Michelle suddenly recalled how Colby drove one-handedly back when he went for a drive with Debra. He was constantly stepping on the accelerator as if he didn't care how much car oil could cost him. She then nodded her head and said, "Colby drives too fast. I don't think it's safe."
"So listen to me and don't get into a car with him again." Leon smiled brightly at that.
"Okay, Leon. I'll listen to you." Michelle nodded her head obediently. "Leon, how did you know that Colby hit someone else's car?"
"I saw it." He had watched everything unfold from his car behind the Bugatti. Charles' acting skills were actually great. He seemed much more domineering compared to Colby.
The Bugatti was really expensive. Colby was so stunned at that time and didn't know what to do. As a result, he was unable to go to Michelle's home and celebrate her birthday with her.
The roses inside his car had probably already withered by that point.
'He wanted to confess his love to her on her birthday? No way!' Leon snorted inwardly.
"What kind of car is a Bugatti? It's over ten million! It seems like it's much more expensive than James' car. Does that mean Colby has to pay the much as compensation?" Michelle asked, tilting her head.
"The damage wasn't at all that serious. Colby's family can afford to pay for the compensation. But the owner of the car didn't want money. That made it all the more difficult to settle everything,"
Leon said casually. But deep in his heart, he was overjoyed. He wouldn't let Colby off that easily.
Charles would make a fuss about it for at least a few more days. By that time, Colby's family would discover about the crash and would hopefully forbid their son from spending too much money on dating women.
"That's right." Michelle sighed.
"Cheer up. It's none of your business anyway. They can solve their problems themselves. Come, let's have breakfast." Leon poked Michelle's forehead lightly.
Michelle ate her breakfast just as he ordered her to do. After finishing her meal, she sighed again. "Leon, why do they have to drive such expensive cars? All cars are the same, aren't they? Oh, but then there are also many kinds of vehicles. There are taxis, buses, trucks..."
The expression on Leon's face froze.
"And sports cars! James likes sports cars. But his sports cars are different. There are also the business vehicles, off-road vehicles, and so on. Nini used to own an off-road vehicle, right? I don't know its brand, though. These are the only vehicles I know. The rest, I know nothing about," Michelle said. Using her fingers, she counted all the vehicles she knew. But at this point, she was starting to lose track of the number, so she put her hand away.
Leon seemed surprised for a moment. "In short, you really don't know much about cars, right?"
"Well, I'm not entirely clueless. I've just mentioned all the cars I know. But I don't know how a Bugatti looks like. After all, there are so many cars running on the road every day. I might have seen one before, but I would never know their brands." Michelle looked serious as she said this.
"Don't you know its logo?" Leon narrowed his eyes as he asked.
Michelle shook her head.
Leon was dumbfounded by her response.
He whispered to himself, "She really has no idea about cars. What was I afraid of before? I can just drive my car. She can't tell anyway."
"What are you talking about, Leon?" Michelle couldn't properly hear what he was muttering to himself, but she was able to catch a few words here and there.
"Oh, it's nothing." Raising his head, Leon smiled warmly at her. It turned out that all his worries were meaningless. It didn't matter if he was driving a good car or if he took a subway or a bus with her.
"Are you done with your breakfast? Then go take a bath and wash your hair."
"Yeah, I'm done eating. So I'll be taking a bath now. Please enjoy yourself."
Michelle then trotted upstairs to take a shower.
After thirty minutes, she came out wearing nothing but a bath towel with another towel wrapped around her head. She seemed to be in a good mood as she opened her wardrobe and picked a dress. She chose the same dress she wore back in the amusement park.
All this time, her phone was lying quietly on her bedside table. When she was about to retrieve it, she found a letter beside it. It was encased in a light pink envelope with rabbit patterns all over it.
Nonetheless, it was already yellowing in some spots, and the paper inside it seemed old.
These were the envelopes and writing papers that Michelle had bought back when she was still in her third year of high school. The head teacher back then asked the students to write a letter to their parents. It was the year before they took their college entrance exam, and their teacher hoped that these letters would help the parents understand their children's feelings.
Back then, the others bought ordinary envelopes and writing papers. But Michelle went all out for hers. She chose something that looked unique and beautiful.
