You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 614 Will Leon Like Me

Nina's hand was already on Michelle's forehead while Berry leaned closer to her.

Sandwiched between the two, Michelle reached out, grabbed Nina's hand, and put it down.

"I'm fine. Stop it."

"Then why are you being quiet?" Although Berry had only known Michelle for less than three hours, she already knew that she was a lively person. If she was not talking, then there was definitely something wrong.

Michelle pouted and replied, "Nothing. You were talking about something I didn't know, so I figured I'd just listen. What you said was interesting, though."

It was not until then that Nina realized that they had been ignoring Michelle. She held Michelle's hand and said, "Then let's change the subject. We'll talk about something that we all know."

"Yes. That's a great idea. What if we talk about Leon? Oh, wait. Will he kill me if he finds out?" Berry beamed.

"I'm sure my brother has better things to do than kill you for talking behind his back," Nina replied, rolling her eyes. She turned to look at Michelle and found that she seemed a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, Mimi. My parents know you. I often mention you to them and so does my brother. They're excited to meet you."

Michelle thought, 'Really? Leon talks about me with his parents?'

Her heart leapt to her throat, making her even more nervous. "What did Leon say about me?"

The moment she asked the question, she regretted it.

Before she could retract it, Nina replied with a smile, "He said that you're an interesting and adorable girl."

Michelle thought, 'Adorable?

Am I really adorable?

Will Leon like me?

Well, I don't think so.

Leon is in love with someone else.'

Michelle immersed herself deeply in thought. She felt like she was sick again.

"Yes! You are interesting, adorable, and sweet!" Berry jumped excitedly and stood in front of Michelle. She held her face in her hands. Michelle's cheeks felt so soft against her palms. "And you're beautiful. When I'm done, it's your turn to say nice things about me."

Michelle blinked her big eyes at Berry and let her pinch her cheeks. She was very happy that she truly liked her. She flashed her a sincere smile.

"You're beautiful, too. Like Nina and like a supermodel. You can take a photo right now and just post it without slapping filters on it."

Berry giggled at Michelle's comment. She let go of her face and said, "Oh, thank you. I really appreciate that. Can you take photos of me when you're free? I haven't taken a beautiful photo of myself since I was a child."

"Why is that?" Michelle asked, tilting her head.

The reason was that Berry had lived most of her life as a man. She could not have taken beautiful photos of herself, only handsome ones.

"Well..." Berry waved her hand and did not go on.

Michelle pressed, "You were looking at yourself in a compact mirror in the car while talking to me.

I assumed you loved taking beautiful photos of yourself." Berry felt a little embarrassed. "Was I?"

She thought, 'Did I always look at myself in the mirror?'

"Yes. I was sitting next to you, so I couldn't have seen it wrong. You borrowed my compact mirror. You also asked me if your long hair looked good and if you looked like a lady in your dress," Michelle replied seriously.

Berry blinked her eyes twice, tilted her head, and said nothing. She pretended not to understand what Michelle was talking about.

Nina chuckled. "Please forgive her, Mimi. It's her first time to wear a dress."

"Really? You should wear dresses from now on. You're gorgeous. You still have to work on your elegance, but you're pretty like a fairy."

The corner of Berry's mouth twitched.

'So I'm not an elegant lady?'

She was determined to be an elegant lady!

"From now on, you two please call me Lady Berry." Berry flipped her hair and tucked it neatly behind her ear. She showed Nina and Michelle her elegant lady smile.

She rolled her shoulders and straightened her back. Then, she raised her chin slightly and looked straight ahead. With her hands crossed over her belly, she began prancing around.

Seeing that her friends did not follow her lead, Berry slowly turned her head and smiled at them. While Nina and Michelle looked at her like they were seeing a dancing ghost, Berry calmly and coquettishly tidied up her hair.

"What? Haven't you seen an elegant lady before?"

Her smile was sweet and gentle and her voice light and soft and as melodious as an oriole's song.

"Let's go, inexperienced girls." Berry waved her friends over, pretending to be a lady from a rich family.

She should be holding and waving a silk handkerchief in her hand to complete the look.

But since she did not have a silk handkerchief on her, she settled for an invisible one, which made her look a little silly.

Nina put her hand over her mouth to keep herself from laughing out loud.

Michelle just stared blankly at Berry.

They looked at each other, shrugged, and started walking faster than their lady friend.

If Berry wanted to pretend to be an elegant lady, she could certainly do it while staying as far away from them as possible. As the two gained distance, Berry yelled after them, "Hey, wait for me! Slow down! An elegant lady can't walk that fast!"

However, Michelle and Nina ignored her. Seeing that they were almost at the door, Berry immediately quit her elegant lady act and ran to them as quickly as she could.

"What were you two doing? Why couldn't you wait for an elegant lady?" Berry put her hands on the napes of Nina's and Michelle's necks. She looked at the two of them angrily.

"An elegant lady? Let go of me, Berry, or else..." Nina turned to look at Berry and narrowed her eyes at her.

"Okay, okay. Calm down." Berry quickly withdrew her hands, fearing that Nina would break them.

Then, she put her arm around Michelle's shoulder. She leaned in and said, "You should really teach Nina some manners, Mimi. No one in their right mind threatens an elegant lady."

Michelle looked at her and chuckled.

Suddenly, someone walked out of the house. When Michelle saw who it was, the smile on her face disappeared.

Panic and joy flashed through her eyes.

Her hand flew over her mouth as if to stop her heart from jumping out of it.

Her pulse quickened, and she started getting butterflies in her stomach.

She blinked multiple times to make sure that she was not dreaming.

Leon stood at the door. His eyes were unreadable, and he was frowning slightly.

When he heard people talking outside, Leon looked through the window to check it out. His eyes flew right to the petite girl he had not seen for a long time.

She went abroad without telling him and practically disappeared for three years. She didn't even bother to let him know if she was okay.

The moment Leon saw Michelle, he felt extremely happy and relieved, but those feelings were soon replaced by anger and frustration.

He had been looking for her in several different countries for the last three years, but he never found her. He had been worried sick since she left.

Now it seemed that he had fretted too much for nothing. She looked so happy and healthy.

It was clear that she had no idea what she had put him through over the past three years.

And now it was time to teach her a lesson. Leon decided that he would ask her if she cared about him at all.

The moment Michelle laid eyes on him, she froze and put her hand over her mouth.

Leon thought, 'She must be scared out of her mind.

So scared that her heart is about to jump out of her chest.'

As if he did not see his own sister, Leon walked straight to Michelle and looked down at her. "I don't think I've ever seen you this scared. Let me guess. You're covering your mouth because your heart is about to jump out of it? How could you leave me without saying goodbye and disappear for three years?"
