You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 684 Sharing A Bed

Leon pushed her away slightly and, in a husky voice, said, "Well, don't jump. You're going to break the bed."

"Okay." Michelle was so happy that she didn't notice how close they were. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been brave enough to jump into the arms of the person she liked.

Her thoughts were too preoccupied with what Leon had just said. She giggled as she stood on the bed and kissed the photo of Nina and her.

"That's great. Both Nini and Uncle John are fine. They have two babies. Their babies must be so cute! Hey, Leon, are they boys or girls?" Michelle stood in front of Leon and

they stared deeply at each other's eyes.

For a while, the world stopped between them. Leon could do nothing but get lost in the depth of her gaze.

When he snapped back to reality, he averted his eyes away from her. "They're baby boys."

"Wow. I'm so glad everything turned out fine.

I can't believe that Nini has two cute baby boys. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

I bet they're as beautiful and smart as her." Just thinking about Nina and her two boys made Michelle very excited to see them. "When will Nini and Uncle John come back? I miss them so much."

"Soon." Leon turned around and left.

Before he could cross the threshold of the door, Michelle grabbed his sleeve to stop him. "Leon, where are you going?"

"I'm going to take a shower." Just like that, Leon walked off and disappeared before her eyes.

"Okay." Then, Michelle narrowed her eyes and thought of something. "Leon, didn't you just take a shower earlier? Why are you going to the bathroom again?"

She got no response. Only silence and the sound of the door closing shut.

Michelle grabbed her phone and wanted to tell the news to James and others, but then she remembered her promise with Leon not to tell anyone. So to resist the urge, she closed her WeChat app and threw her phone back to the bed.

If they knew the good news, Michelle was sure they'd be jumping out of joy too.

Leon took so long in the shower that when he came back, the air conditioner in his bedroom had already been repaired. However, the one in the living room hadn't been fixed yet since they didn't bring refrigerant. They said they would back tomorrow.

When Michelle sent them out, Leon had just finished showering. Even without the air conditioner in the living room, he still felt cool and fresh.

"Has the air conditioner in my bedroom been repaired?"

"Yes. But the one in the living room has to wait until tomorrow."

"Okay." Leon couldn't look straight into Michelle's eyes. He felt that she wasn't just a sister to him and couldn't treat her as such.

After all, they were neither related by blood nor were they distant relatives.

At the end of the day, Michelle was still a woman. He had to keep his distance and be careful around her. Otherwise, he might not be able to resist the urge to make love with her.

Maybe it was because he hadn't slept with someone for such a long time.

"It's late. Go to bed early." Leon rushed into his bedroom without saying good night.

"Good night, Leon." Michelle waved her hand with a smile and walked into her room briskly.

Before she closed the door, she heard a loud noise coming from the next room, as if something was broken.

Michelle immediately turned around and pushed the door to Leon's room open.

The bedside lamp was in pieces. There were also bits and pieces of the air conditioner's remote control scattered on the floor. She noticed that the lid on its back was open, and the battery was nowhere to be seen.

On the edge of the bed, Leon sat while holding a stack of photos and a folder. His was stricken with fear.

"What's wrong with you, Leon?" Michelle walked towards him.

"I...uh..." With his mind still dazed, Leon stuffed the photos back into the folder and placed it into the drawer.

"It's nothing." Leon gasped and looked up at Michelle. He tried his best to fake a smile. "Michelle, why are you here?"

"Leon, are you sure you're okay?" Michelle pointed at the debris scattered across the floor and looked back at Leon with worried eyes.

"Oh, I bumped into the bedside lamp by accident." Leon seemed to be calm, but the pictures that he had just taken out from the folder kept flashing in his mind.

It had been a while since he stayed in this room. All this time, he never bothered to touch anything. However, today, he was caught by a whim and wanted to find if there was anything in this room related to Nina. When he opened the drawer, he saw a folder.

Out of curiosity, he opened it. But what he saw shook him to the core. They were photos of people getting murdered and dismembered.

Usually, he wouldn't be afraid of such grisly images, but these took him by surprise.

Fear took hold of him so badly that he accidentally knocked over the lamp and the remote control nearby.

Leon swallowed. "What was this room used for?" he asked.

"Nini used to solve crimes in this room." Michelle had always been bad at reading people's expressions. It didn't help that Leon was so good at masking what he really felt. She thought that Leon was just a little pale, but everything seemed fine.

She pointed at the wall on the other side of the bed. "There, Nini used to hang a whiteboard. She would pin a lot of photos there and drew lines to connect them using a marker. I never understood it, but I thought it was awesome how Nini could figure out how criminals killed people."

"What?" Even after her explanation, Leon was still in a state of disbelief as he wiped the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

He regretted flipping through that folder. If he hadn't, then he wouldn't have seen those terrifying photos.

Now that he knew the history of this room, he could no longer look at the wall. Even though it was empty now, he could still imagine what this room would've looked like in the past.

The thought of it scared him to death. He knew he couldn't stay in this room a second longer.

He looked at the remote control on the floor, which had been smashed beyond recognition, and sprang up. "Michelle, the remote of the air conditioner here is broken. I'll have to stay in your room to enjoy the air conditioner tonight."

"Okay." Michelle smiled. She followed him when Leon had gone out. "But Leon, do you want to stay up all night?"

Leon stopped in his tracks. 'Sleeping's going to be a problem, ' he thought.

For him, it wasn't a big deal to stay overnight.

He just didn't want to be in the room next door.

Once they entered the room, Michelle closed the door behind her. 'Leon would be staying in this room tonight with me!' The very thought paralyzed her so much that she could only stand still while feeling her heart thump against her chest.

Even though Leon only treated her as a sister, she knew for a fact that he was more than a brother to her. Being in the same room meant that she wouldn't be able to sleep. Her only option was to stay up all night.

'I have a three-day off and don't need to go back to the club tomorrow. I can stay up all night, and sleep the entire day tomorrow.

But Leon can't afford to do the same since he has work tomorrow. If he is tired from staying up all night, he will definitely receive a scolding from his boss.'

She didn't want Leon to be scolded!

"Leon, I'll go to the next room and bring your bed sheets here. Have a good sleep tonight. I can..." She trailed off as she didn't know what she was going to do.

Leon looked up at her. "What will you do? It's okay. Go to sleep. It's not good for you to stay up late. Don't mind me. I'll be fine even if I don't sleep."

"But..."

"Be a good girl." Leon's voice was so coaxing and charming that she had no choice but to obey him. Just looking at his sweet smile intoxicated her.

One look from him, and the world began to spin as her face turned red.

"Okay, Leon," Michelle said softly.

Even though Leon said he'd be fine, she still didn't want him to lose any sleep. She looked around the room and something popped into her head.

"Leon, I have an idea!" Michelle's face lit up. Leon watched on suspiciously as she climbed on the bed, folded the quilt into a strip, and placed it in the middle of the bed.

"Look! You can sleep on this side of the bed, while I can sleep on the other side."

"You got to be joking, right?" The quilt that was supposed to barricade them from each was so insignificantly small that it might as well not be there. He could just roll over it, and there would no longer be anything that would separate them.

Leon suspected that Michelle was setting him up to do something that he would regret. He shook his head. "No, you sleep by yourself."

"Leon, I'm serious. This isn't a joke. It's much better for you to sleep rather than sit all night."

'She makes a good point, but...'

Leon tried to control himself and stared at her calmly. "Michelle, do you know what it's called if you let me sleep in the same bed with you now?"

'It's called seduction!

Can you be more sensitive?'

Michelle scratched her head. "What is it called?

Is there anything wrong with it?"

Leon bit his lips.

Sure enough, he was thinking too much.

Michelle was still the innocent girl.

If this kept going, he really might not be able to control himself.
