You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 690 Froze

Debra felt completely defeated and waved her hand helplessly. "That's it. I won't teach you anything tonight. Let's talk again after you buy the orchid."

"What if she forgets all your instructions when she meets Leon?" asked Lydia, who was stretching now.

Debra pondered for a moment and then said, "You're right. Michelle, I'll come with you when you send Leon the flower. I can help you then." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Good idea!" Lydia praised.

Michelle nodded blankly, seemingly still in a daze. "Okay."

"Okay? Do you understand what we're talking about?" What happened at the restaurant had been a thorn in Debra's heart. She felt guilty towards Michelle, so she tried to make up by taking care of her more. "Don't agree to everything so quickly. If we sell you to someone else, are you okay with that too?"

The question snapped Michelle out of her daze. She sprang up from her seat and said, "I'm not a foul. I won't get sold."

"But I'm really worried you'll get sold by Leon. You do whatever he says." Debra poked Michelle's forehead in exasperation. The force was enough to cause Michelle to stumble backward. Fortunately, there was a table behind her, which prevented her from losing her footing.

The sight of this gave Debra quite the fright. She quickly reached out to stop Michelle from falling, but she found that Michelle soon steadied herself. Upon seeing that Michelle was okay, she smiled and continued to tease her.

"What if Leon wants to sell you? Will you agree?"

Michelle gave her a cunning smile and replied, "After he gets the money from selling me, I'll run away. This way, I'll be safe and he'll get the money."

"Tsk! Tsk!" Debra shook her head.

"Have you noticed that she becomes particularly smart whenever Leon's involved?" Lydia lay on the bed, turned around, and leaned her legs against the wall. "If she really gets cheated by Leon, it must be because she's willing to."

"He won't do that to me. He's not such a person!" Michelle snorted and pouted in protest.

Her sulking appearance caused the other two to burst into laughter.

Michelle put her hands on her lips and glared at them. When they finished laughing, she said, "Debra, you must never tell anyone that I like Leon. Keep it a secret. Well, you can tell Rainy, but don't say anything to Wynn, okay? I know you're friends on WeChat. He and Leon are good friends. If he knows, Leon will definitely know too."

"Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret until you confess your feelings to him," Debra promised.

"Thank you, Debra." Michelle smiled, revealing her teeth, which made her look incredibly cute.

At that moment, Debra's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from her brother. She picked it up and went to the balcony. After more than ten minutes, she walked back into the room, staring at the phone in her hand and mumbling, "How could it be him?"

Once she sat back in her seat, she looked at Michelle. "Michelle, my brother said that the owner of the lotus-petal-shaped orchids is Colby from the business management department who's also from the same year as us. I have his WeChat contact. He once transferred a large sum of money to me to get your WeChat contact."

"Colby?" Lydia, who'd just washed her hair in the sink, walked out of the bathroom. Water was still dripping from the tip of her hair. "If my memory serves me right, he has a good relationship with Austin."

"What?" Debra cast a sideways glance at Lydia. "Since he knows Austin, why did he try to get Michelle's contact through me instead of him?"

Michelle, who was now sitting on the bed with her bed, tilted her head and watched their banter in silence.

"What do you think?" Lydia stopped wiping her hair.

Upon seeing Lydia's meaningful gaze, Debra immediately understood the matter. Austin liked Michelle, so he must be unwilling to share her contact with someone else, even if the other party was a good friend of his.

Lydia liked Austin, but Austin liked Michelle. This was really an absurd love triangle. In fact, if Debra had the choice, she didn't want to know so much.

"Maybe it's because he has too much money. Anyway, he's a rich heir," Debra said perfunctorily.

Lydia continued to wipe her hair after she heard what Debra said, but she seemed to be lost in thoughts.

The moment she looked up, her eyes happened to meet Michelle's bewildered ones. She was so shocked that her hands shook.

Debra was also startled. They'd forgotten Michelle!

Neither of them dared to tell Michelle about the love triangle, so they kind of felt guilty.

"Well, Michelle, I'll give you his WeChat contact. You can add him as your friend and ask him about the orchids." Debra quickly changed the topic and gave Michelle Colby's WeChat contact.

Michelle picked up her phone and sent a friend request, explaining her purpose in the additional information column.

Colby accepted Michelle's friend request in mere seconds.

He had tried to add Michelle on WeChat before, but she ignored the friend request.

The moment the friend request was accepted, several messages were sent from Colby in a row. Obviously, he was a natural chatterbox, which made a talkative person like Michelle seem like a quiet beauty.

Almost half an hour later, Lydia, who saw that Michelle was still chatting with Colby, asked with concern, "How's the progress? Is he willing to sell the orchids to you?"

Michelle said, "I've just asked him. He said he only has a pink one left. The other one has been bought by someone else. I'm buying the pink one. I like pink."

"Buy it then." Lydia pulled her thin quilt over her body and closed her eyes, ready to sleep. "It must be expensive, right? If your money isn't enough, I still have some in my bank account."

"No, keep your money for yourself, Lydia. If Michelle's money isn't enough, I will lend mine to her," Debra said in a sleepy voice.

"Don't worry. I have enough money. It'll cost me fifty-six grand to buy the orchid. Even after the purchase, I'll still have more than twenty grand left." Michelle quickly scheduled an appointment with Colby.

He said that he'd fly abroad at ten o'clock tomorrow morning and come back about half a month later. Because of that, they agreed to meet tomorrow morning and discuss the sale during breakfast.

Michelle was so happy she managed to buy the orchid. She even forgot the embarrassment she experienced last night and sent a voice message to Leon before she went to bed.

"Good night, Leon. Have a good dream tonight."

The girl's soft, sweet voice floated into Leon's ears. He was lying on his side in the bed, staring at the phone in his hand. The voice transmitted from the phone tickled his ears. It was as if the girl was now lying in his arms and whispering softly.

That "good night" seemed to be stuck in his heart.

His heart was thumping madly, and a shiver ran down his spine.

Exasperated, he quickly threw his phone away.

He was afraid that instead of having a good dream, he might have that sort of adult dream tonight.

The moment that thought flashed in his mind, he froze.

He was really going out of his mind.
