You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 623 Happiness Knocked On The Door

When Leon looked at Tim again, his smile seemed to come back again as he asked curiously, "How old are you, Mr. Shen?"

Tim pulled his hand away. It were being held so tightly that the blood flow in his fingers actually stopped. After being freed, they returned to their original color.

He had no idea that a man that seemed so tender, such as Leon, could be so strong.

He knew Leon wanted to intimidate him, but he couldn't figure out why. Another thing that bothered him was that he didn't know why Leon was trying to figure out his age.

Leon was the prince of C Island, so Tim couldn't afford offending him.

"Twenty-eight," Tim answered honestly.

"You don't look your age. I'm also twenty-eight years old this year." Leon looked him up and down with a faint smile. "You look like quite a steady man. Please mind your behavior." 'Steady?

Is he trying to tell me that I look old?'

Even though Tim was beginning to lose his temper, he had to calm down. Aside from Leon's high status, today was also John's wedding and he couldn't cause a scene here.

But why was Leon so hostile towards him?

Was it because of Michelle?

It seemed to be so. Leon adored his sister and Michelle as well since she was her best friend. Perhaps he was just worried that Tim would hurt Michelle.

After all, Tim had a terrible reputation in the eyes of the so-called upper class.

Tim didn't care too much about it, but he was cautious. "Thank you for your warning, Mr. Lu."

"You are welcome. Mr. Shen, if you don't have anything else to say, you may leave. Michelle and I have something to talk about." After saying that, Leon still felt that he wasn't clear enough and added, "Even if you do have something to say, I'd like you to leave anyway."

There was no way Tim would misunderstand such a clear message. He already got Michelle's number so he didn't need anything else.

He turned around and walked away.

Not far away, Victor suddenly jumped out and asked with concern, "Mr. Shen, what happened over there?"

After being so aggravated, Tim gnashed his teeth and projected his anger on Victor, shouting, "Are you fucking blind?"

'Maybe I am.

I saw you talk to that girl and want to shake hands with her. I thought I was seeing things.'

Victor kept his thoughts bottled up. He hesitated before asking, "Is Leon Lu going to compete with you for that woman, Mr. Shen?"

Taking a deep breath, Tim barked, "Go to the hospital to check your eyes now. Don't come back until you have recovered."

"Am I really blind?" Victor stopped and recalled the scene carefully. He was lost in thought for a while before he concluded that he was not wrong.

'Leon was trying to compete with Mr. Shen for that woman, right?'

Tim ignored him and strode away.

Leon offered to send Michelle back to her room. She stubbornly refused to listen to him.

Watching the girl walk away, Leon started feeling annoyed.

She was stuck to his side three years ago and now, she was almost trying to hide from him.

Had he done something to offend her during these years?

It was impossible. He had failed to find her during the three years. How could he have done anything wrong to her?

It had been half a month since she came back from abroad, but the two of them could barely even speak properly to each other. Since they were staying over in the castle, he was determined to find out why she was avoiding him.

Leon didn't know which room Michelle was staying in, so he had to ask Helen.

Since it was at night, it was really inappropriate for a man to go to a woman's room. They were not a couple, so there was no reason he should go there.

Helen politely refused, "Mr. Lu, why don't you call her first?"

If he could call her, he wouldn't be asking Helen for help right now. Leon smiled helplessly. "She changed her phone number three years ago and refused to tell me the new one."

The fact that Michelle wasn't giving him her number just made Helen more vigilant. "How about you go to see her tomorrow? I think she has gone to bed already. She must be tired after being a bridesmaid today."

Leon couldn't help laughing. "Helen, are you worried that I'm going to do something out of line? Don't you trust me?"

Helen knew that she was exposed and she felt a little embarrassed. "No, I do trust you. I'm just worried that you are going to disturb Miss He."

Leon's cunning amber eyes shifted around as he came up with a plan.

"Helen, let me tell you a secret. After that, you can decide whether to help me or not. What do you think?"

Helen hesitated for a while and moved close to him.

When he whispered something in her ear, Helen's face was full of surprise and then erupted into joy.

"Mr. Lu, does your sister know about this?" Helen looked at him excitedly.

"Not yet. Please keep it a secret for me. When I figure it all out, I will tell her." His tone soon relaxed. "Can you tell me now?"

"Okay, okay." Helen nodded with a smile. "Where there is a will, there is a way. If you persist, you will succeed. All women are softhearted."

"Thank you for your blessing." Knowing where Michelle was staying, Leon turned around and went to look for her.

Michelle asked the servant to find a white porcelain vase, filled it with water, and inserted the champagne roses into the vase one by one.

She was by no means skilled in flower arrangement but she did organize them neatly. The stems squeezed out of the small bottleneck into a bunch of blooming roses. Michelle put the vase on the table and stood in front of it. Then she folded her hands and bowed devoutly.

As soon as she bowed to it, there was a knock on the door.

"Huh?" Michelle was still bent over when she tilted her head to look at the door.

'Could it be Leon?'

she wondered.

There were two more knocks at the door.

Michelle quickly turned around to open and see who was there.

As soon as the door swung open, she saw Leon standing outside with a warm smile. Michelle's eyes were about to pop out of her head. 'Oh, my God!

It worked!

It really worked!

The bridal bouquet really does bring happiness.'

Berry did say that happiness would find her by itself.

It was true!

Happiness was like bubbles that consumed Michelle's mind, making her temporarily forget that it was just her unrequited love after all.

"Leon?" Michelle couldn't hide her joy and a smile beamed from her face. Greeted by such a warm figure, Leon felt like he was transported back to three years ago.

He didn't know what had happened that made her change her attitude so drastically in such a short time.

Whatever it was, it made him happy. He joyfully greeted, "Michelle."

However, his joy did not last long. Somehow, the light in her eyes was visibly fading away.

"Leon, what's up?" Michelle averted her gaze and could only look down at his legs.

They stood like pillars, long and straight.

"I want to talk to you. Let me come in." As usual, Leon reached out to touch her head. Michelle tried to move back but her feet stayed rooted to the floor. She couldn't even move a centimeter away. His big palm covered her head, and she could feel the warmth seep through her hair. It was almost hot in actuality.

Like the scorching sunshine, it penetrated into her scalp and spread to her limbs and bones.

Michelle was so nervous that she held her breath.

"Leon, what do you want to say?" She was trying whatever she could to distract herself.

Leon walked in. "Someone got drunk and fell asleep in my room, so I have no place to rest tonight."

He stopped, turned around and looked at the girl still standing at the door. He slowly said, "Michelle, can you let me stay here for one night?"

Michelle was shocked.

These were the exact same words he said to her three years ago.
