Only you in my love novel Chapter 824

Lydia recalled the first time Leon introduced himself to her, and he said he was Nina's brother. Then, he said he was Michelle's brother. Now, he was Michelle's boyfriend.

Lydia witnessed the change in their relationship. As she thought about this, a lump formed in her throat. Maybe she was happy for Michelle and Leon. Or maybe she was sad because of her relationship with Austin.

Not wanting to get in the way of their date, she quickly excused herself and ended the video call.

Leon was due to leave for C Island that following Monday, so Michelle was very reluctant to leave him. After dinner, he dropped her off at the gate of her community, but she was unwilling to get out of the car. Instead, she started chattering about some shoots at work, TV shows she had watched, and anything and everything under the sun.

Leon had heard all of these before. It was obvious she was only stalling.

However, she tirelessly chattered on. Leon's heart ached when he realized how desperately she wanted to prolong their time together.

It was getting late. If he didn't send her home now, she'd never leave him. "Michelle, it's too late to talk. Go home and get some rest."

Michelle fell silent.

Her eyebrows drooped slightly. "I see," she said sulkily.

Her slender fingers reached for her seat belt, but they just hovered there. She made no move to unfasten it. She just wanted to spend more time with Leon.

She looked so pitiful, Leon felt his heart shattering into a million pieces.

He also badly wanted for her to stay, but her mother seemed to not want him as her future son-in-law. If he gave Elaine any more reason to dislike him, his chances with Michelle would be almost non-existent.

He bent over and tenderly kissed the corner of Michelle's mouth. Pressing his forehead lightly against hers, he placed his hand on the back of her neck and squeezed it gently.

"Let's hang out tomorrow. Do you have any place in mind? We can't go too far for the time being, but we can in the future."

Michelle kept her head down. After a while, she slowly said, "Well, anywhere is fine as long as you are with me."

"Michelle, you are so sweet." Leon hugged her tightly. He felt grateful to have her and reluctant to leave her. "Now go home and get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Okay," Michelle said reluctantly. She raised her head slightly to look at his chin. After a moment of silence, she leaned over and rubbed her head against his shoulder, like a cat reluctant to leave its owner.

After hugging him for more than ten minutes, Michelle finally unfastened the seat belt and got out of the car. She looked back every few steps.

When she got past the gates, she had to turn a corner. When she disappeared from his sight, Leon let out a heavy sigh.

If she turned to look at him one more time, he would've lost it. He wanted to whisk her away to C Island with him and keep her by his side.

Although she was no longer in sight, Leon made no move to start the car. Instead, he waited there for a while, all the way until Michelle called him to tell him she was getting into bed.

That night, Michelle had a hard time falling asleep. Finally, at around three or four o'clock in the morning, she drifted off to sleep. It was almost noon of the next day when her eyes fluttered open.

The sun was shining outside, but she was still feeling chilly.

Michelle pulled on her rabbit-patterned pajamas and bounded out of the room with her hair hastily tied up in a messy bun. As she was heading downstairs, she heard the sound of children's laughter coming from the living area.

It seemed they had guests.

They sounded like lively guests, too.

When she reached the foot of the stairs, she saw Nina sitting on the couch while Van and Don were chasing after each other. As they ran about the house, they squealed and giggled, which frightened Elaine. "Slow down! You might fall!"

However, Nina just waved at her calmly. "They'll be fine, just let them run around. Even if they fall, they will pick themselves up."

As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of bleary-eyed Michelle by the stairs. "You're awake, Mimi!"
