You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 693

In the morning, many people entered and left the restaurant. As soon as Michelle saw Leon, she called him out and trotted towards him. "Leon!"

Leon watched over as Michelle approached him.

"Why are you running? Is there a ghost chasing you?" Leon asked. Although his words sounded as though he was scolding her, his gentle and caring tone suggested otherwise. In fact, watching her skip towards him in such a carefree manner turned his frown upside down.

Michelle looked up at him, pressed her hands together, and pouted. "I'm afraid you'll be hungry."

A soft breeze blew some hair strands off her forehead. She remembered what Debra had said about women liking strong men and strong men liking beautiful women. 'I must pay more attention to how I look!'

She raised her hand and combed the stray strands using her fingers.

Meanwhile, Leon didn't know what was going on in her mind. 'Is the sun so bright that she had to cover her face?' he thought.

"The sun's too bright outside. Let's go in."

When Colby walked up to them, Leon pretended that he didn't see him and averted his eyes away from him.

Colby had a gut feeling that Leon didn't like him.

'Am I get eliminated by Michelle's brother before I even start wooing Michelle?' he wondered.

Colby masked his displeasure with a polite smile and extended his arm for a handshake. "Hello, Mr. He."

Michelle's eyes widened.

'Oh, crap! I forgot to tell Colby that Leon isn't my biological brother!'

Leon looked at the man before him and noticed that Colby was a little shorter compared to him. He flashed a polite, yet obviously fake smile.

"My last name is not He."

Normally, Leon would sound more polite. However, with Colby, his response had a subtle hint of contempt.

Even Michelle, who didn't have the strongest radar for these kinds of things, felt the tension between the two men.

After a few awkward seconds, Colby noticed that his friendly gesture wasn't being received with the same level of warmth. So he withdrew his hand and scratched his head.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were Mimi's biological brother. Nice to meet you! My name's Colby Ji. I'm Mimi's friend and schoolmate," Colby said with a cheeky smile forming on his lips.

'Mimi?

How close are they?

Is Michelle closer to him than me?'

Leon couldn't hide the displeasure on his face as the polite smile he had worn began to disappear, replaced with a sharp stare that could kill.

At that moment, Leon felt very territorial and saw Colby as a trespasser. His look was a warning sign for Colby to stay away. At the same time, it was also a silent expression saying Michelle was his.

At first, Colby thought Leon was being warm and receptive. However, the coldness lurking beneath his eyes suggested otherwise.

Leon's gaze was so penetrating that Colby couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The longer he was under Leon's stare, the heavier it felt that it made his knees buckle. Michelle had always told him stories about her brother. She mentioned him so much that he knew she was obsessed with him.

However, Colby didn't expect that Leon would also be obsessed with her.

Before the tension could reach a boiling point, Michelle interrupted and broke the silence.

"Can you be more enthusiastic with me? We grew up together! If you keep this up, who knows, we might stop being friends," Colby lashed out. He couldn't stand being intimidated by Leon earlier ago and needed to vent his frustration to someone.

Austin sensed that Colby was irritated. "Who pissed you off this time? You know what you should do? Go to that person who pissed you off and get even with them. I'm hanging up."

"Please don't!" Colby frowned exasperatedly. "I can't get even with him. Michelle's brother is terrifying! He almost broke my hand!"

"Michelle's brother? You mean Michelle's brother is terrifying?" Austin asked in disbelief.

"Actually, he is ferocious and cruel." Colby looked back at that moment and remembered Leon's smile. The friendlier he became, the more ferocious he grew. Just thinking about it almost made Colby fall.

"Ferocious? Cruel? We might be thinking of different people."

"How's that possible? His surname is Lu. I just know that he isn't Michelle's biological brother. He threatened me not to call her Mimi."

A cold snort crackled through the phone. "No wonder he's only cruel to you."

"What do you mean?" Colby asked in confusion.

"Stop trying to flirt with her." One beep and Austin was gone.

His parting words further befuddled Colby.

'I just called her Mimi. It's just a friendly nickname.

I wasn't flirting with her!'

With no other outlet to vent his anger, he screamed in frustration as he banged the steering wheel with his fists. The car honked twice.
