Although Michelle and Leon had registered for marriage and were legal couples, in Adams's eyes, Leon was just his future son-in-law.
In her parents' eyes, Michelle was still an unmarried daughter, so after dinner, Leon went back alone.
Of course, Vicente stayed overnight.
When they came, they were three people, but now he was the only one who left.
Walking in the community, Leon lowered her head and saw his long shadow. He stayed with Michelle this afternoon, but now he was alone.
He sighed heavily in the bottom of his heart. He looked back at the home of Michelle, where the light was still on, and couldn't help laughing.
Leon took out her phone and called Tim, asking to see him. When he arrived at the appointed place, he saw the back of a woman from a distance, as if he had seen her somewhere.
After the two of them talked for a while, the woman stood up and left.
At night, Elaine came to Michelle's room and had a long conversation with her. She scolded Michelle for being angry with them.
How could a daughter threaten her parents to agree with her marriage by not going home? It could be regarded as an unfilial behavior.
Michelle listened to the rebuke silently and lowered her head to show that she had realized her fault.
It seemed that she had a good attitude towards the matter. Elaine said in a soft tone, "Don't do it again, or I will definitely not be softhearted."
Michelle nodded.
The problem seemed to have solved in this way like this. Michelle thought that good fortune lurked within bad, so she go to sleep happily.
The second morning, when Elaine just finished making breakfast, someone rang the doorbell. She took off her apron and went to open the door.
At the door stood a woman whom Elaine was very familiar with. She was the owner of a flower shop, who would send a bunch of champagne roses here every week.
As usual, Elaine signed for it. While talking with the owner of the flower shop with a smile, she asked, "Can you tell me who ordered the flowers?"
Elaine asked it every time, but she always got the same answer, "I'm sorry. The client asked me to keep it a secret."
"Fine." Elaine signed.
The owner of the flower shop gave her a hint today, "He is the pursuer of your daughter."
"I can see that." Elaine said, "But I have never seen such a strange pursuer. He didn't send the flowers to Michelle in person but asked me to change the flowers secretly."
The owner of the flower shop also felt strange, but she just responsible for delivering flowers, so she said nothing more.
Elaine thanked her and went upstairs with the bouquet. She tiptoed into Michelle's room and changed the flowers which were about to wither in the vase.
When she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Michelle mumbled from behind.
"Mom?" Michelle rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Good morning, mom. Why are you here in my room?"
It was not the first time that Elaine had sneaked upstairs to change flowers. In the past Michelle had been sleeping very well and wouldn't be woken up easily unable. Elaine didn't expect that she would wake up today.
Elaine turned around as if nothing had happened, "Go downstairs to have breakfast. I'll go to the next room to wake up your cousin."
"Don't do that." Michelle yawned and said, "Let him sleep a little longer. He can eat after he wakes up."
"Okay." Elaine glanced at the champagne roses in the vase and asked curiously, "Michelle, do you like this flower? You couldn't even keep plants alive before. "
"Well, I still can't do it now." Michelle turned to look at the bunch of flowers and smiled brightly. "It's an exception. It's the bridal bouquet of Nini. It has a very good meaning."
It was from Leon.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Leon had to admit, "It's from me."
"Ah?" Michelle was shocked for the second time.
"It's from me." Leon rubbed the back of her head and repeated, "I think you like that flower very much. At that time, we were not together. I don't know how to send you the flower, so I secretly ordered it for you."
Michelle's face lit up, "So, it's you who renew the flowers for me?"
"Renew flowers?" Leon thought this phrase was interesting. He chuckled and said, "Yes, it's me."
The bridal bouquet represented happiness, so renewing the bridal bouquet meant renewing happiness.
Michelle was so happy that she stood on tiptoe to kiss him, and then ran back with the flowers in her arms. "Leon, wait for me. I'll be right back!"
Obviously she was going back to put the flowers back in the vase. Seeing her running happily, Leon followed her unhurriedly with a smile on his face.
Seeing Michelle running back in a hurry, Elaine asked, "Won't you go out? Why do you come back? And won't you throw that flowers away? "
"The flowers are from Leon. I can't throw them away." Michelle ran upstairs and repeated, "Leon ordered the flowers for me!"
"They are from Leon?" Looking at Michelle's back, Elaine murmured to herself, "If they are really from Leon, it seems that he has been having crush on Michelle since long time ago."
She had always thought that it was Michelle who had crush on Leon first.
In fact, it didn't matter who had crush on the other person first. What mattered was that they could always love each other.
