Only you in my love novel Chapter 699

It was already noon when Leon got out of the taxi. He stood on the path made of small stones, which gleamed under the sunlight. On his left, there were rows of shops close to each other that sold different delicacies, while on his right, there were willows trees providing shade.

As he walked towards the restaurant, he could already smell the mouthwatering food. When Leon opened the door, a soft voice greeted him. "Welcome!"

She was welcomed by a young girl around fourteen or fifteen behind the cashier's desk. Beside her, there was an expressionless man. She looked timid, but tried to make herself look calm.

When Leon turned his head, he saw a glint of surprise on the expressionless man's face. Then, he heard the girl greet Leon again. "Nina!"

The mention of her name shocked Leon. He was about to ask if they knew his sister, but the expressionless man interrupted before he could.

"I'm sorry. She took you for your sister." Ford shot a meaningful look towards Evelyn. She lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Leon answered with a faint smile. "Leon, over here!" Debra called out.

As he walked over to where Michelle was sitting, he overheard Ford and Evelyn talking with each other.

"Ford, he looks a lot like Nina," Evelyn whispered.

"He's Nina's brother."

"Oh, that's why.

When will Nina come back? And what about Noah?" Evelyn asked again.

"They'll be back soon," Ford said and looked at Leon.

Since Leon appeared in Lexingport City, that meant John and Nina were about to come back.

The restaurant was located in a quiet place and only had a few customers. There was only one waiter who served Michelle and her friends.

"Leon, take a seat. I have a gift for you," Michelle said. She was so excited she couldn't wait for Leon to sit down.

Looking at the pink orchid made her so happy. What more if Leon saw it?

"Gift?" Leon asked as he sat down. "Is it the food on the table?"

He looked at the dishes before him, and indeed, they were mouth-watering. He couldn't wait to taste them.

"No." Michelle shook her head and smiled mysteriously. She turned around and took out a paper bag from the back of her chair. She placed it on the table and pushed it towards Leon. "Here, open it and see for yourself."

"It looks heavy. What is it? It seems mysterious." Leon touched the paper bag, and felt what was inside was a pot.

"Michelle, is this a pot of flowers?" Leon pulled the bag closer to him and peeked inside. There, he saw an orchid with pink buds that hadn't bloomed yet.

Despite that, it still looked very beautiful.

It was one of his favorite orchids!

'How does she know that I like orchids? And this is a lotus-petal-shaped orchid!' Even though this wasn't a top-grade orchid, it was still very expensive. It must've cost more than ten thousand dollars.

Leon felt conflicted and didn't know how to feel upon receiving this.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it, Leon?" The look on his face flustered Michelle.

"I like it. I like it very much." Leon flashed a big smile. He carefully picked up the bag with both hands and placed it under the table. "I really like it. Thank you, Michelle. This is the second best gift I've received this year."

"I'm glad you liked it, Leon." The sincerity in his eyes made Michelle grin from ear to ear.
