Only you in my love novel Chapter 756

All of her life, Michelle had never thought that she would ever hear those words from Leon.

At that moment, she felt like she was merely dreaming. She thought that the words "I like you too" were just figments of her imagination. Each was like a pebble falling into a pond, making ripples in her heart.

As she realized that she wasn't in a dream, that everything was real, tears welled in her eyes. After years of seemingly unrequited love, she wept from relief, her tears rolling unbidden down her cheeks.

Meanwhile, Leon was worried that he had frightened her and caused her to cry. He reached out to wipe her tears, trying to comfort her.

"Why are you crying?" He moved back a little to give her some space to breathe.

"I don't know. My head hurts after all those drinks we ordered," Michelle answered softly. She pursed her lips tightly, trying to suppress her sobs.

'No wonder I smelled alcohol, ' Leon thought.

He then put one hand on her head and rubbed it lightly. "We should sleep now. Your headache will be gone in no time. You'll feel better."

"Sleep? No, no, no. It's too early for us to do that," she answered in a confused voice. Leaning back, she put her head against the glass window of the car.

Leon's hand was left hanging in the air as her head dodged away. Though he couldn't see her face inside the dim car, he noticed the nervousness in her voice.

Looking at her through the darkness, Leon couldn't help laughing. "What I mean is, I'm going to drive you home so that you can rest." To make fun of her even more, Leon paused for a second and added, "Of course, you can also go back with me if you want. I wish you would."

"No way!" Shrinking back into her seat like a deflated balloon, Michelle was both frightened and embarrassed. "No, we can't do that. We shouldn't."

'This is all going too fast between the two of us. I can't go on like this, '

she thought.

Even before she could fully process the fact that Leon liked her, he was already asking her to stay over at his house. It would be shameful for her to rush into things like that.

Besides, she didn't even know yet if he truly liked her. Or if he was just looking for a temporary distraction. Maybe he was just heartbroken, and like Colby, and needed someone to ease his pain for the moment. Even if it was the case, she was willing to do this.

At this moment, Michelle was happier than she had ever been. The joy that she felt now was unlike anything she had ever felt before.

She liked being with him.

Michelle's face was still flushed red from all the alcohol she consumed with her friends. She put her hands on her face and rubbed it with her palms, feeling the warmth of her cheeks. As her eyes shone in the darkness, she smiled softly to herself.

"Leon, I have a headache and want to go home to sleep," she lied. The darkness helping mask her deception. Letting out a sigh, she then closed her eyes and leaned on the window.

Leon raised his eyebrows slightly. "Alright, let's get you home then," he answered with a smile.

Between the two of them, it was a normal thing to say. But Michelle blushed.

Knowing that she might still be embarrassed by their talk earlier, Leon didn't turn the light on in the car.

He was in a good mood and kept smiling along the way. From time to time, he glanced at her. He saw that she had fallen asleep.

The soft leather seat and the warmth of the car heater made it very cozy inside. She fell asleep in the passenger seat in no time. With her facing away from him, Leon could only see the back of her head.

When they arrived at the gate of her community, Leon noticed that she was still sleeping soundly. He then parked the car in a quiet spot and left the engine on idle so the heater would keep her warm. Reaching behind him, he grabbed a pillow and a blanket. Very gently, he reclined her seat, slid the pillow under her head, and covered her with the blanket.

As if enjoying the added comfort, she snuggled the blanket while still asleep. Now she faced Leon slightly, and he could see part of her face.

A sliver of light from a streetlamp not too far away shone on Michelle's face. Leon saw that her cheeks were blushing. Perhaps it was the heater, or maybe the alcohol, he thought.

For two or three hours, Leon contentedly sat in silence as she slept. Three years ago, he could only see the lights of her community from afar. He couldn't even see Michelle's house.

Now he was sitting in the car, next to her. He didn't need to look at the lights of the community anymore.

Three years had passed, and Michelle still liked him.

He still liked her too, even though he had failed to find her during the past three years.

It was getting late. Leon knew that she might catch a cold if she stayed in the car all night like that. He bent over and shook her gently, trying to wake her. "Michelle, wake up. You're home now."

The pleasant, milky scent of her perfume filled his nose as he leaned closer to her. Leon swallowed at the sight of her red, tender lips. Overwhelmed by his senses, he even thought about waking her up with a kiss.

But he tried his best to hold back his passion and to be decent. He didn't want to frighten her with sudden advances.
