Only you in my love

Chapter 710 Happy Birthday

Michelle lay on the bed and turned on the bedside lamp. She held her phone and messaged her

roommates, telling them she had said something wrong.

Her roommates soon responded in their group chat.

Lydia replied, "Really? Leon said that?"

Michelle said, "Yes."

Debra asked, "So Leon knows that you have a crush on someone and have already kissed him, and

yet he doesn't know that you're talking about him?"

Michelle typed, "Yes."

Rainy suggested, "Just tell him the truth!"

Debra didn't agree. "We still don't know how Leon really feels about Michelle. If he only thinks of her as

his sister, won't he feel weird?"

Lydia echoed, "Not only that, but he may also stay away from Michelle because of it.

The most important thing is to find out Leon's feelings for Michelle."

Rainy typed, "You're right. Michelle, how did Leon react when he found that you like someone?"

Debra agreed. "Yes. How did he react?

What was his reaction?" Michelle recalled Leon's reaction. "Nothing special."

Lydia asked, "Did he look happy?"

"Not really."

Lydia asked, "Was he unhappy?"

"Neither."

Lydia sighed and replied, "Then I have no idea what he was thinking."

Debra asked, "Did you notice any slight changes on his face? A frown? Or anything that indicates that

he was upset?"

Michelle replied, "I don't know how to look for subtle clues like that. Only Nini can analyze something

like that."

Rainy typed, "I guess you didn't notice. You must've been very nervous."

Lydia said, "Poor Michelle. Don't give up! Leon's very gentle and good to you, different from how he

treats others. I feel like the way he smiles is different when you're around."

Debra echoed, "I also feel the same way, though I don't know if I'm only feeling that because I know

Michelle likes Leon."

Rainy wrote, "It's so frustrating to have a secret crush on someone."

Lydia asked, "And then? Did he say anything else?"

Michelle replied, "Yes. He said I was still too young to date someone. He also told me I shouldn't kiss

someone until I've established a relationship with him."

Debra asked, "You? Young? You just look young, but you'll be 22 after midnight!"

Lydia wrote, "I think Leon likes you but he just doesn't know it yet."

Rainy echoed, "I have the same feeling."

"Really? Is he the same as me? I've had a crush on him for so long but didn't know it until recently. Got

it! I know now what I should do. Thank you. I'm so happy." Michelle was thrilled.

Debra was stunned. "What?" Lydia asked, "What are you going to do?" This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Rainy wrote, "I also want to know."

As she held her phone, Michelle's face lit up.

She thought, 'Maybe Leon likes me, but he just doesn't know it yet.

I'll just wait for him patiently to figure it out.'

A minute before midnight, Leon knocked on Michelle's door.

She stood up, switched the light open, and turned the knob of her door.

When it creaked open, it was exactly midnight.

"Happy birthday, Michelle," Leon greeted with a bright smile etched on his face. He stretched out and

handed her a square jewelry box. "Here's your birthday gift."

Michelle took the gift and smiled. "Thank you, Leon! Can I open it now?"

"Of course." Leon stroked her soft hair. "You just turned 22 today, but you're still young. Don't be such

in a hurry to date a boy, okay?"

"Don't worry, Leon. I'm not in a hurry." She had made up her mind to wait for Leon to find out his own

feelings.

Leon tilted his head in surprise. "Really? You're not in a hurry to date?"

"No, I'm not." Michelle opened the box and saw the bracelet. One look at it, and she already knew she

liked it. "This bracelet is so beautiful! There's even a small bell here. It's so cute!"

She looked at him and smiled from ear to ear.

"Do you like it?" Leon took the bracelet from the box and grabbed her wrist. "Come. Let me put it on

you."

"Thank you, Leon. You're so nice." Michelle had always been honest. Even a simple praise was

enough to make her euphoric, and she would express it.

That was why Leon liked her so much.

"I wanted to buy you a strawberry cake, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to sleep after eating

it. I'll make it up to you tomorrow," Leon said as she clasped the bracelet around her wrist.

"I don't need the strawberry cake. Just you being with me during my birthday is enough." Michelle

smiled sweetly. "It would be better if there really was a strawberry cake," she added.

"I know." Leon looked at the bracelet and admired how it complemented her wrist. "It's done.

Do you like it?" Michelle raised her wrist and shook it in front of him. "Are these real diamonds?"

"Don't worry, they're fake. It's not expensive," Leon lied. "It just cost me 888 dollars. I've just received

my salary, and I could afford to buy the bracelet for you."

"888?" she exclaimed. 'Why does everything that Leon buys always has the number eight on the price?

The perfume is worth 88, while this bracelet is 888.'

"Yes. Isn't it lucky? You told me before that eight is a lucky number," Leon said.

Michelle giggled. "Leon, do you also believe in that stuff?"

"No, but I believe in you." After a short pause, Leon asked, "What's your birthday wish?"

"I can't say it out loud. If I did, it might not come true." Michelle pouted her lips. Once in a while, she

would fumble the bracelet on her left wrist. She seldom wore jewelry, so she wasn't used to the feeling.

Leon flicked her forehead. "You won't realize your birthday wish if you don't say it out loud. Nini always

did during her birthday. Simple wishes will be granted immediately, while difficult ones will take some

time."

"Really?" Michelle's eyes lit up against the incandescent light. "Will it really come true if I say it out

loud?"

Leon nodded. "You can try."

Michelle rubbed her hands together and closed her eyes. "I wish that Mom and Dad would come back

home and celebrate my birthday with me."

Leon tussled her hair and said, "It'll come true."

"Thank you, Leon." Even though Michelle knew that it was very unlikely for her birthday wish to come

true, it still made her happy to say it out loud and hear Leon assure her that it would come true.

Since it was already way past midnight, the two greeted each other goodnight.

As soon as Leon's foot stepped into his room, he heard a voice crying behind her. What he heard made

his heart skip a beat.

"Leon! I love you!"
