You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 742

When Michelle raised her head, a handsome face came into her view. He wore a gentle smile that swept away the disappointment on her face like a warm breeze.

"Leon," Michelle called, her lips curving upwards.

When the school bell rang, the children rushed out of their classroom and headed outside. From afar, Michelle could hear Kian shouting, "Boss! Your uncle and aunt are here."

"Aunt Michelle and Uncle Leon aren't married yet. They're just in love," Don replied.

"When will they get married?" Eileen asked in a soft and sweet voice. She was holding her schoolbag with her two little hands.

"I don't know. I'll ask." Don started to skip happily towards Leon and Michelle.

"Kian, Eileen, we're leaving now. Bye!" Van ran after his young brother. "Don, are you really going to ask Uncle Leon?"

"Yes," Don answered. "You told me that if we didn't understand, we could always ask. Don't you want to have an aunt?" He placed his arm around his brother's shoulder and started walking in a cool and arrogant manner.

"The book says that we should let nature take its course." Van always acted more mature than children of his age.

In contrast to Van, Don didn't read much. He scratched his head and asked, "What does that mean?"

"Nothing." Van chuckled. "I want an aunt too."

"Okay, I'll ask him then." Don let go of his brother's shoulder and ran to his uncle. "Uncle Leon, when will you and Aunt Michelle get married?"

As soon as she heard those words, Michelle's eyes widened. She had no idea why these children were asking such a question. When she looked at Leon, he was just as shocked as she was, if not more.

Yesterday, they asked him where their aunt was. Now, they were asking him when they would get married.

Although Leon had always thought of marrying Michelle in the near future, he didn't want everything to happen in just one night. He wanted to woo her naturally until they reached that point.

'But I guess it's okay to start thinking of it as early as now, ' he thought as a small grin started to form on his face.

"Leon, what are you smiling about?" When Michelle looked at him, his grin grew even wider. She was dumbfounded. 'What is he thinking?'

"So Michelle, when will we get married?"

The question made her heart suddenly jump, almost out of her throat. "Leon, what are you talking about?

Don't talk like that. Otherwise, people will think of it the wrong way." She could feel her knees go soft and tremble as she took two steps back.

An awkward silence hung between the both of them.

Don looked at Leon, then at Michelle. "Why are they not speaking? Did I do something wrong?" he asked his brother.

Realizing what had just happened, Van let out a disappointed sigh. "Uncle Leon and Aunt Michelle aren't in love," he whispered in Don's ear.

"What? So I won't have an aunt?" Don pouted his lips and started to sulk.

Michelle heard someone sigh. At first, she thought it was Leon. However, it could also be someone else since there were many people around them.

Then she heard Leon say, "Well, I was just kidding."

"Oh." She thought as much. "Leon, don't make such a joke again."

He pretended not to hear her. "What did you say again, Michelle?"

"Nothing!" she answered abruptly. She thought if she denied it as soon as she could, then nothing would happen. "Nothing. I didn't say anything."

Michelle lied and hid her eyes away from Leon's gaze.

"Okay." Leon nodded.

Although she wasn't able to clearly hear what he had just said, she heard the inflection in his voice, which gave her the impression that he was in a good mood.

'I must've misheard the sigh, ' she thought. 'Look at that smile. He's so happy! It couldn't have possibly come from him.'

"Let's go home. Van, hold your brother's hand." Leon grabbed Van's hand and stood next to Michelle. "Let's go. And Michelle, you have to sit in the front passenger seat today, too."

Her eyes widened, and her jaw slightly dropped. "What? Okay," she said hesitantly.
