Michelle put away her phone in a hurry. She wanted to read all of it, but she was afraid that Leon might see.
Leon, who was taking occasional glances at Michelle, didn't see anything on her phone. However, his gut told him that she was hiding something that was related to him.
Michelle opened the door and was greeted by pitch-black darkness. It had been a while since she went here so the place looked abandoned.
Since Michelle's parents had devoted themselves to their research, she had seldom stayed here. She had either lived at her dormitory or with her cousin.
After she met Leon, she had been living at Nina's apartment, and now she lived in her club. It had been more than half a year since she stepped foot in her home.
Michelle clicked the switch open and the dark living room came to life. The house was as warm as Michelle last remembered.
Michelle bent down and picked up a pair of men's slippers and handed them to Leon. "Here, you can wear my dad's slippers," she said as she changed her shoes and wore her pink slippers.
Michelle gently put the moon cakes on the table and said softly, "Don't worry. I'll eat you later. Leon, are you going to stay here tonight?"
Upon hearing the question, Leon stopped in his tracks.
"You don't want to live here, right?" Michelle followed up after a short pause.
Leon felt that Michelle wanted him to leave.
'I've just arrived here. I haven't even sat on the sofa to rest nor drink any water.
And yet she's driving me away!
Tsk!
How ungrateful of her!'
However, what Michelle was really thinking was that if he would stay overnight, then she would clean the guest room for him. Of course, she preferred if he didn't stay since the guest room was next to her bedroom.
Since she and Leon had slept in the same bed last time, she found herself unable to stay calm whenever he was around.
As long as she knew that Leon was there, she wouldn't be able to sleep. That moment when she kissed Leon in secret would always flash in her mind.
She remembered Leon telling her that she was too young to fall in love.
Since Leon didn't know what was running on her mind, it bugged him that she kept avoiding him today.
She didn't want him to stay, but he wanted to.
"I'll stay here tonight. Do you want me to be alone during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Leon said with a cool demeanor.
Meanwhile, Wynn, Bryant, and Valerie sat on the open-air balcony of their hotel suite. There were fruits and moon cakes on top of the table and a bouquet of flowers placed in a white porcelain vase.
Since they were staying on one of the top-most floors, they were able to enjoy the scenic night view that Lexingport City had to offer.
Once in a while, Valerie would look at the door. "Where is Mr. Lu? Why hasn't he come back yet? We agreed that we'd enjoy the moon together."
"He must be with Michelle now, enjoying the moon," Bryant said.
"It's none of your business anyway. He can go anywhere he wants. If he wants to watch the moon with Michelle, he's free to do so. And he may do something that makes the moon shy," Wynn said with no attempt to veil his contempt.
Bryant coughed and cleared his throat. "Wynn, don't tell a dirty joke in front of my cousin."
Wynn narrowed his eyes at him but said nothing.
Valerie gritted her teeth but maintained her smile. Malice was starting to build up in her eyes without anyone noticing.
