You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 660

Sensing that something was wrong, Aron pushed Michelle. "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Run!"

"What? Oh, right! Run!" Grabbing Leon's hand, Michelle turned and started running. "Let's go. The bad guys are coming after us!"

Leon picked up his pace, feeling gusts of wind blowing over his ears. The exit of the haunted house was not far from the road. Michelle quickly hailed a taxi and pushed Leon into it. "Hurry up and get in!"

The man, who was 1.85 meters tall, accidentally bumped his forehead as he bent to enter the vehicle. In his hurry, he didn't notice that he hurt himself. Since Michelle entered after him and her body was petite compared to Leon's, she didn't see him hit his head.

As soon as they were both safely inside the car, she slammed the door shut and urged the driver to start driving.

When Leon saw the exasperation on the faces of the security guards they'd left behind, he smirked.

The feeling of being able to run away after getting into trouble reminded him of when he was a teenager. His chest heaved as he caught his breath. It was as if someone had brought out the teenager in him.

He turned to look at Michelle who was sticking her head out the window. Her hairband was missing—it probably fell off at some point during the chase. The wind was making a mess of her inky black hair and a few strands stuck to her flushed cheeks.

The smile on Leon's face broadened.

"Leon, we managed to run away," Michelle said, looking at her companion with a pleased expression. Having said that, she turned to lean against the car window and enjoy the breeze. "The wind is so refreshing! Leon, look. The clouds look like they are on fire!"

Michelle yanked Leon's arm in her excitement, admiring the golden-red glow of the sun as it started to sink in the horizon. Her grin was infectious.

"I see it." Leon followed her gaze, watching how the sunset turned the clouds pink and red. "If you like what you see, you should take a photo using your phone."

"Oh, I will." Michelle took out her phone and unlocked it. Again, Leon saw a photo of himself holding a cone of strawberry ice cream.

On-screen, the sunset didn't look as beautiful compared to seeing it with their own eyes. Michelle didn't know much about composing pictures and struggled to capture the beauty of the scenery.

"Try to reduce the exposure," Leon suggested, reaching out to tap her screen. The reddish glow of the setting sun then became more prominent, closer to what they were seeing with their eyes.

Even though Leon wasn't sitting close to her, Michelle could smell the faint musk of his cologne. It was a scent that was new to her but she liked how it smelled.

The wind rushed past her ears, but Michelle couldn't hear it over the sound of her own heartbeat.

'Oh, no! I'm feeling nervous again!'

She froze up, pursing her lips tightly. Leon, thinking that the girl was still admiring by the view, pressed the shutter button for her with a slender finger.

As the phone was not on mute, the sound of the camera going "click" startled Michelle that she nearly dropped it.

"What's wrong?" Leon asked, noticing that she had gone quiet.

Michelle didn't dare to open her mouth. She held the phone tightly in her hand as if she was trying to restrain herself.

This made the man a little nervous. He turned her around gently to face him. "Why are you not saying anything? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Leon!" Now aware of the red swelling on Leon's forehead, Michelle could care less if her heart jumped out. "You're hurt! Where did you hit your forehead? Is it painful?"

She was overcome with anxiety.

Leon reached up to inspect his forehead. It stung a little when his fingers brushed against the bump but the pain was manageable.

"I must have bumped it somewhere along the way. Do we have Band-Aids at home? If we do, just put a Band-Aid on it," Leon said.

"Yes. We have many Band-Aids," Michelle answered "Is a Band-Aid enough? Shall we go to the hospital? It looks serious, Leon. Let's go to the hospital."

"I'm fine," Leon assured her with a smile. "My skin is like this. Even if it's just a pinch, the spot will turn red, but it will recover after a while. Nini's skin is like this as well."
