Only you in my love novel Chapter 772

Michelle chewed on her lower lip. After a moment of silence, she admitted, "I wanted to do something nice for you but I wasn't sure how. You have everything that a man could possibly need, and you can afford to buy whatever you want."

"That's true. I don't need or want anything in particular right now." All he needed was the young woman in his arms, and although she had been missing for three years, in the end, she was his.

As Leon spoke, his breath warmed Michelle's ear, making her even more conscious of his proximity.

"I certainly don't lack servants who can cook for me. So why do you still bring me breakfast? You could sleep in a little longer."

"I know you can just order your servants to make breakfast, but this is the only way I can be of some use to you," Michelle explained. "When I was still a student, I noticed that other girls courted guys by bringing them breakfast every day."

Leon chuckled, his laughter fanning over her ear like a feather.

"So you're courting me?"

"Yeah." Michelle nodded shyly. 'Would he think of me as childish? I saw girls woo boys this way, but it was only in school. Perhaps adults don't do this kind of thing.'

"There's no need for you to do that because we're already a couple." Leon cupped her chin, tipping her head up. He ran his thumb over her bottom lip and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go shave first."

He let go of her and walked away.

When the body keeping her back warm disappeared, Michelle couldn't help but want more of that warmth. She impulsively took a step in Leon's direction and asked, "Can I help?"

He stopped and looked back at her. She looked so hopeful that he found himself unable to refuse.

"All right. Come here." With a gentle smile, Leon gestured for her to approach.

He held out one hand, like a parent holding out a hand for their child to hold. Michelle walked briskly to his side and interlaced her fingers with his.

Their palms touched.

Michelle smiled sweetly. "Your hands are so warm, Leon."

He smiled and squeezed her fingers. "I'm always warm. If you ever feel cold, you can come to me."

"Okay!"

"Good girl."

Hand in hand, they walked to the bathroom. Leon let her go to pat his face with a hot towel. "Do you know how to shave?" he inquired.

In her desire to follow him wherever he went, Michelle had forgotten that she had no experience shaving a man. She went silent in embarrassment.

'I guess I can't do anything to help.'

Her shoulders drooped in disappointment.

Leon was not surprised at all that she didn't know how to shave a man. But he didn't want to see her look so dejected, so he smiled and handed her a can.

"This is shaving cream. Press the nozzle until foam comes out and then rub it all over my beard. I'll do the actual shaving myself."

Michelle immediately cheered up. "Okay!"

She accepted the can and squeezed out a dollop onto her palm. Because Leon was too tall, she had to stand on tiptoe for her hand to reach his face.

But as soon as she stood on tiptoe, she found herself being lifted.

Placing his hands under her armpits, Leon lifted her up until she was seated on the washbasin.

Startled by the sudden coldness beneath her thighs, Michelle jolted and nearly tipped over the edge.

When she regained her balance, the first thing she saw was Leon's handsome face. He had placed both hands on either side of her hips, effectively caging her within his arms. He bent over to bring his face closer to hers.

"You can apply shaving cream now," he told her.

At that moment, they were practically of the same height. There was no need to strain herself while trying to reach for him.

Focusing on the task at hand, Michelle spread foam over the lower half of Leon's face. As her fingers brushed over his day-old stubble, she became all too aware of his body heat.

Neither of them said a word.

The more attentive Michelle was, the wider Leon's smile grew.

He wanted to say something, but Michelle had finished applying the shaving cream. Lifting her gaze to meet his, she asked, "Is this okay?"

"Yes." Leon peered over shoulder and into the mirror behind her. Their position looked pretty cozy. He felt like it would be a waste if they didn't do anything intimate.

But he had to shave first.
