Only you in my love novel Chapter 714

The bath tower covered Michelle's eyes. As a result, she couldn't see anything at all. She waited a long time until she could no longer hold herself back. "What's wrong, Leon?"

Her soft voice was enough to snap him out of his thoughts. His whole body suddenly froze. It was then he realized that there was only less than a centimeter space between their faces. If Michelle's question came a second later, he would have kissed her by then.

"It was nothing." Leon had finally recovered upon realizing what he was about to do. He quickly let go of the bath towel, letting it fall down to the floor behind Michelle.

Now that the thing that was blocking her eyesight was taken off, Michelle could finally see again. She was surprised to find a red-eared Leon. Since he was standing close to her, she could clearly see his red ears.

"Leon, your ears are so red." Michelle blinked rapidly, wondering at what could possibly make Leon look so flustered.

"Oh...I..." Leon's first instinct was to deny it, but they were too close to each other. He could still feel the heat coming out of his body in waves. His throat was a little dry and hoarse so he could only let out five words from his mouth. "I need to go out."

"What? Okay then." Michelle looked even more confused by his reaction. She watched him walk out of the door when she suddenly remembered that she had to go out to the yard to air dry her hair. She hurried after him.

As soon as she was downstairs, she found Leon standing in front of the water dispenser. He finished two glasses of cold water in a row.

'Is the water really that delicious?'

Michelle was confused. She walked over to him and poured herself a glass of her own. After drinking it, she realized that there was nothing really special about it. 'Why is Leon drinking so much then?'

Leon watched Michelle drink her own glass of cold water from the corner of his eye. Then, he looked down on his own empty glass. At that point, he couldn't remember how much he had already drunk.

Upon noticing the confusion in Michelle's eyes, Leon tried to come up with an excuse. "The water tastes good. It's a little sweet."

Michelle had always believed whatever Leon said. And since he told her that the water was sweet, she began to believe it as well. She took another half a glass and drank it, hoping it would taste sweet this time.

But she still couldn't taste anything sweet.

She frowned and asked, "Are you sure we are drinking water from the same dispenser? Or is there something wrong with my taste buds?"

Now that Leon had drunk a few glasses of cold water, he was able to calm down. Upon hearing Michelle's question, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"No." There was a hint of a smile in his voice. "You probably couldn't taste the water's sweetness because you've been eating too much sweet food."

Michelle tilted her head and asked, "Is that so?"

"Don't forget that you just ate your birthday cake last night. That one is sweet." Leon didn't want her to think too much about it, so he quickly changed the topic. "Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has already passed, are you going back to the club tomorrow? I think Austin will be too busy to go with you for midnight snacks. If you want some company, you can call me instead."

'How does he know about my midnight snacks with Austin?'

After she had turned her phone on, Austin had told her that he was working for a company near their club.

He had invited her out for midnight snacks.

But how did Leon know about this?

Of course, Leon knew more than that. He also knew that she also had another girl with her, who looked like a high school student, whenever she went out with Austin.

And since the two were never alone together, Leon never mention it before.

Looking at Michelle's confused expression, Leon realized that he had inadvertently spilled the beans. He quickly explained, "I tried going to you a few times, but I found out that you went out with your friends for late night snacks. So I didn't want to disturb you."

This time, he wasn't lying. At the time of his discovery, he was just a step behind Austin. And then it happened again and again.

Back then, he hadn't figured out his feelings for Michelle, so he hadn't told her before.

"Really? You came to me a few times?" Michelle's eyes lit up. "Don't ever think that you are bothering me. Feel free to come to me anytime. You can never disturb me no matter what I'm doing."

There was a certainty in her eyes as she said this. Leon found himself hesitating a bit before finally believing her. He smiled. "You better keep your words then and don't even think about breaking them."

"Never." Michelle raised her chin and held out her little finger, hooking it a bit. "Pinkie swear."

"Very well then. Pinkie swear." Naturally, Leon was willing to indulge her, hoping that she would remember her promise. He hooked his little finger to hers and said, "Seal it."

Then their thumbs met.

"Alright." Just as Leon was about to let go of her finger, Michelle continued to hold on to him and said, "Wait a minute! I actually learned something new, so we can do it like this."

Michelle spread out his palm and pressed it against hers. She brushed their palms together.

"So now, we have two copies of our promise. One for you and one for me."
