You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 850

Michelle was mindlessly tailing Vicente when she suddenly came to her senses.

"Wait, where are you taking me? I can't be alone with strangers."

Vicente was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. "Don't worry, I'm not a stranger. I'm Berry's cousin and a good friend of Nina and Leon. So, in a way, I'm your friend, too."

Michelle looked at her with wide eyes. "You know me?"

"Yes, Michelle." Vicente grabbed Michelle's wrist. "Let's get you a new pair of shoes."

Michelle tried to take another step and felt a sharp pain. She resigned herself and allowed Vicente to lead her into a quiet reception room.

Vicente made her sit on the sofa and asked a nearby servant to bring her some tea. When the servant was gone, she glanced at her feet and said, "Take your shoes off and rest here. I need to go out to make a call."

"Okay." Michelle watched as Vicente scuttled to the door, fishing her phone out of her pocket. Through the big French window, she saw Vicente talking on the phone.

After the call, Vicente poked her head in through the door and said, "Sit tight. Someone will bring you a pair of shoes. Right now, I have something urgent to deal with."

"Okay." Michelle nodded obediently.

Unconvinced, Vicente added, "Don't go wandering around. Just sit here and wait for me to come back."

Vicente didn't leave until she promised.

Michelle started to feel bored, so she tried to reach for her phone. Then she remembered she'd slipped it into Caroline's handbag on the way here, thinking they'd stick together throughout the whole night.

Her eyes started to wander. She eyed the door and saw the shadow of a person walking past the room, but no one peaked inside or knocked on the door.

'Since I'm the only one here, it won't matter if I take off my shoes, right?

But it'd be so weird to take my shoes off at such a grand banquet...'

Conflicted, she glanced at her feet. She saw the blisters on her feet, which made her decide to take off her shoes.

Her heels fell to the cold floor and she felt cool and comfortable.

The feeling of relief washed over her when her feet were finally free. Finally at ease, she relaxed into the sofa and stretched out her legs, wriggling her toes.

After a while, she sat up straight, bent down, and curiously poked at a blister. A sharp pain shot up from the blister, and she quickly retracted her hand.

She started to blow on her feet in the hopes of relieving the pain.

She knew blowing on the blisters would do nothing to ease the pain. But at the very least, it might give her comfort of some sort.

When he received the phone call from Vicente, Leon rushed to the banquet venue.

There were many reception rooms in the hall, so Leon wasn't sure which one Michelle was in. He could only run and check every room one by one.

When he passed the room she was in, Michelle was blowing on her foot, so Leon didn't see her face. He didn't recognize the woman in the room, so he quickly moved on to the next one.

But Michelle felt her senses tingling strangely. She raised her head slowly, but there was no one outside the glass door.

Still, she couldn't help but feel that Leon was nearby. "Leon," she whispered.

Despite her whisper being barely audible, Leon stopped in his tracks. Swallowing uncertainly, he took two cautious steps backward.

He turned his head to look through the glass door and saw the girl in a beautiful cyan dress sitting on the sofa.

Her shoulder length hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her fair neck and lovely clavicle. With her head tilted slightly to the side, she looked a little confused, as though she were an ethereal spirit that happened to stumble into this mortal world.

She was wearing the bracelet sent by him, which made her skin look even fairer than usual.

'It's her.

I've finally found Michelle.'

Leon breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled to himself helplessly. Sparing no more time, he pushed the door open, announcing his presence.

To attend the party held by the Yin family, one needed to dress formally. Leon himself was wearing a smart, black suit with a white shirt underneath, an elegant bow tie peeking out at the collar.

A pair of long, slender legs dressed in black slacks and polished leather shoes started making their way towards the girl on the sofa.

Michelle looked up in a daze and their eyes meet. She saw the handsome man she had missed so much coming closer and closer.
