You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 812

Michelle was given a guided tour of the field strawberries. Truth be told, the strawberries planted by Leon looked like the ones planted by others, she still felt that the ones he planted were special.

Charmed, Michelle took a picture of the strawberry field and sent it to Leon.

"Thank you for your strawberries.

I like you so much, Leon.

I miss you.

How about I cook a meal for you? When you have the time, let's go shopping together. I'll cook for you."

Seconds after she sent that message, her phone started to ring.

Leon was calling her.

Caught off guard, Michelle almost dropped her phone.

Tasha, who was also startled by the ringing phone, glanced at the phone screen and saw Leon's profile picture. "I have something I need to take care of. Feel free to wander some more. If you need anything, just ask me."

"Okay, thank you." Michelle smiled sheepishly and waited until Tasha was out of earshot before answering the phone.

"Michelle," Leon greeted dotingly from the other end of the line.

"Why'd you call me out of the blue, Leon?" Michelle asked. She could barely hide the happiness in her tone of voice.

"You said you missed me. Sorry, I can't go to the manor now. That's why I called," Leon answered.

Michelle giggled. "I love you, Leon."

"I know." While Leon might not have been good at expressing his feelings, Michelle could tell from his tone of voice that he was quite happy.

His happiness meant her happiness.

She had been very happy these days, which seemed to wash away the pain of the past three years.

Now that they could be together, nothing else mattered.

"You seem to be in a good mood," Leon said. "What happened today?"

"I know it, Leon," Michelle said. "The strawberries."

After a moment of silence, Leon chuckled. "Let me guess. Tasha told you?"

"Yeah! Leon, can I cook a meal for you?" Michelle asked.

"Just one meal?" Leon seemed unsatisfied. "It took me three years to plant strawberries for you and yet you only offer one meal in return?"

"How many meals do you want?" Michelle asked thoughtfully.

"Cook for me for the rest of my life, Michelle."

His calm and soothing voice filled her body with warmth despite the cold weather.

Every time he spoke to her like this, she felt unexplainably hot, as though her heart started beating with fiery passion.

Before she could say anything, Leon's soothing voice wafted over to her again.

"You don't have to cook for me every day, just remember it's a lifetime thing."

"Yes! Leon, I won't forget it." Michelle tightly clasped the phone close to her ear. "Let me start tonight. Once Caroline is done with her work, let's go out and buy some ingredients."

"Okay. Call me when you're done. I'll pick you up."

"Okay, Leon. I'm hanging up now."

When they dropped the call, Michelle stared at her phone screen, sighing contentedly.

That evening, Leon did as he had promised and picked up Michelle at the Dream Manor. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a figure running towards him.

"Leon!" she cried ecstatically.
