You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 728

When Michelle woke up, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. Lydia was there, washing her face and brushing her teeth.

There was a rumbling sound beside Michelle, which was what woke her up. She fumbled around her bed, trying to find the source of the sound. When her fingers reached the pillows, she found Lydia's phone vibrating.

Both she and Lydia had access to each other's phone, so Lydia knew that Michelle's wallpaper had always been Leon's photo.

When Michelle picked up Lydia's phone, she was able to unlock it easily. The phone came to life, and the bright light made her squint. With blurry eyes, she saw the chat group notifications popping out.

Michelle knew she wasn't holding her phone.

After a while, her eyes gradually adapted to the light. Before she was about to put the phone back, she had a glimpse of the word "Leon" by accident.

When someone was in love with another person, they would quickly grab anything related to them.

This was the case for Michelle. Hearing the word "Leon" had become a staple of her day that it became routine.

That was because she and her roommates would always talk about him.

Michelle rubbed the sleep off her eyes and sat up.

She had no intention of snooping around Lydia's phone. But since she saw something related to Leon, she couldn't help but want to know more.

Debra had set up a small group chat, including Lydia and Rainy. Michelle wasn't part of it.

The chat was currently active, with new messages popping out as Michelle read. She didn't understand the context of their messages, so she had to slide up from the very beginning.

The first message of the group chat was a photo sent by Debra.

"Why did you set up this group chat?" Rainy asked.

"Oh my God! I'm crazy! I saw something I shouldn't have seen. Just click the photo and you'll know what I'm talking about. Don't tell Michelle. I wanna talk here first before she finds out. I don't know whether to tell her or not," Debra replied.

Rainy recognized the man in the picture. "Is that Leon?"

"Yes, it is. I took the photo myself and saw it with my own eyes," Debra responded.

Michelle frowned as she read the messages. She then clicked on the picture that Debra was referring to.

It was a picture of a handsome man with a proven track record of making her heart skip a beat. Looking at his picture tightened her chest, which made it difficult for her to breathe.

But he wasn't alone. Beside him, there was a woman, and behind them were two hotel doormen and a revolving door.

In the picture, Leon was wearing a well-cut dark suit, and his hair was meticulously combed. His tall and slender figure accentuated the woman's petite and exquisite body.

She was wearing a cyan dress, and her hair fell smoothly down her shoulders like a waterfall.

They looked like the ideal couple.

'What a perfect match!' Michelle's heart ached.

She had seen Valerie on more than two occasions, so she was able to recognize her face in the picture. When Valerie was driving her home, she told Michelle the story about her and Leon.

Michelle wouldn't have mistaken her for someone else.

Something clogged her throat as she continued to stare at the photo for a long time.

She stared for so long without blinking that her eyes started to sting.

After she snapped out of her daze, she returned to the group chat and continued reading the rest of the conversation.

"Who is the woman next to Leon? Where did you take this photo? Why does it look like a hotel?" Rainy continuously asked.

"It's the LC Hotel!" Debra replied.

The name of the hotel sounded familiar to Michelle.

She remembered Valerie telling her that she lived in the LC Hotel. Valerie even invited her to go there if ever she needed any of her help.

'Is Leon with her in that hotel?

Why are they staying in the hotel?'

She scrolled down the chat group, hoping to find an answer when she stumbled on one of Debra's messages.

"Do you know what it means when a man and a woman appear in a hotel together? They're there to have sex.

I really didn't expect Leon already has someone he likes. If Michelle learns about this, she would cry her eyes out!"

"Is it possible it's all a misunderstanding? Maybe you're wrong," Rainy replied.

"If only that were the case, but no. It's the truth. When I went downstairs from the hotel, I almost bumped into Leon. At first, I wanted to say hello but thought against it. After all, we were in a hotel! What was he doing there?
