You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 724

When Debra called Wynn that afternoon, Leon was just beside him. By then, they had arrived at the Hot Spring Resort.

And although Debra tried asking in a roundabout way, Leon was cunning enough to catch on to what she was trying to say. Something might have happened to Michelle.

Leon guessed Lydia and Debra didn't know what exactly had happened, so they called Wynn to ask about the situation.

Leon had tried calling Michelle several times, but she never answered. He was getting frustrated as more time passed. Wynn had also mentioned that Leon had gone to K City without telling Michelle, so now he deserved this.

Upon hearing this, Valerie smiled. She had another piece of useful information.

All of a sudden, she found herself liking Wynn.

She ignored the way he was glaring at her when she suggested that she should go to Spring City with Leon to look for Michelle.

Bryant still had to work even though he was at the Hot Spring Resort for a vacation. As a result, Wynn had to stay and act as a temporary assistant.

In the end, Leon and Valerie took the long flight to Spring City.

There was a reason why Valerie was so enthusiastic even though she knew that all these efforts were just a waste of time.

From the start, she just wanted to keep Leon in the Hot Spring Resort to ruin Michelle's plan of celebrating his birthday with him.

But then, she found out that the Hot Spring Resort wasn't too far from Lexingport City. It would only take them two to three hours to arrive there. That meant they could go back any time they wanted.

But it was different with Spring City. It would take them a long time to find Michelle, and the flights going back weren't always available.

Unexpectedly, Leon had contacted Michelle's club. He found out that she wasn't in Spring City at all.

Valerie was afraid that her plan would fail.

And knowing that Michelle was in a bad mood, Leon would never give up until he finally figured out what was going on.

It was then that Michelle finally called. As long as Valerie made a sound over the phone, Michelle would hide herself from Leon.

Just as Valerie had expected, there was a storm brewing on Leon's face. "Who did you go out with?" he asked Michelle.

"I bumped into some high school classmates, so we went out together." The first half of her response was true, but the second half wasn't. During the competition, she did meet her high school classmates who also came to watch the competition.

Michelle knew that her lie wouldn't be exposed by differentiating the lie from the truth.

It seemed like Leon believed her. "Male classmates or female?"

"There are boys and girls." Michelle could no longer hide her guilt. As a result, her voice was low and soft as she answered him. "Leon, you should celebrate your birthday with your friends first. I'll just celebrate it with you the day after."

"Okay." For Leon, his birthday wasn't a big deal. It was more important for him to make sure that she was okay. So he wasn't angry or disappointed. And anyway, he already planned to celebrate his birthday with her on the day after. Nonetheless, he couldn't help but be worried about her, so he asked, "How are you getting along with your classmates?"

"It's pretty good actually." Michelle then glanced at Debra and started complaining, "Someone scolded me because I was being disobedient."

Debra simply rolled her eyes.

Lydia smiled. 'It's a good thing that she can still joke around. Sure enough, only Leon can make her happy.'

"Leon, will you scold me, too, if I don't listen to you?" Michelle asked nervously.

Leon could sense her nervousness so he smiled gently. The voice that came out from the other end of the phone was so warm that it spread all throughout her heart.

It was enough to dispel her nervousness. She pressed on, "So will you?"

"It depends." Leon remained calm and gentle as usual. "If you do something wrong to me, I might have to scold you."

Michelle pursed her lips, gathering all her courage to say, "Can I give you a different apology gift then?"

She didn't want to give him the necktie.

After all, someone else had already given him one.

Leon's face darkened, but he continued to ask patiently, "Wouldn't a tie be a good gift? Why do you suddenly want to change it?"

As if on cue, Valerie raised her eyes at him and smiled.

"Let's just change it, Leon," Michelle said stubbornly. "Choose a different gift. Anything will do."
