Only you in my love -
Chapter 441 I Got You
Michelle caught a glimpse of a familiar person.
He stood by the river.
"Leon?" Confused, Michelle slowly approached. When she was close enough, she confirmed that it was indeed Leon. Her heart leapt to her throat, and a bright smile spread across her face. She trotted over and shouted, "Leon!"
Hearing his name, Leon turned his head and saw a girl running toward him.
"Are you talking to me?" At first, Leon did not recognize Michelle. She was wearing different clothes and had makeup on her face, which was not her style.
In his eyes, Michelle was a sweet girl who liked strawberry cakes.
"Is that Michelle?" Wynn recognized her as soon as he turned around. After all, he had spent some time with Michelle before.
As Michelle got closer and closer, Leon started to recognize her. "Michelle?"
"Leon! Leon..." Michelle had not seen him for more than half a year, and the two of them had not kept in contact with each other. She had missed him so much. She quickened her pace and smiled wider.
Leon could now see her smiling face from where he was standing. He started walking toward her. "Watch your step."
Michelle was almost running now, and Leon was worried that she would slip on the snow, which she did.
"Ah!" Was she going to fall?
Michelle screamed and closed her eyes subconsciously.
"Look out!"
Leon's eyes widened.
In a rush of adrenaline, he dashed to catch Michelle in time.
Michelle did not feel the impact she was expecting. Instead, she found herself nestled in somebody's arms. The tip of her nose itched, and she smelled a familiar scent. It smelled like strawberry cake.
"Oh, thank goodness. I got you." Leon breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the clumsy girl in his arms, he chuckled.
She had always lost her coordination whenever she got excited.
Michelle raised her head when she heard Leon's voice. "Oh, Leon!"
Her eyes and brows curved like the crescent moon in the night sky. Her sweet smiling face reminded Leon of the strawberry cake he had just eaten in the car. "Ah, Michelle," Leon whispered, mirroring her tone.
Michelle laughed heartily and patted her bangs flat. She carefully straightened up and got out of Leon's grip. "It's really you. I wasn't imagining it."
"Yes. You have great eyesight." Leon bent down slightly to look into Michelle's eyes.
The distance between their faces became much closer, so close that Leon could feel Michelle's hot breath on his face.
She was blushing so furiously that she looked a little bit like a strawberry cake.
Michelle grinned at him and said, "And I also have an amazing sense of smell. You just ate strawberry cake, didn't you?"
With wide eyes, Leon answered, "Wow, that's impressive. As a matter of fact, I did." He did not know what to eat just now, so he just ordered a strawberry cake. However, he only had a bite. John's strange behavior had been bothering him so much that he felt uneasy and lost his appetite.
"I haven't eaten it all. I left it in the car. Would you like to finish it?" Leon asked.
Michelle shook her head and said, "No, thanks. I can't eat right now. I have more important things to do."
"What could be more important to you than eating the strawberry cake?"
Leon furrowed his brows. She was a foodie, and hearing her say that she had more important things to do made him wonder what she was talking about.
The happy smile on Michelle's face disappeared all of a sudden. She turned her head at the wedding venue, a hint of anger twisting her pretty face.
"I'm going to blow up the wedding venue and prevent them from getting married."
"What?" Leon was stunned for a moment and then smiled. "And how, may I ask, are you planning to do that? With explosives?"
"With these." Michelle opened her coat to Leon and showed him the firecrackers she was hiding underneath.
Leon was speechless.
Wynn was also speechless.
"Firecrackers? Are you celebrating for them?" Wynn's mouth twitched. "Firecrackers are used to celebrate."
"I can't find anything to use as explosives, so I have to use firecrackers," Michelle said. "Don't underestimate these. Firecrackers can hurt people. I saw these blow some kid's fingers." Leon did not know whether to laugh or be worried.
He was glad that Nina had made such a good friend, but this girl could sometimes be smart and stupid at the same time. It always cracked Leon up.
"If they're dangerous, then maybe you shouldn't be walking around with them stuck to your coat." Leon reached for the firecrackers to try to yank them off Michelle's coat, but he felt it inappropriate to touch a girl's clothes.
"Aren't you cold? Your coat is very thin. Take it off and give it to me. You can wear mine." Leon was wearing a caramel-colored overcoat with a white turtleneck sweater underneath, which was soft and warm.
Even if he took off his coat, his sweater would be warm enough against the cold.
"I'm not cold. I'm fine." Michelle stared at his coat for a while and then looked up at Leon's gentle face. She stepped back and said, "You're not worried about me being cold. If you are, then you can just take off your coat and put it on me. Why do you want me to take off my coat? You just want to grab my firecrackers."
Leon could only grin. The girl was really smart.
Wynn laughed and gave Michelle a thumbs-up sign.
With a smug smile, Michelle turned to look at Leon resolutely. "You can't stop me. Uncle John is a scum. I want to get him and his new woman in trouble. I need these weapons."
"You called them weapons?" Leon took off his coat and put it on Michelle.
He was way taller than Michelle, so his overcoat covered her down to the calves.
The coat was not only long on her but also very big. Standing next to him, she looked like a cute little dwarf wearing an oversized coat.
Staring dotingly at Michelle, Leon wrapped his overcoat around her tightly as if he was swaddling an infant.
"Eat the strawberry cake first before you blow up John's wedding." Leon gently closed the coat, and Michelle stretched out her arms into the large armholes.
"The coat is way too big." Michelle put her hands in the air, and they did not peek out of the coat's sleeves. Leon chuckled.
"It doesn't matter." Leon was about to take her away, but Michelle did not budge.
She stood her ground and said, "I really have to do this. It's important."
Before she finished her words, she withdrew one of her hands, turned around, and wiggled out of Leon's impossibly massive coat. Then, she started running away. "Wait for me here. I'll come back to you after I finish my work." The caramel-colored overcoat fell to the ground with one of the sleeves in Leon's hand.
For a moment, Leon was petrified. He shook his head and sighed, "She's so stubborn. I don't know if I have time to wait for her to come back after she finishes her work."
He took his coat back and tossed it to Wynn. It was then that he noticed a phone on the floor.
It was Michelle's phone. It must have fallen when she got out of his coat.
Leon picked it up and lit up the screen. He saw his own photo, the one taken by Michelle in the amusement park.
She used his photo as her wallpaper.
Leon stared at the phone for a while and then smiled.
