You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 692

"I'm on my way, Leon. Wait for me." Hearing the anxiety and concern in Michelle's voice over the phone brought a smile to Leon's face. Even if his lips only curled up slightly, his expression brightened considerably.

He hung up the call, feeling satisfied. When he turned around, he saw James looking at him in confusion. But Leon was too much in a good mood to feel embarrassed. He even found the other man's expression amusing.

"What's up?" Raising his eyebrows, Leon calmly patted James on the shoulder. "Do me a favor and don't tell Michelle who I really am."

This confused James even more. "You're Aunt Nina's brother. How could Mimi not know who you are? Doesn't she know that Aunt Nina is...?"

As he spoke, he came to a sudden realization. "Oh, no! Could it be?"

'Mimi doesn't know that Aunt Nina is the princess of C Island?'

Smirking, Leon asked, "What do you think?"

From Leon's expression alone, James confirmed that Michelle didn't know the whole truth.

"I thought they told her already," he muttered with a frown.

"Maybe the others also thought so." Leon wanted to thank them for not saying anything. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to coax Michelle into supporting him.

James didn't know what to say.

It seemed everyone thought that someone else had shared the truth with Michelle. Because of that, no one actually told her anything. The girl was still very much in the dark.

"And Mimi is not suspicious at all?" James couldn't imagine it. Michelle should have noticed something, but she hadn't. Just how obtuse was she?

"She doesn't doubt a thing."

Leon's reply made James sigh in exasperation. "Oh my God! Emma is so clever, so how is Michelle such a fool?"

"Who are you calling a fool?" Leon disagreed, thinking back on the times Michelle praised herself. "She's an intelligent young woman."

The corners of James' mouth twitched. "Uncle Leon, are you serious? You lied to her just now when you told her that you didn't have the money to buy soy milk. And she believed you, didn't she? Even now, she's rushing to come to your aid."

"I really can't afford it," Leon insisted with a shrug. His amber eyes gleamed in the sun and a faint smile lifted the corners of his lips. He looked too calm to be lying.

At twenty-six years of age, Leon was as cunning as a fox. And only Wynn knew about it.

With a smile that made him seem harmless, Leon was actually more difficult to read than people with poker faces.

James pondered for a minute and then asked, "Why don't you have any money? Don't lie to me."

"My parents tied up all my money as punishment for helping Nina run away from home, not taking her back when I found her, and covering up her marriage with John." Leon was not exaggerating.

His remaining wealth was currently being invested by Bryant. He didn't have much left, so it was a fact that he couldn't afford to buy soy milk. He wasn't in the habit of carrying cash and there shouldn't be any balance left in his mobile phone.

'No, there might be some left.'

Leon opened his WeChat and saw that he still had three hundred left out of the eight hundred that Michelle had given him. So he transferred all that money to Bryant without any hesitation.

Bryant, as the recipient of a sudden and unexplained money transfer, was undoubtedly confused by what was going on. "Huh? Why?"

He sent a message through the app to ask, but Leon deleted his message.

Acting as if nothing had happened, Leon showed his WeChat wallet to James and injected some bitterness in his tone as he said, "See? I'm really poor."

James felt very uncomfortable.
