Only you in my love novel Chapter 806

Michelle's cheeks flushed a bright red from the alcohol, and her eyes shone like clear water. If one looked closely enough, they would be able to see the mixed expressions of the people reflected in her eyes.

Truly, the expressions of the people sitting at the table were as varied as the food choices in a buffet.

The calmest ones were John and Nina, since they already knew about this. Henry was far from calm, but managed to keep himself together, albeit barely. Just now, when he watched as Michelle downed that bottle of wine, he sort of guessed, but he didn't know for sure until now. Out of habit, his hand shot up and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

On the contrary, Adrian was absolutely flabbergasted. "What? You two..."

It never would've crossed his mind that Michelle and Leon were together. How could he say it? They didn't look like a couple at all.

It was not that he felt that Michelle was not good enough for him, but rather, from an objective viewpoint, the two were not a good match.

Michelle was a girl in need of protection, while Leon needed a woman who would fight by his side.

Adrian's jaw practically hit the floor.

"What the hell..." In a complete daze, James ended up swearing in front of the children. When he snapped back to his senses, he immediately clamped one palm onto his mouth, and said to the two children, "You didn't learn that from me, okay?"

Then, he faced the adults again with a bewildered expression.

"Emma, did you hear that just now? Mimi said that Uncle Leon is her boyfriend."

Emma, who was always the wise and calm one, was suddenly quite dull. "What?"

She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

'Michelle is with Uncle Leon? It's like a dream, '

she thought.

James repeated himself. "Mimi said Uncle Leon is her boyfriend, and he didn't refute. But he didn't confirm, either."

Hearing this, Leon immediately chimed in. "She is my girlfriend. But we've only been together a short while, which is why we hadn't told you all yet."

A wide smile was plastered on his handsome face. He gently turned his head to look at the drunk girl, who was blinking her innocent big eyes, as if she had no clue what she had just done.

He squeezed her hand affectionately.

He had been wondering when she would make their relationship public. Just now, he had playfully asked her to introduce him as her boyfriend, but he wasn't joking.

He didn't know why, but he had felt a sense of dread that she would slip away from him, like she did three years earlier. That was why he was hoping she would announce their relationship, so that everyone would watch out for her.

The truth was, he hadn't felt secure in the relationship yet.

But now that their relationship was made public, both of them would feel more secure.

He had never felt more relieved in his life than in this moment.

He felt proud. With so many people watching, Michelle introduced him to everyone as her boyfriend.

His uncontrollable excitement burned like a flame, spreading all over his body.

Don turned around and looked at Van thoughtfully. "What does Aunt Michelle mean by saying that Uncle Leon is her boyfriend?"

"It means they're together now," Van explained seriously. "Just like Dad and Mom, they will always be together, and they will get married in the future and have children."

"Wow! She's our aunt now!" Don applauded happily.

They two children began to clap and chant happily. "We have an aunt! We have an aunt!"

The happiness of the children was so simple, so innocent. It was a different story for the adults, however.

"Aunt? Are we supposed to address her as...?" James' voice trailed off. Suddenly, he recalled how three years ago, Leon declared he would raise Michelle's seniority in the family.

He looked at Leon in disbelief. "Uncle Leon, you said a couple of years ago that you would raise Michelle's seniority, not by taking her as your sister..."

His voice trailed off once more. He found himself unable to continue.

And he still couldn't accept it. If Michelle married Leon in the future, James would have to call her Aunt Michelle, like Van and Don did.

A cousin turned into an aunt...

He shuddered at the thought.

Leon continued, "I wanted her to be my girlfriend, not my sister. I already have a sister, and I don't need another one."

Although he kept his voice down, the woman in his arms stirred a little.

Her eyes opened sleepily just as a snowflake landed on her face, melting slowly and trickling down her cheek.

"Leon..." Michelle's drunken eyes tried to focus on his face, but then she shifted her gaze to the sky above him. The snow illuminated the night sky. She grinned suddenly. "Leon, look! It's snowing!

It's really snowing, Leon!" She was so excited that her two legs started to wiggle midair.

Leon steadied his grip on her body and said, "Yes, yes, it's snowing. Now go back to sleep."

"Okay." It seemed Michelle was even more obedient when she was drunk. She settled down and nestled herself against his chest once more.

After a while, she woke up again.

She found herself being tucked into bed by Leon, which confused her. Weren't they at the dinner party just now? She looked at him questioningly.

"Don't look at me like that," Leon said in a hoarse voice.

She didn't seem to hear him. In her eyes, the room was spinning, and she couldn't help but feel weak and dizzy.

Her head was heavy, too. She wanted to lift it, but she barely got her head off the pillow. So she reached up and wrapped her arms around Leon's neck.

"Leon, sleep."

With her petite hands pressing against the back of Leon's neck, he shuddered at her touch and his body tensed up.

"Mimi, don't be naughty. Go to sleep."

Leon painstakingly pried her hands off him and tucked her in once more.

Michelle moved to the side of the bed and patted the empty spot next to her. "Leon, sleep," she said again.

Her eyes were bright and pitiful, reflecting the light of the moon streaming in through the windows.

How could any man resist such a lovely woman?

Snowflakes fell silently outside. Leon sat at the edge of the bed and asked seriously, "Mimi, do you want me to sleep with you?"
