You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 734 Fall Into Leon's Arms

When she heard that Leon was sick, Michelle grew anxious.

"Helen, how is Leon? Is it serious? Did he go to the hospital?"

Her string of questions made everyone else nervous. "Maybe it's not that serious," Bruce answered, unconvinced of what he just said.

"He seldom gets sick. Maybe he stayed up late last night," Anne said. "He just needs to sleep with a thick blanket covering him. When he wakes up, he'll be fine. Van, Don, eat your breakfast. Don't worry so much about your uncle; he'll be fine."

"Okay, Grandma," the boys answered in unison.

They continued eating their breakfast. Meanwhile, Michelle was still worried.

Berry, who was sitting next to Michelle, noticed the expression on Michelle's face. "Are you worried about Leon? If you are, you can go see him in person right after eating breakfast."

Michelle shook her head. "I don't dare."

"Why not?" Berry was surprised. "Don't you treat him as your brother? I see that Leon treats you really well."

"Yes, Leon's very kind to me." Michelle couldn't deny it. But that was only because he only saw her as his sister. "I shouldn't be alone with Leon."

Berry rubbed her chin. "Are you afraid that he'll ask you again why you went abroad?"

"Yes," Michelle answered. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

That was not the main reason.

She was afraid that Leon would ask her why she went abroad. But more than that, she was scared that if she were in the same room as him, she wouldn't be able to control herself and would show her affection towards him.

Three years ago, she could still control herself. But now, she was no longer sure if she still had it in her to restrain herself.

She missed Leon so much.

Seeing that Michelle had made up her mind, Berry sighed. "Oh well. I'll go with you after we're done eating breakfast."

"Really?" Michelle's eyes widened, and her face lit up. "Thank you, Berry!"

Berry raised her eyebrows. "You're welcome."

Don noticed that the two were whispering something to each other. He leaned closer to Berry and quietly asked her, "Aunt Berry, what are you talking about with Michelle? Can you tell me?"

Berry smiled and patted his head. She pouted her lips and ask him, "Why do you call her Michelle and call me Aunt Berry?"

"Chester and Dora both call her Michelle. So I call her Michelle too as they do," Don explained.

Berry cast a glance at him. "You're Don, right? Van calls her Aunt Michelle. Why don't you call her Aunt Michelle just like your brother does?"

Michelle leaned forward and smiled at Don. "It doesn't matter. You can call me Michelle or Aunt Michelle. You're all my little babies."

Van, who was silent the whole time, began to persuade his brother. "Let's call her Aunt Michelle. Mom said we should call her that. So did Uncle Leon."

'Really? Leon said that?' Michelle thought.

"If that's the case, then from now on, you can only call me Aunt Michelle. You can no longer call me Michelle," she said to the little boys.

"Okay, Aunt Michelle." Don pouted unhappily and sulked. "But calling you Michelle makes you sound younger."

"Oh my God! Don, you're so sweet," Berry cried proudly. Even though he was still very young, he was already such a sweet talker.

"I want to be a hero so that I can protect my mom and brother." Don raised his chin proudly.

Michelle was still unaware that Nina was weak because of the virus in her body. "Are you sure it's you who'll protect your mommy and not the other way around? Your mommy's really good at fighting."

Van and Don tilted their heads at her and looked at her strangely.

Berry immediately explained in a low voice, "Nina has never shown her fighting skills in front of her children. She only shows them how smart she is. Since John is with them, she never saw the need to show off her fighting skills. He has spoiled her a lot."

Michelle's eyes grew wider in shock.

"It's hard to imagine, right?" Whenever Berry thought about how Nina and John loved each other, she would feel goose bumps crawl all over her body. She didn't like that she was jealous of them. "Mimi, you'll also meet such a person in the future."

Berry also wanted to meet someone who loved her wholeheartedly.

However, with her identity on C Island, she was afraid that such a scenario would never happen in her life. She could only dream of having a husband who would shower her with affection while their children were playing around them.

Even fantasizing about it hurt her, so it was better not to think about it at all.

But whenever she did think about it, Noah's face would always flash in her mind.

Meanwhile, Michelle ate her porridge in silence.

Once they were done eating, Don wrapped his arms around Michelle's legs. "Aunt Michelle, where are you going? I want to play with you."

"We won't be playing. We'll be seeing your uncle." Michelle stroked the child's soft hair.

Disappointed, Don loosened his grip on Michelle's legs. "Oh, you're not going to play."

"I'm going to see Uncle Leon too," Van said as he held his brother's hand. "Uncle Leon is sick. Let's go see him together."

"I don't want to!" Don turned around and crossed his arms.

Van began to coax him in a sweet voice, "Don't be angry with Uncle Leon. He didn't mean to do that, and he already apologized to you. Can you stop being angry with him?"

"No way! I'm angry!" Don threw himself on the sofa and pouted his lips.

Aside from the servants, there were only four of them left in the living room.

Michelle was confused why Don was suddenly so angry. "Did Leon do something to him?"

"Yes," Berry said helplessly. "Even though it's been half a year since then, he still remembers it.

It was Van and Don's birthday. Unfortunately, Leon wasn't able to make it. Leon had already arrived in C Island that day. But as soon as he got off the plane, he boarded another plane to go abroad. Van and Don waited for him for almost a week before he came back."

She watched as Van tried to convince his brother to forgive Leon. "As you can see, Van is a sensible child. When Leon apologized to him, he immediately forgave him. However, Don has been angry at him ever since."

"Leon loves Don and Van very much. I'm sure he had something urgent to do at that time, which was why he did that," Although Michelle felt sorry for the children, she still wanted to defend Leon and make them see him in a good light.

"I think so." Berry paused for a while. "I heard from Nina that he was looking for someone very important to him. But I didn't know who exactly that person was. It seemed that he only got the news that day and flew abroad as soon as he knew. But in the end, he failed. What an unlucky man!"

Hearing Berry's story, Michelle felt sorry for Leon.

Meanwhile, Van was still busy trying to persuade his brother. "Let's go there secretly and have a look. Uncle will not see us."

"Okay. Just one look. Don't let Uncle know. I still don't want to see him." Don raised his chin stubbornly.

Van chuckled and said, "Okay."

"Let's go." Don sprang up the sofa and walked forward.

Van followed him from behind. Between the two, it was actually Don who cared most about his uncle.

"Didn't you say you'd only look at him in secret? Why are you walking ahead?" Michelle was also worried about Leon, so she followed them quickly.

Berry clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Tsk tsk. Stubborn Don."

When they arrived at Leon's room, Don raised his hand and knocked on his door. Immediately after, he ran behind Van to hide himself, with only half of his head poking above his brother's shoulder.

They waited for a while, but no one opened the door.

Michelle became even more worried and frowned. She walked up to the door and knocked three times.

"Leon, are you okay?"

Still, nobody opened the door. Berry was now starting to feel worried. "Is he seriously ill?"

When Berry said that, Michelle started to panic. "Leon! Are you okay? Please make a sound."

She knocked again and again, with the next knock sounding louder than the last.

After a while, the door opened.

Michelle's hand, which was about to slap the door, missed and she fell into Leon's arms.
