wanted Leena's blessings. In fact, she wanted Leena to be her maid of honor.

"I agree. She is my sister and I also want her to be there on the biggest day of our life." Tom used 'our' instead of "my" in his words. It clearly showed that from the moment Patricia said yes, he bound her to him and would never let her go.

A marriage was settled without a matchmaker's help or their parents' permission. What would await them? What would their married life be like? Were they going to be happy in this marriage or not? It would all depend on how hard they were willing to work for it, to fight for it.000000000000000
