You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 615

The moment Michelle felt Leon's gaze, she quickly looked down, and turned away like a shy child.

She had always known that she would have to meet him eventually, but she was not expecting it to happen that soon. She felt nervous, not knowing what to do.

Although she had practiced every line that she wanted to tell him, her mind went completely blank the moment her eyes met his.

Michelle was afraid that Leon might ask her the reason she went abroad, and when he did, she would not be able to hide the truth from him.

'If I tell him that I love him, not as a sister, but the way Nina loves John, he will feel awkward.

Leon told me that he thinks of me as his sister.

I can't afford to lose him because of my feelings.'

Michelle seemed to be lost in thought and did not even look at Leon.

"I thought you'd become much bolder after studying abroad for so long, but you're just the same as you were three years ago. Come on. Put your hand down, I am not going to eat you," Leon said with a gentle smile as he tried to pull her hand away, with which she was covering her mouth.

The moment his hand touched hers, she felt as though she had touched a live wire and immediately stepped away from him.

Panicked, she glanced at him for a moment, before she put down her hand.

Michelle was sick. Her sickness was love.

It was the only sickness that had no cure.

If she hadn't been in love with Leon, she could have joked with him and let him hold her.

But now, she could not bring herself to be that way with him.

Michelle was bad at hiding her true feelings, so she knew that the moment she would look into his eyes, she would not be able to look away.

And if she held his hand, even just for a moment, she would never want to let him go.

She was desperate to feel the warmth of his fingertips, even just for a second.

Michelle released her tightly wrapped fingers, touching the back of her other hand.

Her love was like a jar of wine that was buried deep in the earth. The longer the jar stayed there, the stronger its aroma grew.

For the past three years, Michelle had failed to forget Leon, but she loved him more.

"Are there any thorns on my hand that will prick you?" Leon asked with a slight hint of pain in his eyes. He noticed that she did not seem comfortable to hold his hand.

Michelle shook her head and replied, "No."

"Then, why are you avoiding me? Why are you hanging your head down?"

Michelle pursed her lips into a thin line and remained silent.

Leon looked Michelle up and down. Even though three years had passed since they last met, she hadn't changed at all.

'No. She has changed.

She is alienating me, ' he thought.

"Why wouldn't you look at me?" he asked.

After thinking for a while, Michelle shook her head and replied, "I can't."

Leon continued to ask, "Why can't you?"

"I'm afraid." Leon was about to ask what was it that she feared. Was she afraid that he would ask her the reason she left without a word?

Michelle seemed to know what he was going to ask her, and said, "I am afraid that you will ask me the reason I went abroad. I am worried that you will ask me why I didn't tell you or Nini about it back then."
