You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 677 So Greedy

Leon noticed the Michelle was still smiling. "What are you thinking about? You look so happy."

"I'm thinking about you." For a moment, Michelle's face turned red. When she realized what she had said, she covered her mouth and averted her eyes away from him.

Leon raised his eyebrows as he grew more curious. "What about me are you thinking?"

Michelle shook her head in denial. But this only caused Leon to probe further. "Since you're thinking about something related to me, why am I not allowed to know what it is?"

"It's a secret," Michelle said.

Leon didn't know how to react.

Since she didn't want to tell him, he stopped asking. Nevertheless, he still wanted to know what she was thinking.

"You really won't tell me?" Leon asked again.

"Hmm...I can't tell you." Michelle walked back to her seat. As much as possible, she avoided looking into Leon's eyes. She lowered her head to drink soup and tried distracting herself from thinking about him.

And yet, Leon kept staring at her. "Why can't you tell me?"

Under Leon's gaze, Michelle felt uncomfortable. "Leon, it's a secret. Girls don't want others knowing their secrets, okay?"

"Don't you trust me?" Leon coaxed her softly.

Michelle shook her head. "It's not that I don't trust you. But I can't tell you, Leon."

Michelle was persistent in keeping her mouth shut, so in the end, Leon had no choice but to give up. "Okay, I'll stop asking. Let's eat."

He felt disappointed. They haven't talked to each other for more than a month, and now, she was hiding things from him.

'It shouldn't be like this. Why can't she tell me everything just like before?

Has she not yet forgiven me for what happened that night?'

"Michelle, I have something to tell you." Leon put down his chopsticks. He knew he wouldn't be able to enjoy his meal if he didn't figure it out.

Michelle raised her head and looked at him with a pair of confused eyes.

"I'm sorry for leaving without telling you," Leon said with a soft, sincere tone. "I was such in a hurry to find someone that I didn't have the time to tell you. It's my fault, sorry. Please forgive me, okay? The next time something like this happens again, I promise to tell you."

Michelle was dumbstruck. Never in her life did she imagine that Leon would apologize sincerely to her like this. Thinking about it made her blush.

She was never angry at him, just worried. She was scared that he left without telling her.

Before she knew that she liked Leon, she thought she was just flustered the same way she was back when Nina also left without telling her. Now, she knew she was afraid that she might not be able to see the person she loved ever again.

She was okay if Leon never found out about her feelings or if they didn't end up together. But the thought of never seeing Leon again drover her mad. She had to know that he was safe.

It wasn't accurate to say that it was only recently that she fell in love with Leon. The very first time she laid her eyes on him, she was already in love. Just like how Debra fell in love with Wynn immediately because of his good looks.

Over the years, she never had Leon's contact information, but she kept a photo of him and set it as her mobile wallpaper. Whenever she opened her phone, she would see his smile and feel happy.

When she hadn't understood yet what love meant, she was content just looking at his photo. When she matured and understood, she knew she wanted to be by his side.

She wanted more of Leon every day.

'How greedy I am!' she thought.

When she snapped out of her daydream, she looked up at Leon as if nothing had happened and smiled. "Leon, remember what you said today. If there's an emergency in the future and you have to leave, you must tell me, okay? Don't make me worried about you. If you promise that, I will forgive you."

"Okay. I promise," Leon said.

"Then I forgive you."

When everything was settled, they continued enjoying their meal.

It was rare for Michelle to have two days off. Originally, Leon planned to stay with her. However, what happened in the subway made him unavailable the entire afternoon.

Michelle was a sweet friend. After saying goodbye to Leon, she went to Lydia. They hadn't seen each other in a long time, so when Michelle visited, Lydia decided to stop studying and hang out with Michelle.

Lydia must study in the evening, so they were only able to go out during the afternoon.

The two happened to run into Wynn in front of the Seafood Restaurant.

Michelle's face lit up. She waved her hand and called out, "Wynn! You're back!"

Wynn snorted and ignored her.

Thanks to John, who had won the hearts of his parents-in-law, they were able to reopen the Seafood Restaurant. James gave Michelle a special membership card, which allowed her to order anything at his expense.

Michelle invited Lydia to taste the best seafood meal in Lexingport City.

She was confused why Wynn ignored her.

She grabbed Lydia's hand and ran towards him. "Wynn, it's me. Don't you recognize me?"

Wynn snorted again.

"Don't pretend that you don't know me! I sent you a picture this afternoon, but you haven't replied to me yet." Michelle pouted.

When she mentioned the photo, Wynn grew angrier.

He stopped and looked at Michelle.

He was confused why she was scowling at him.

'I'm the one who should be angry!'

"Why should I reply to your message? I bought you a delicious meal, and yet you sent a photo to mock me," Wynn snapped.

"What? I just sent the photo to thank you." Michelle tried her best to explain it, but Wynn still seemed mad.

"I was on the high-speed train, eating a lunch that's worth thirty dollars."

Lydia, who was standing next to them, burst into laughter. But when Wynn shot a deadly look at her, she stopped and pretended that she hadn't heard anything.

"That photo must've made you really miserable. I shouldn't have sent it to you," Michelle said apologetically.

Lydia turned around since she could no longer hold her laughter.

A grim expression rose on Wynn's face.

"Michelle, from now on, I'm no longer your master!" Wynn walked past Michelle. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Wynn, hold on!" The three entered the elevator together. "Wynn, I'm sorry. I'll treat you to a big meal, okay?"

"I don't care." Wynn crossed his arms and looked away from her.

"C'mon, Wynn. Let me treat you. I know what I did this afternoon was wrong, so please let me make it up to you. You're still my dear master."

"Stop begging. It's not going to work." Wynn tried his best to contain his anger. Apologizing wouldn't change anything. No one knew how he felt back then.

When he was on the high-speed train, he bought the most luxurious lunch available. Looking at what other people were eating and how it was nothing compared to what he had ordered made him feel superior.

However, when he opened his phone and saw what Michelle sent him, his heart sank.

His meal was nothing compared to hers.
