You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 836 I Just Want You To Be Happy

Apparently, it was a video chat.

"Leon?" Michelle called out, too dazed to believe her eyes.

"No, I am not," Leon snapped sardonically.

Michelle didn't know what had just happened. After all, she just woke up. "You are Leon!"

The response she got from Leon was a cold snort. Only then did Michelle finally realize that something was wrong. He had never treated her this way.

She suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

"Leon, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Leon raised his eyebrows slightly, but his anger was more than obvious, which made Michelle wince.

He was angry, and she was confused.

Michelle didn't know how she had offended him, so she batted her eyelashes at him innocently and asked, "What did I do to make you angry? Can you tell me first? I don't know what's going on."

"Michelle, didn't I tell you to stop all contact with Tim?"

Leon's voice was strained, which frightened Michelle. She shrank back and stuttered guiltily, "Y- Yes."

"Then why were you with him?" Leon raised his voice. He couldn't contain his anger now. "And you even went so far as to sleep in his bed! Can't you see that he's in love with you?"

Michelle's eyes went wide with shock.

She couldn't believe her ears.

'Tim likes me? I slept in his bed?'

She had no idea!

"Leon, I didn't!" Michelle felt wronged. Judging from Leon's attitude right now, there was a chance he was about to break up with her. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Her chest felt extremely heavy.

She quickly tried to explain. "Leon, you misunderstand. I was just so sleepy, and he offered me a ride home, but it seems I fell asleep in his car. Then..."

Tears filled her eyes and she knew that if she spoke another word, she would burst into uncontrollable tears.

Leon tried to stop her. "Don't you dare cry!"

But his heart immediately softened.

He couldn't take this anymore. If he didn't teach her how to behave, one day, he'd explode from anger. What if he died out of the blue? Would his girl throw herself into Tim's arms?

When this thought crossed his mind, his anger flared up again.

Although Leon was enraged, he willed himself to calm down. Still, he refused to smile on camera.

"Okay." Michelle nodded obediently and shut her mouth, pursing her lips in silence while waiting for the man to say something more.

She thought about how every night since Leon left, she tossed and turned sleeplessly. Whenever Leon hung up the phone, she looked at his photos wistfully, wishing he was next to her.

But it didn't take long before she had seen all of his photos. The past couple of nights had been tough.

How she wished she could see Leon in person, not just a cold reflection of him on her phone. It just couldn't compare to being together in the flesh.

At the very least, being on video call with him was much better than staring at his photos. Here, they could respond to each other in real time.

But she missed him so much.

Her muddled thoughts and surging emotions gathered to form tears, which rolled down her cheeks.

She just looked so pitiful.

Leon's heart ached and he felt pain spreading all over his body.

He watched the tears stream down her face in silence, panic and anxiety welling up inside him. That was the last straw.

He wanted to go to Lexingport City!

"Michelle! Please! Stop crying!"

Her crying broke his heart.

In the end, Leon decided he needed to be hard on her.

He looked away from the screen and said sourly, "Wipe away your tears. I told you not to cry, but you didn't listen to me."

Michelle silently raised her arm to wipe her tears. When she looked back at her phone, she put on a brave face and held her tears back.

"I wasn't crying, Leon. I just miss you so much."

However, her voice broke as she spoke.

She looked like a poor girl that no one wanted.

But Leon only sighed, which she mistook as a sigh of disappointment—a sign that he was going to dump her.

Tears welled up in her eyes once more, but she didn't dare to cry again. She raised her head and said quickly, "Look, Leon, I'm not crying. Just look at me."

She wanted him to look at her, but only her mouth and neck were shown on screen.

Leon felt sorry yet ridiculous at the same time. His fingers stroked the screen, as though he was stroking Michelle's fair neck. After a while, he withdrew his hand.

"Fine. Cry if you need too," Leon said with a helpless sigh. His cold facade fell and he looked at her tenderly. "I shouldn't have scolded you, I'm sorry."

Michelle's face came back into view on screen, astonishment written all over her face. "Leon..."

Who could stand such a scene?

Leon almost broke down on the spot at the sound of his name coming from her lips. "I'm just angry. You got in Tim's car without a care in the world. He whisked you away and made you sleep in his

bed.

Michelle, if I let another woman sit in the passenger seat of my car and made her sleep in my bed, wouldn't you be angry—"

"Don't you dare!" Michelle suddenly blurted, every cell in her body protesting at the mere idea. "Leon, you can't!"

Leon smiled. "Now do you know that it's not okay?"

Michelle nodded unhappily. "Leon, I didn't mean it. Won't you let me explain?"

Worried he didn't want to hear it, she started explaining without waiting for a response. However, she was still fuzzy on how she got to the North Yard.

Something she said caught Leon by surprise.

"Insomnia? How did you get insomnia?" It didn't make sense. Every time he called her, he stayed on the phone until she was sound asleep.

"Leon, can you stop frowning?" Michelle lowered her eyes and felt guilty. "Ever since we got together, you started frowning too often."

Leon was stunned for a moment, but then he turned his frown upside down. "Good, you noticed. It's because you always make me worry!"

"Leon..." Michelle looked up at him remorsefully. "I just want you to be happy."

"But I'm willing to be like that for you." Leon then asked half-jokingly, "Don't I look good when I frown?"

"It's not like that." Michelle shook her head firmly. "I don't like it when you frown. I like you no matter how you look."

"Well then, promise me two things,"

Leon said, smiling with satisfaction. "What?" Michelle was confused.

Did she say something wrong?

Shouldn't it be Leon promising her some things in exchange for her gracious words?

But she just nodded obediently. "What two things?"

"First, you are not allowed to ride in Tim's car from now on." Leon looked at her seriously. "Second, you can't go to places where Tim is. Got it?"

"Well, Leon, the second one is a little difficult." As soon as Michelle said this, she received another cold look from Leon. "It's not what you think. Tim is Caroline's model; it'll be impossible to avoid meeting him."

After thinking for a while, Leon thought that this condition was indeed a little unreasonable, so he changed it. "Alright, fine. Second, you can't be alone with Tim. Also, it should go without saying, you definitely can't go to his place."

"Leon, you've made three requests."

Leon stared at her.

"Do you agree?"

"Yes," Michelle nodded. "Leon, I'll try not to worry you anymore."

"No," Leon said immediately. "What makes you think I'll ever stop worrying about you? Do you want me to save my energy for another woman? Even if you do, I refuse.

Be good, or I will break your legs."
