You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 700

Debra observed the interaction between Michelle and Leon. Even though she didn't want to disappoint Michelle, she didn't want her to get lost in her own imagination. All the while, Leon's eyes were too calm, which made Debra suspicious.

Even after hearing everything Michelle had done for him, and saying that he would support Michelle forever, his demeanor remained calm, as though everything was according to his plan.

"Leon, you're going to support Michelle forever because you treat her as your sister, right? Is it because of Nina?"

'Nina passed away and Leon obviously misses her. It would make a lot of sense if he projected his sisterly feelings toward her best friend, ' she thought.

It wasn't out of the ordinary for an elder brother to support his younger sister forever. Debra's brother often told her that she could marry if she wanted to get married in the future. If not, she always had the option to stay at home. It was very likely that Leon was thinking the same way.

If Michelle hadn't fallen in love with him, she would've been really lucky that Leon promised to support her forever. However, things had reached a point where it became unfair to Michelle.

Michelle liked Leon. She didn't want him to see her as his sister.

Both girls waited for Leon's answer.

"Maybe." He shrugged his shoulder and poured filled Michelle's glass with orange juice. "Are you hungry? It's time for lunch."

They all stopped talking and picked up their chopsticks. The last dish that arrived was the fried snails the Debra ordered.

A savory spicy smell began to diffuse in the air. The dish looked so mouth-watering that it made everyone smack their lips in anticipation.

"When I saw Lydia post the fried snails made by her father in her WeChat Moments last time, it made me crave so much. I didn't expect this dish to be served in this restaurant. I'm not even sure if this is an authentic cuisine. Anyway, I'm so hungry I'll start eating." Debra licked her lips and grabbed a spoonful of the snails into the bowl. "They're so small! How should I eat them?"

The aroma of the food also made Michelle's stomach grumble. "I want to eat them too. Here, use a toothpick."

"A toothpick?" Debra took the toothpick from Michelle's hand. Then, she wore plastic gloves, held a snail, and took the meat out.

"Yummy! Go try them, Michelle! But it's a little spicy. I want some water." Debra's face was turning red as she fanned her mouth using her hand.

After pouring Debra a glass of water, Michelle began to eat. When the fried snail landed on her tongue, it was so spicy she felt as though the inside of her mouth was on fire. However, she liked her food spicy and continued to eat.

Whenever the spice was too much for her to handle, she would drink some orange juice. After a while, the juice in her glass became water. And before long, the water became milk.

Michelle was so busy eating that she didn't find out why her orange juice turned into water, then into milk.

She didn't add either orange juice or water to her glass. Whenever she reached out for it, it was already half full, as though the glass replenished itself.

Debra was also too busy savoring the spicy snails that she didn't notice Leon wasn't eating as much. Instead, he was busy refilling Michelle's drinks.

"It's milk," Michelle suddenly exclaimed. It wasn't until now that she found out.

"Leon poured it for you. Leon didn't pour it for me. You're so special to him. It's as if he's taking care of his girlfriend," Debra joked as she smiled impishly.

Leon brushed off Debra's teasing words and pretended that he didn't hear them. He didn't pour a glass of milk for her.

Instead, he sat there quietly.

On the other hand, Michelle was taken aback by what Debra had said. She was so distracted that she accidentally stabbed her index finger while trying to poke the snail she was holding.

"Ouch! My finger! It hurts!"

When she pulled out the toothpick, her finger started to bleed.

Tears started welling up in Michelle's eyes.

"Oh my God! How did you hurt your finger? Don't worry. I'll find you a Band-Aid." Debra removed her plastic gloves and stood up.

"Okay." Michelle tried to hold back her tears and suck the blood from her finger. But since she was just eating spicy food, the wound would sting if she did so.

All of a sudden, a huge shadow cast in front of her. She looked up and saw Leon reaching out to grab her wrist.

He held Michelle's hand and placed her index finger into his mouth.
