Only you in my love novel Chapter 722

Valerie shook her head and smiled bitterly. "No, he didn't say anything. He just took me to Lexingport City and we're living together. I heard from my cousin that he had been looking for me all the time. He was worried that I might have a hard life. Although he has been good to me these days, he's never mentioned anything about getting back together. Actually, what happened to us in the past was only a misunderstanding, and we've already made it clear."

The owner listened intently, and after a while, she said, "Maybe he cares about his dignity and feels embarrassed to say that. All men are like that, you know. And based on what you said, I'm sure he likes you too."

"Really?" Valerie's face lit up. The joy she felt then came from her heart, which made it even more convincing.

"I think what you said makes sense. You have experience with this, right?" Michelle nodded and said sweetly, which made the owner burst into laughter.

"Well, should I send you the flowers tomorrow?" the owner asked Valerie.

"Actually, I'll take them now. We won't be celebrating his birthday here, but in the Hot Spring Resort in the neighboring city. We're leaving later," she answered with a smile.

"Wow, the Hot Spring Resort. If ever you want to buy flowers in the future, you can call us, and we'll have them delivered to you. You don't need to go here personally," the owner said as she picked up one of her business cards and handed it to Valerie.

Valerie took the business card and kept in mind what the owner had said. Judging by her actions, Valerie knew she was a business-minded woman.

Michelle tilted her head and asked, "What's the Hot Spring Resort like? Is it a fun place?"

"It's a place where you can't go inside even if you're rich," the owner replied. Then, she turned to Valerie. "What flowers do you want to buy? Once you've chosen, I'll move them out for you."

"Thank you. I may have to buy a lot of flowers, and the two of us might not be able to carry them all at once. I don't want to return just to pick up the remaining flowers." With a frown, Valerie turned to Michelle. "Can you help me move the flowers later? I can drive you home later once we're done."

"Okay," she agreed. It had always been difficult for Michelle to say no whenever other people asked her for favors.

"Thank you." Valerie was so happy that her smile almost reached her ears. Her plan to fool Michelle was working.

'To think this stupid person is my rival for Leon's heart. It's insulting!

Since she's this stupid, I won't be wasting too much time on her.

I could focus the rest of my energy on winning Leon over.'

Once Valerie picked the flowers, the three of them carried the bouquets and placed them into the trunk of the car.

Michelle opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat at the front.

"Where do you live? I'll drive you home first. Type your address here." Valerie motioned her fingers at the navigation search bar on her phone.

"Thank you so much.

By the way, where are you from?" Michelle asked while Valerie was driving.

Valerie was still thinking about how she could naturally bring the topic to Leon's family. If Michelle knew about his true identity, then she would realize the large gap between them and conclude that they weren't a good match for each other. Fate seemed to be on Valerie's side since Michelle herself brought up the subject.

"Do you know C Island?"

"Yes, I do!" Michelle's eyes lit up. She turned to her and started talking. "The people there are so rich! Their seafood is also very delicious! Are you from C Island?"

Valerie nodded. "Yes. My ex-boyfriend and I are both from C Island."

"Then why are you here? Are you travelling here?" Michelle tilted her head in curiosity.

"No. He came here to look for me. You see, we had a big fight, and as soon as we broke up, I left C Island." Valerie turned her head to look into Michelle, who was listening intently to what she was saying. "I'll tell you a secret, but you can't tell anyone else."

"Okay, I won't tell anyone." Michelle raised her hand and placed it over her mouth.

"He is the prince of the C Island." Valerie reverted her eyes to the road as she turned the steering wheel. She played it cool and tried her best not to seem as though she was showing off. Even then, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.

From Michelle's point of view, she could only see the side of Valerie's face but not her eyes.

If Michelle had seen Valerie's eyes, she might've been able to figure out what she was trying to do.

"Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret," Michelle said.
