You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 823

With her hands pressed against his chest, Michelle found it hard to breath. In the darkness, she could only see a vague outline of a man on top of her.

"Leon, I have to go home later," she said weakly.

"Michelle, you've progressed so fast that you can understand what I mean." Leon leaned over and buried his face in her neck. "I'm going to take a shower."

Then he got off her and flicked on the lights, temporarily blinding Michelle.

Squinting, she raised her hands to cover her eyes from the harsh light. She could only hear Leon's footsteps leading to the bathroom, then the sound of a door opening and closing, and finally, the sound of running water.

After what seemed like forever, Michelle sat up in bed and frowned at the bathroom door.

The steady sound of running water continued. Worried, she hurried to knock on the door. "Leon?" she called out softly.

The sound of running water stopped.

"What's up?" Leon replied in a low voice.

"You've been in the bath too long," Michelle pointed out, her tone colored with concern.

Cold droplets of water rolled down his fair skin. Leon ran his fingers through his wet hair and wiped the water on his face.

Michelle's concern reminded him of those times three years ago. She had reminded him not to take long hot baths in winter. He smiled at the memory.

"Okay, I'm coming out."

"Good."

Then, he heard the sound of footsteps padding away from the bathroom door. Grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist, he stepped outside the bathroom, water still dripping from his drenched hair.

Seeing this, Michelle frowned. "Leon, why didn't you dry your hair? Do you have another towel? And where're your clothes? You'll catch a cold at this rate!"

And with that, she turned around to look for some clothes he could put on. Somewhat frustrated, Leon ran his fingers through his hair. "Michelle, don't you want to see more?" he asked helplessly.

"Put on some clothes first!" Michelle came back with a bathrobe and quickly put it on him.

As she did so, droplets of water from his hair landed on the back of her hand, which made her shiver.

"Leon, did you take a cold shower?"

Leon quickly took the bathrobe from her and put it on himself. With a calm expression, he lied, "No, I just washed my face with cold water. It probably got to my hair."

Michelle eyed him dubiously.

Feeling guilty, Leon changed the topic. "Anyway, have you seen the hair dryer?"

She shook her head. "Let me go find it."

Leon held up his hand to stop her. "It's fine, I'll look for it myself. Just sit down and think about what you want to eat for dinner."

Michelle was forced to sit on the sofa. She watched him wordlessly as he searched for the hair dryer.

He would use hair gel every day. Now, without gel, his hair looked so silky.

He was a gentle man, but now he looked even gentler.

There was a time someone asked her what kind of boy she liked. Most girls liked cool and handsome men, but she always wanted a gentle and considerate man.

Leon checked all the boxes.

He was her perfect match.

With her chin resting in her hands, Michelle watched Leon get ready with sparkles in her eyes. She only snapped out of her daze when a pair of long legs appeared in front of her.

"Are you done getting ready?"

"Yes." Leon bent over to look her in the eye and smiled. "What were you looking at just now? My legs?"

"I was just looking at you, Leon." It was no secret Michelle had a thing for Leon's long legs.

Staring into her sparkling eyes, Leon couldn't help but lean closer and kiss her.

It was a gentle kiss, but full of passion.
