You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 691

Leon woke up the next day, feeling refreshed.

His internal body clock had woken him up at seven o'clock. Sleepy-eyed, he sat up on his bed and tried to recall his dreams the night before. But sure enough, he couldn't remember a thing.

It was probably because Michelle had slept beside him that he had dreamed of that gentle kiss.

Again, Leon blamed his long-term abstinence for that lustful feeling.

But there was one thing he couldn't deny anymore. He couldn't treat Michelle as his sister anymore.

He had to face up the fact that Michelle was a woman capable of bringing lust out of men. If he ever shared a bed with her again, he might no longer hold himself back from being intimate with her.

It was probably for the best that he kept some distance from her.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he stared at the luxurious breakfast laid out before him. It was then he realized that he had no appetite for it. Instead, he found himself craving for the cheap hand-made rice noodles and fresh soybean milk.

Ignoring the long distance, Leon decided to drive all the way to the humble restaurant that sold the noodles. It looked shabby compared to his hotel suite.

Likewise, it was so small that all the seats were already occupied.

When he got out of his car, he saw a dark green Ferrari parked by the roadside. Its color reminded him of the deep forest.

Leon liked this color, so he continued to stare at it for some time. Some passers-by also stopped to admire the car.

Upon seeing the license plate number, he realized that it looked familiar to him.

Before he could figure out who the owner was, a familiar figure caught his eyes.

It was James. He was dressed casually today and was patiently standing in line with the rest.

His tall figure and handsome profile stood out among the people in line. It was impossible for Leon to not notice him.

James Shi, a celebrity and the CEO of J Entertainment Company, was waiting in line for breakfast like any ordinary person. It was such a strange scene. Funny enough, nobody seemed to recognize him at all.

Leon debated with himself on whether he should greet James or not. But then, James turned around, and their eyes met.

As soon as they were facing each other, Leon discovered why nobody could recognize James. The other man hadn't shaved at all, and he wore a pair of glasses. He looked far different from his usual image on screen.

Leon was stunned for a moment, but then greeted the other man calmly. "Good morning, James."

James, on the other hand, didn't look calm at all. He was shocked to see the prince in such a place.

"Uncle Leon?" James was almost flabbergasted.

He was so shocked that he didn't even realize that it was finally his turn to order. The waiter had to ask him twice, but he didn't even respond. People behind him were starting to complain, so he walked away from the line.

James took Leon out of the restaurant and looked him up and down. The look of surprise never left his face. "Why are you here, Uncle Leon?"

"I should be asking you the same thing." Leon hadn't seen James for a long time, but the other man seemed a lot more settled than a year ago.

"I'm here to buy breakfast, of course." Then, understanding finally dawned on James. "Are you here to buy breakfast, too?"

"Yes." Leon nodded. "I like the rice noodles and soybean milk here. They are delicious."

"That's right. This restaurant chain is known across the country for selling delicious and cheap food. Emma likes their food, too. It's just so troublesome to wait in line. Unfortunately, everyone has to. Anyway, Grandpa mentioned that you are in Lexingport City. Where are you staying over?"

"In Nini's apartment."

"Oh, then why are you here for breakfast? Did someone bring you here? Or is the restaurant that famous?"

"My sister often brings me breakfast from this restaurant." As soon as Leon said those words, he noticed the puzzled expression on James' face. The other man was probably thinking that he was referring to Nina, so he clarified. "I mean Michelle."

"What?" James was even more confused when he heard this. He even raised his voice as he asked, "You treat her as your sister? She's my wife's cousin. I call you Uncle, and yet you call her your sister?"
