You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 736

The sudden change of topic took Michelle by surprise, but she still answered obediently, "No."

Leon didn't look at her. The corners of his mouth curved up into a beautiful smile, and there was a hint of joy in his voice when he spoke.

"It seems that you haven't forgotten my words. Good girl. How should I reward you?"

Upon saying that, he took a big sip of the medicine in his cup.

Michelle thought that there was no way he could give her what she wanted, so she just shook her head. "You don't have to reward me. Just get well soon."

"You seem to care about me very much," Leon said with a faint smile. His eyes were fixed on Michelle's face.

There wasn't much change in that baby face of hers. It was hard to tell that she was twenty-four already. Nevertheless, she seemed much more mature compared to three years ago. Her clear, pure eyes now seemed to hold some secrets inside.

She was just like a well-protected child who gradually grew up and began to have more and more secrets of her own.

The fact that he hadn't been by her side to watch her growth for the past three years really was really upsetting.

Fortunately, despite being away, she still remembered what he'd told her and remained single.

After a brief moment of thinking, he said, "Do you really not want any reward? I was hoping I could matchmake you with someone."

Michelle's face turned pale in an instant. "No!"

She'd just come back, but Leon already wanted to matchmake her with someone else. Was he afraid that she'd cause trouble in his relationship with Valerie?

In fact, his worry was unnecessary. Although she liked him, she'd never thought of interfering in their lives.

But just because her feelings weren't reciprocated didn't mean she'd be willing to date someone else.

Flustered, Michelle stammered, "I-I'm still young. I don't want to be in a relationship yet.

And I…I won't bother you." The last part of her words was barely audible. It was almost as if she was mumbling to herself.

Leon didn't hear it clearly. He thought she was just mumbling something in embarrassment.

In any case, her resistance showed that the idea of matchmaking himself with her was doomed.

Sure enough, a direct approach wouldn't work.

"Alright, I understand." Leon gulped the rest of the medicine down and put the cup back on the table.

He then said slowly, "Michelle, I owe you an apology. I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark about my identity."

Michelle was never angry about that. It wasn't that big of a deal for her, and she thought he must have no other choice but to do so.

The rich pretending to be poor wouldn't bring her any harm. Anyway, the rich wouldn't try to swindle her out of her money. It would be a different case if he was poor and pretended to be rich. The poor must have some bad intentions if they pretended to be rich.

"It doesn't matter. I don't blame you." To prove that she was telling the truth, Michelle gave him a big, bright smile.

Her bright, beautiful smile instantly bedazzled him. 'She is so sweet!'

She was so good that he wanted to make her his right away.

Unfortunately, it wasn't yet the time.

Leon heaved a soft sigh.

He didn't know how long he'd have to wait, but he hoped it wouldn't be too long. Although he didn't want to hurt her or scare her away again, he didn't think he could hold on much longer.

There were only the two of them in the quiet room, so Michelle could hear his sigh.

She thought he didn't believe her, so she repeated earnestly, "I'm telling the truth, Leon. I've neither been angry at you nor blamed you for it. I know you must have your own reasons."

"I know." Michelle looked so eager to show her sincerity that Leon couldn't help but chuckle. "Silly girl."

Michelle pursed her lips.

In fact, she also felt that she was silly. When her cousin had a problem with Harrison, she told her that there were many good men in the world.

Now that she experienced it herself, she finally realized how useless her advice was. People couldn't control their hearts. There were indeed many good men in this world, but among them, she only liked Leon.

"Since you've taken the medicine, please have a good rest. I'll see you later."

Michelle briskly turned around and left.

Leon only closed his eyes when the door was closed and he could no longer see her.

Early in the next morning, people from the Feng family came.

Helen personally went out to welcome them in person, though she was a little taken aback when she saw Valerie get out of the car.

"Miss Feng, why are you here in person?"
