You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 804

The four of them left the study. They saw James chasing after Don. Infectious laughter filled the living room.

Van relayed to Michelle and Emma the fight in the kindergarten and proposed some solutions.

Although he was still quite young and not yet eloquent enough to express his thoughts clearly, his independent thinking couldn't be ignored, which was something even some adults lacked.

Leon, who overheard the conversation, smiled and gave Van an encouraging thumbs-up sign.

"I caught you!"

James caught up to Don and held him up in his arms. "Well, your parents are done with their business. It's dinner time!"

"Let's eat!" Don chirped happily.

Michelle whispered, "Emma, it's obvious that James is fond of the kids. When will you two have a baby?"

"In a few years," Emma answered. She smiled as her eyes landed on James. "He likes playing with Don and Van. But if he had to take care of a baby every day, I'm sure he'd go crazy."

"Oh, alright." Michelle smiled.

"How about you? When will you get a boyfriend?" Emma asked, turning the question around.

Michelle was obviously taken aback. "Boyfriend?" she echoed dumbly.

The truth was, she did have a boyfriend.

And he was in the living room.

But she didn't want others to know yet.

She cast a furtive glance at Leon, who was busy chatting with Van, and couldn't help smiling. Worried they'd be found out, she sheepishly lowered her head.

Sensing her gaze, Leon turned his head and saw her smiling happily with her head down.

"What's up?" Leon asked, smiling with one eyebrow raised.

Flustered, Michelle shook her head, but she couldn't wipe the smile off her face.

She was just so giddy and happy, knowing Leon was her boyfriend and that he liked her.

She couldn't hide her emotions at all.

"I was just asking her when she'll get a boyfriend. I don't know why she's smiling to herself," Emma answered for her. Then, it suddenly dawned on her. Turning back to Michelle, she asked, "Is there someone you like? That must be why you're so happy!"

This time, Michelle made no attempt to hide it. Her head bobbed up and down in confirmation.

"Is that so?" Emma was overjoyed and didn't ask further questions. Instead, she just smiled at Michelle knowingly and said, "I'm looking forward to meeting him someday."

"I'll introduce you to him, don't worry." Michelle shyly glanced at Leon. When their eyes met, she quickly averted her gaze, flustered.

'Are you so afraid of being found out?' Leon wondered, bemused. Aloud, he asked playfully, "Michelle, when will you find a boyfriend and introduce him to us?"

If it were anybody else, it was a harmless question. However, as Michelle's boyfriend, Leon's words must've meant something else.

Michelle figured that he wanted her to announce that they were a couple.

"Very soon!" she answered immediately.

"Oh?" Leon poked fun at her. "How soon? Now?"

"Now?" Michelle was shocked. She wasn't ready to let the cat out of the bag.

Emma patted Michelle on the shoulder reassuringly. "Uncle Leon is just joking. Anyway, time to eat!"

"Well, alright then," Michelle said uncertainly. She snuck a nervous glance at Leon, her bright, beautiful eyes glistening.

'Leon, I'm sorry.

Give me some time to mentally prepare myself, ' she pleaded internally.

Because he'd known Michelle for so long, Leon could almost read her mind.

His gaze softened and he said gently, "I'm just kidding."

Michelle took a deep breath. "Thank you, Leon," she said sincerely.

"Mimi, I call him Uncle Leon, but you just call him his name. It's weird," Emma pointed out.
