You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 792

'Three years ago?'

Michelle was stunned at the thought. A few teardrops perched on her eyelashes fell when she blinked.

Her eyes were red and puffy from crying.

"But three years ago, you already knew that I liked you. I already told you how I felt back then."

Michelle looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"I never knew that you liked me romantically. We've always treated each other as siblings. I thought that you just liked me in the same manner that you liked Nini. I never realized what you truly meant by it," Leon answered in a soft voice, scratching his head.

The two of them have always been very close to each other. Michelle never hesitated to let them know how much she valued Leon.

So when she started to realize that she liked him romantically, it was difficult to tell it apart.

"Oh," she said awkwardly. Remembering something, she raised her head all of a sudden.

"No, Leon. I made it clear in the interview. I said that you were the one I fell in love with. I called you on the phone to ask if you'd already watched the interview. You told me that you had. Have you forgotten?"

"What?" A look of confusion flashed on Leon's face. "Well, yes, I did watch it. And while you did say that you fell in love with someone, you never named who it was."

"But I did! Leon, I said that it was you who I fell in love with." All of a sudden, Michelle stood up. She looked a bit hurt.

Leon's lips bent downward as he tightened his frown.

Thinking it over, he remembered that it was Valerie who handed the video to him.

'Did Valerie tamper it on purpose?'

While Leon was trying to figure out what went wrong, Michelle looked at him with her big, innocent eyes. She took a deep sigh and asked, "You never watched it, did you? Please tell me the truth."

"No, I really did. I watched it, I promise. Well, it's getting a bit late. You should rest now. I just have to deal with something at the moment. I'll see you in the morning, Michelle," Leon said in a caring voice.

"Alright. Go ahead and don't worry about me. I'll be fine here." Michelle grinned as she watched him leave the ward.

After he left, Leon headed back to C Mansion. But instead of going straight to his house, he first dropped by the Feng family home nearby.

He rang the doorbell, and after a short while, Bryant came and opened the door.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Looking sharp in his tailored suit, Leon stood smartly in front of the house. He had always been kind and easy-going, but now he looked different. There was a cold indifference in his eyes that night.

His piercing eyes looked like they could chill someone to the bones.

Their eyes met each other as soon as Bryant stepped outside.

Bryant sensed that Leon was out for blood. Standing stiffly in front of him, he was reluctant to let him in.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Leon asked slowly.

"Oh, uh, yes. Please come in. Would you like some water?" Bryant said, fumbling with his words. He watched him nervously as Leon stepped inside and walked towards the living room. He closed the door and followed him.

It was already late at night, so there were no other people in the spacious living room.

"No, thanks," Leon answered. "I'm here for Valerie."

Knowing that it meant trouble for his cousin, Bryant was in a bind. "Oh, she's already asleep, unfortunately," he said, trying to make an excuse.

"If that's the case, then I suggest that you wake her up. Sleeping so much isn't good, won't you agree? You know me well, Bryant," Leon said with a smile. The expression on his face was a reminder that disagreeing with him was a bad idea.

While he was perfectly polite, Leon could also be ruthless without hesitation.

At first, he would always try to resolve a problem using communication. He was the kind of man who would do anything just to get what he wanted. But when a person tried to stand in his way, things would get ugly very quickly.

His preferred method of torture was a wicked one.

He hit them where it really hurts. He wouldn't try to hurt a person's body. Instead, he'd break down their will and spirit.

It was something Bryant knew all too well.

He knew that the people who offended Nina disappeared and lost their minds in a dark, quiet place. He also personally witnessed how Leon made life miserable for Mike.

"Okay," Bryant obeyed nervously.
