You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 684

Leon pushed her away slightly and, in a husky voice, said, "Well, don't jump. You're going to break the bed."

"Okay." Michelle was so happy that she didn't notice how close they were. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been brave enough to jump into the arms of the person she liked.

Her thoughts were too preoccupied with what Leon had just said. She giggled as she stood on the bed and kissed the photo of Nina and her.

"That's great. Both Nini and Uncle John are fine. They have two babies. Their babies must be so cute! Hey, Leon, are they boys or girls?" Michelle stood in front of Leon and

they stared deeply at each other's eyes.

For a while, the world stopped between them. Leon could do nothing but get lost in the depth of her gaze.

When he snapped back to reality, he averted his eyes away from her. "They're baby boys."

"Wow. I'm so glad everything turned out fine.

I can't believe that Nini has two cute baby boys.

I bet they're as beautiful and smart as her." Just thinking about Nina and her two boys made Michelle very excited to see them. "When will Nini and Uncle John come back? I miss them so much."

"Soon." Leon turned around and left.

Before he could cross the threshold of the door, Michelle grabbed his sleeve to stop him. "Leon, where are you going?"

"I'm going to take a shower." Just like that, Leon walked off and disappeared before her eyes.

"Okay." Then, Michelle narrowed her eyes and thought of something. "Leon, didn't you just take a shower earlier? Why are you going to the bathroom again?"

She got no response. Only silence and the sound of the door closing shut.

Michelle grabbed her phone and wanted to tell the news to James and others, but then she remembered her promise with Leon not to tell anyone. So to resist the urge, she closed her WeChat app and threw her phone back to the bed.

If they knew the good news, Michelle was sure they'd be jumping out of joy too.

Leon took so long in the shower that when he came back, the air conditioner in his bedroom had already been repaired. However, the one in the living room hadn't been fixed yet since they didn't bring refrigerant. They said they would back tomorrow.

When Michelle sent them out, Leon had just finished showering. Even without the air conditioner in the living room, he still felt cool and fresh.

"Has the air conditioner in my bedroom been repaired?"

"Yes. But the one in the living room has to wait until tomorrow."

"Okay." Leon couldn't look straight into Michelle's eyes. He felt that she wasn't just a sister to him and couldn't treat her as such.

After all, they were neither related by blood nor were they distant relatives.

At the end of the day, Michelle was still a woman. He had to keep his distance and be careful around her. Otherwise, he might not be able to resist the urge to make love with her.

Maybe it was because he hadn't slept with someone for such a long time.

"It's late. Go to bed early." Leon rushed into his bedroom without saying good night.

"Good night, Leon." Michelle waved her hand with a smile and walked into her room briskly.

Before she closed the door, she heard a loud noise coming from the next room, as if something was broken.

Michelle immediately turned around and pushed the door to Leon's room open.

The bedside lamp was in pieces. There were also bits and pieces of the air conditioner's remote control scattered on the floor. She noticed that the lid on its back was open, and the battery was nowhere to be seen.

On the edge of the bed, Leon sat while holding a stack of photos and a folder. His was stricken with fear.

"What's wrong with you, Leon?" Michelle walked towards him.

"I...uh..." With his mind still dazed, Leon stuffed the photos back into the folder and placed it into the drawer.

"It's nothing." Leon gasped and looked up at Michelle. He tried his best to fake a smile. "Michelle, why are you here?"

"Leon, are you sure you're okay?" Michelle pointed at the debris scattered across the floor and looked back at Leon with worried eyes.

"Oh, I bumped into the bedside lamp by accident." Leon seemed to be calm, but the pictures that he had just taken out from the folder kept flashing in his mind.

It had been a while since he stayed in this room. All this time, he never bothered to touch anything. However, today, he was caught by a whim and wanted to find if there was anything in this room related to Nina. When he opened the drawer, he saw a folder.

Out of curiosity, he opened it. But what he saw shook him to the core. They were photos of people getting murdered and dismembered.

Usually, he wouldn't be afraid of such grisly images, but these took him by surprise.
