NovelEnglish"A friend from my class. She wants me to go shopping with her," Michelle said, sliding her phone into her pocket. Luke was behaving very strangely today. He had never been bothered about her daily life. But he was showing some interest today. It was totally weird because she was usually invisible to him.
"Okay," Luke replied, indifferently. He had been lit up and had planned to take her out for a walk or something. But his passion was put off by her words. Now that she was about to head out for shopping, he couldn't ask her to go for a walk anymore.

"Fine," Luke snorted and then went upstairs, leaving her alone.
Michelle bit her lower lip lightly. She had thought that there might have been a little improvement in their relationship. But, it turned out that it was nothing but an illusion. He was as cold as he always was to her.
Standing by the window on the second floor, Luke watched Michelle walking out of the house at a brick pace. Luckily, the transportation service near the house was quite convenient. So even though she did not drive, she could still take a bus or a taxi.
Luke did not tear his gaze away from her receding figure until she had disappeared around the corner. When she was finally gone, a wave of loneliness swept through him. He had never had this happen to him before. He felt bored in her absence, and was upset like he had lost something important. He looked at the empty front gate, and quickly turned around and walked away from the window.
"Why is HE here?!" Michelle exploded when she saw Bradley standing beside Hilda. She felt as if she was being treated like a fool. And the one who had planned all this was her good friend, or so she had thought. Her heart tightened in pain and anger.

e phone before. But I didn't think he would be so handsome." She ogled at Luke obsessively. He looked so mature and calm. A boy like Bradley could never give out such an aura.
"Uh... He..." Michelle was at a loss. There was no way that she could explain this situation to either Hilda or Luke right now. Luke felt awkward and angry. Since when had he become her brother instead of her husband?
Bradley stared at the man for a while and after hearing Hilda, he came forward and said, "You are Michelle's brother. Nice to meet you. I'm Bradley He, Michelle's classmate." He extended his hand out for a friendly shake. Luke stared at his hand and then looked at him coldly, without responding. Bradley had to withdraw his hand awkwardly. He was infuriated. He had never been treated this way by anyone. First Michelle, and now her brother. He gritted his teeth, but didn't say anything.
"Is that how you've introduced me to your classmates?" Luke asked through clenched teeth. Although he was wearing sunglasses, Michelle could still feel his fierce look on her.
"It's not what you think. I'll explain it when we get back, okay?" At that moment, a thought suddenly struck her. Luke was home when she had left. Then why was he here? Did he follow her secretly? Michelle felt her anger rising when she thought of that possibility. She thought that he did it because he didn't trust her.
