You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 805 Declaration



Chapter 805 Declaration

Nina took a small sip from her glass. Thinking of something, she chuckled.

She clinked glasses with John and asked sweetly, "Would you like some more?"

John frowned slightly; he didn't want her to drink too much.

Nina raised her chin slightly, and her gaze darted to his glass, indicating that John should pick up the glass. He caught the hint, obediently picked up his glass, and repeated himself. "Just a little."

But this time, Nina changed her lines.

She licked her lips and batted her eyelashes at him helplessly. "Why is it you again?"

After saying that, she smiled at him meaningfully.

John then instantly understood where she was getting at.

The second time they met, Nina posed that very same question. "Why is it you again?"

And then after that, they met again and again.

Now they saw each other every day. She was on his mind every second of the day, even in his dreams.

Finally, John couldn't keep a straight face and burst into a bright smile. "My little girl," he said softly.

The two of them stared into each other's eyes lovingly as they sipped from their wine glasses.

Adrian slammed his chopsticks onto the table, raised his glass and said to Henry, "Let's have cross- cupped wine."

Henry's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

The others shifted their gazes towards the two.

"What's wrong?" Adrian sneered. "Are you saying the only ones who can be lovey-dovey in this house are John and Nina?"

"No," James said. "Go ahead."

Henry, caught between a rock and a hard place, had no choice but to do as Adrian said. Perhaps it was because the others' eyes were fixed on them that Adrian felt pressured.

He choked and spat out the wine, spraying it onto Henry's face.

Henry blinked in shock, his face dripping with wine.

Why did he have to have such a weird boyfriend?

The awkward silence was immediately broken by James' hearty laughter. And just like that, the others collapsed into heaps of helpless giggles.

"I didn't mean it," Adrian apologized sheepishly. Fortunately, a servant saw what had happened and immediately handed Henry a clean towel.

Henry accepted it graciously and wiped his face with it. Swallowing his anger, he forced a smile. "It's fine."

But the look in his eyes said otherwise.

Adrian sat upright, looking perturbed. James then asked with a smile, "Adrian, do you want me to buy some instant noodles for you?"

"No way!" Adrian's expression darkened and he pursed his lips in annoyance.

Everyone who knew about the inside joke burst into laughter again.

Michelle, on the other hand, whispered, "Emma, why does Adrian need instant noodles?"

"There is a story behind it," Emma whispered and told her what had happened before.

Michelle was stunned for a while. Then, she exclaimed, "Wow, you're so smart! Can I try it, too?"

Leon's eyebrows twitched.

"Okay. But you have to get a boyfriend first," Emma said with a wink. "We haven't tried it, though. So we don't know how it works."

"It's good whether the instant noodles are broken or not." Michelle's eyes lit up excitedly. "If they break into pieces, I can just eat them. If they are not broke, I can boil them."

Leon heaved a sigh of relief.

His girlfriend really was different from the others. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

And he was more than happy to have a girlfriend as unique as her.

The others were at a loss whether to cry or to laugh when they heard this. In between peals of laughter, Adrian said, "You need to have a boyfriend first. Do you need me to introduce you to some men?"

As he spoke, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind, sending a shiver down his spine. Trembling slightly, he nudged Henry with his elbow. "Are you cold?"

"No. Are you?" When he saw Henry's perplexed face, the cold gust of wind disappeared just as quickly as it came.

Then James looked at Michelle and continued the conversation. "How about I arrange a blind date party for you?"

This time, it was James who felt a chill all of a sudden.

Michelle shook her head and refused, "No, thanks."

"Mimi has someone she likes," Emma explained, and James nodded.

It seemed the topic was unwilling to die, because then James turned to Leon and asked, "Uncle Leon, you don't have a girlfriend, do you? You never admitted that Miss Feng was your girlfriend. How about we arrange a blind date for you instead?"

The people at the table had grown very familiar with each other. Adrian was no longer as afraid of Leon as he was a few years ago, and was now very bold.

"I think that's a great idea! Many girls in Lexingport City are beautiful and have good family backgrounds. Although they are not as noble as the ladies on C Island, on the whole, they should be good enough for you.

What's your type of girl? Tell me and I'll find you some girls. Then, you can choose whomever you like!"

James was also very pumped. "I'll help you, too. See? Uncle John has a wife from C Island. And you can also have a wife from Lexingport City."

Their eyes were fixed on Leon.

Only John and Nina had knowing looks on their faces. They observed quietly as this scene unfolded with smiles. Michelle, on the other hand, pouted and looked at Leon helplessly. The others held their breath, waiting for Leon's answer.

Leon glanced around and then his gaze landed on Michelle. With a wide smile, he announced, "You're right.

I should have a wife from Lexingport city and take her back to C Island." Flustered, Michelle's cheeks turned a deep red.

In the past, when she had no inkling that Leon liked her, she would've hesitated and wondered who Leon was talking about.

But now that she knew, she was more confident in herself.

She was sure Leon was talking about her.

But wasn't he being too obvious?

Michelle lowered her gaze, her eyelashes trembling slightly, which betrayed her nervous happiness.

Leon basically admitted that he was thinking about their future together.

Now that Leon made it clear that he wanted to take her back to C Island, did this mean she needed to introduce him as her boyfriend to everyone?

But she really wasn't ready to spill the beans yet.

Michelle was so conflicted that she quietly took a bottle of wine and hid it.

However, she wasn't as subtle as she thought she was. Two people sitting across her caught her in the act, so she held up her finger to her lips, asking that they keep quiet.

Although Leon was looking at Michelle, the people at the table thought he was looking at James.

Even James himself misunderstood. In his eyes, Leon was approving him of his suggestion. Pursuing the topic, he asked, "Uncle Leon, what kind of woman are you into?"

James was leaning slightly to the right, while Emma, who was next to him, leaned to the left. The two inadvertently completely blocked Michelle's petite body from view.

Unable to see Michelle's figure past the shoulders of the two, Leon came up with a neat solution to his problem.

"Me?" He wore a meaningful smile. "Someone knows what kind of woman I like. Why not ask her?"

James thought he was referring to Nina, so he asked her, "Aunt Nina, what kind of woman does Uncle Leon like?"

"He isn't referring to me. Ask Mimi," Nina said, pretending to be jealous.

"Oh, right!" When James turned his head to ask the next woman, he was startled by what he saw.

While Michelle was clutching a wine bottle tightly, her cheeks were red. She let out a loud burp and the smell of wine wafted in the air.

Emma, who was closest to Michelle, frowned and grabbed the bottle. Shaking it in her hand, she found that it was nearly empty.

"Why did you drink it in secret?" Emma asked, helping her up.

"I didn't," Michelle slurred. Pointing at the people across her, she added, "The two of them saw I drink."

Henry and Adrian nodded. Adrian said, "She asked us not to tell you. I think she can hold her liquor well. Honestly, I admire her."

As he spoke, he recalled how Michelle gulped down the bottle of wine just now. He sighed, knowing he wasn't as good at drinking as her.

Leon went to her side to help her up, but to his surprise, Michelle threw herself into his arms. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she raised her head to look up at him.

Her eyes were slightly red, making her look particularly alluring.

"Leon, what kind of girl do you like?" she asked softly.

Leon was just about to get angry at her for drinking in secret, but the sight of her lovely eyes softened his heart.

"Don't you know already? Don't tell me you don't know."

"I know! You like me, and I like you, too." Michelle struggled to stand on her feet and burped again, but Leon didn't mind. He looked at her expectantly, as though he was waiting for her to say something more.

Sure enough, the drunkenness helped Michelle to overcome her cowardice. She took his hand and raised it proudly. Smiling, she announced, "Hello, everyone. Let me introduce my boyfriend to you. This is my boyfriend."
