Made me understand indirectly

Is this natural english?

I remember last year that when I asked you to accompany me, you made me understand indirectly that you didn't want to accompany me.

Thank you

I remember last year that when I asked you to accompany me, you made me understand indirectly that you didn't want to accompany me. It's technically correct but not really natural. Here's how it's most likely to be said: I remember last year that when I asked you to accompany me, you led me to believe that you didn't want to.
