You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 696 Sleep With Him

Michelle held the flowerpot in her arm and played with the green leaves. "Thank you, Colby. I'll transfer the money to you right now."

Before she could transfer the money via her phone, Colby stopped him. "No, just take it as a gift for you."

"I can't accept it," Michelle insisted. "Besides, I bought this gift is for Leon."

For Colby, the money wasn't that big of a deal. "Imagine it as my gift to Leon, then."

"But this is my gift for Leon." Michelle looked up at him with her deep dark eyes. "You are not a friend of Leon. Why would you send him the orchid?"

Colby didn't know what to say.

Michelle made such a good point, and he didn't know what to tell her.

"Alright. I've already transferred the money to you. Please check if you've got it." Colby was still trapped in his daydream that he wasn't able to stop Michelle from transferring the money.

Since she got the orchid, Michelle left. She carried the orchid like her own baby and hummed a sweet tune on her way.

Colby wanted to drive her home, but realized the car keys weren't with him. When he got the car keys, Michelle was already far away. He was about to chase after her when someone behind stopped him.

It was Aurora, Colby's mother. She was an elegantly dressed woman.

"Colby! Normally, I would turn a blind eye to your drinking and flirting with women. But now you're actually playing with a minor!"

"Huh?" Colby scratched his head. "Mom, what are you talking about? Where did you see a minor? Your son's not crazy!"

"Humph! When Hassan told me, I didn't believe it at first. But I saw her go out of our house!" Hassan was the guard of the community. Aurora placed her hand on her temple and shook her head. "Did you do anything to her? She's still so young. She even smiled at me when she met me at the door. Did you...?"

Aurora ran out of words. When he finally understood what her mother was trying to say, Colby smiled.

"Mom, I'm not that kind of person," he said. "She just looks like a child but we're actually in the same university!"

Aurora was stunned but exhaled a sigh of relief. "So...not a minor?"

"Of course not." Colby raised his right hand and swore, "I'm not lying to you. She's twenty-one years old. If you don't believe me, ask Austin! She's Austin's classmate."

Growing up, Austin wasn't close to his family but was close to Colby's. As years went by, he became a handsome young man and a straight-A student. Everyone in Colby's family liked him. When they were kids, Colby used to bully Austin, but they became close friends when they became older.

Since Aurora trusted Austin, the very mention of his name assured her. Then, she thought of the girl who greeted her by the door and felt sorry for her. 'Why is she connected with my son?'

"Colby, you're not young anymore. Be good to her, and don't hurt her!" Aurora glared at him. She knew what her son was like so she had to remind him in advance.

"Mom, do you like the daughter-in-law I picked for you this time?" Colby asked casually.

"Not bad. Your taste in women has been improving." Aurora shooed him away and egged him to leave. "Go! Don't let that girl go back by herself."

"Bye, Mom!" Colby left with a smile on his face.

After walking for a while, he saw Michelle at the community's gate. Colby was about to call her name when he saw a red convertible park in front of her.

The car's window rolled down, and sat in the driver's seat was Debra, taking off her sunglasses. "Michelle, get in the car," she said.

Colby helplessly watched as Michelle got into someone else's car.

"Hey Colby," Debra greeted him with a smile when she saw him.

Colby frowned. He walked over towards the car and asked, "Why are you here? Isn't your dad's company busy? Why are you driving the car and wandering around?"

"Why do I feel that you're angry? Did I do something to you?" Debra placed her hand on the steering wheel. "Besides, weren't you the one wandering around without going to your dad's company? You even went abroad."

"Our company has my brother," Colby said.

"We have my brother, too," Debra replied with a smile. "No wonder they're good friends. Well, it's been nice talking to you. Michelle, sit down. Let's go."

"Okay." Michelle fastened her seat belt and waved to Colby. "Goodbye, Colby!"

"Okay, bye." Although Colby sounded defeated, he still managed to force a smile in front of Michelle.

During the summer, riding a convertible was refreshing.

"Where's your date with Leon going to be?" Debra asked.

"Date?" Michelle turned to look at Debra and blushed. "We're not dating!"

"I'm sorry. Where are you going to meet?" Debra corrected. "Or are you planning to surprise him? Have you told him that you asked for leave from the club?"

"Yes." Michelle pursed her lips. "I told him as soon as I left the club. I was so happy at that time. I shouldn't have told him so that I could give him a surprise. We'll have lunch near the Fly Hotel."

"Hotel?" Debra glanced at Michelle and looked back on the road straight ahead. "You just bought an orchid worth around fifty to sixty thousand dollars. How do you have enough money left to have lunch in a hotel?

Wait. Are you going to sleep with him?"

It was Rainy who first thought of the idea, but the others didn't agree with her. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Now, Debra also thought it was a good idea. If she were Michelle, she would go through it. But imagining Michelle trying to do it made her chuckle.

Michelle blushed and snorted. "Next to Fly Hotel, there's a nice restaurant. All of their dishes are authentic local cuisine, and they taste delicious. I've always wanted to take Leon there, but I never had the time."

"Okay." Debra pouted her lips. "But how did you find such a hidden restaurant?"

"Nini has taken me there before. That's where I met this beautiful girl, Evelyn. She should already be in her first year of high school this year. Nini said that Evelyn has autism, but I think she's fine. I like her as though she's my sister." Michelle had always wanted to have a sibling.

Her parents were scientists, and she was the only child in her family. Since most of their work was top-secret, it was rare for them to go outside and mingle with other people. Right now, Adams and Elaine hadn't been home for almost a year. Usually, they would just go back during festivals, but couldn't stay too long.

Before Michelle went to high school, her parents had always accompanied her. But since then, they had devoted so much time to their research that they didn't have time for her anymore.

Although her cousin, Emma, was around, Michelle still wanted to have a sibling. When she was young, she wanted a sibling so bad she would shake her parents' arms and urge them to give birth to a baby boy.

However, her parents had abandoned their careers for more than ten years in order to raise her. Now that she was all grown up, they went back to their careers and focused the rest of their energy there. They became so busy with work that it was impossible for them to give Michelle a sibling.

When Michelle first met Leon, she treated him as the brother she never had. But as time went on, she failed to control her desires for him.

And when she met Evelyn, Michelle forgot her brotherly feelings towards Leon.
