You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 896 Turned Out To Be Her Daughter

Michelle didn't quite catch the implied meaning. She answered seriously, "Just so so."

"Well, fair enough." Leon took a deep breath and pressed his anger down, "I'm going to take a shower now."

Hearing the sound of water slashing in the shower room, Michelle soon fell asleep, with her phone lying in her hand.

Leon stepped out of the shower, wiped his hair as he walked. Seeing that she was asleep, he even breathed quietly so that he wouldn't accidentally wake her up.

He bent down and picked up the phone from her hand. The screen was still on, and the screen showed the interface of her alarm clock setting.

There were about ten alarm clocks set.

Leon was rather speechless.

He even saw that she had set the alarm clock at six o'clock in the morning, as if she was really ready to sneak back to her room in the morning.

Amused by her behaviour, Leon couldn't help but curled up his lips. She did him a favour as now he didn't need to set the alarm clock himself.

He knew for a fact that she liked to sleep late, and the alarm clock was usually useless for her. He had already planned to take her back personally in the morning.

With a faith smile on his face, Leon kindly put her phone on the table, put her exposed hand back under the blanket and carefully tucked her better. Then he stood up and walked to the window.

She was asleep now and if he used a hair dryer, he might wake her up from her sweet dreams.

However, if his hair was still wet when he went to bed, he would probably have a headache on the second day, which would also affect her.

Leon stood by the window, letting the wind blow his hair dry. It didn't take long until his hair was completely dry. He walked back to the bed, circled the sleeping girl into his arms and went to sleep as well.

With something in her heart, she usually couldn't sleep well. In her dream, Michelle dreamed that she was caught by her mother.

Before the alarm clock rang, Michelle woke up with fear.

It was still early in the morning.

The man next to her was still sleeping.

Leon usually lifted up his hair upwards and fixed it with a little hair gel. His hair was always arranged meticulously. Now without the hair gel, his slightly long hair was soft and drooping over his forehead, making him look like a little boy in need of care.

Michelle stared at his peaceful face obsessively for a while, then she got out of bed quietly and picked up her phone. It was only half past five.

Her mother usually got up at six o'clock in summer and half past six in winter.

It was still early. She couldn't bump into her if she went out now.

When she opened the door, there was a slight squeak. Michelle instantly got scared and didn't dare to move an inch. She looked back at the person on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief when she

saw him still sound asleep.

She tiptoed out and gently closed the door behind her.

Just then, she heard some noise not far away from her. Michelle turned around and saw her mother open her door and came out sleepily.

The two looked at each other and were both shocked.

Michelle was speechless.

'Am I still in my dream?' she gasped silently in her heart.

On the other hand, Elaine was totally stunned.

'Am I dizzy or what? What did I just see?' she thought to herself confusedly.

Elaine unbelievably looked at her daughter and then looked at the door where her daughter sneaked out. It was obviously the guest room.

She couldn't believe that her daughter had sneaked out of the guest room. So she had gone to Leon's room last night?

'It is hard to guard against a thief when the thief lives with you, ' she thought unpleasantly.

It came to her as a big shock that her daughter turned out to be the one who sneaked into other man's room.

The thought made Elaine really ashamed, but she didn't have the heart to scold her daughter in the face. With a gloomy face, she walked over and glared at her angrily.

It was not a dream!

She was really caught by her mother!

Seeing that her mother went downstairs, Michelle quickly followed her with a guilty conscience. Scared and worried, she didn't dare to go back to her own room to catch up on sleep.

She followed her mother step by step and whispered, "Mom, you get up so early today."

Without even looking at her, Elaine snorted angrily and went to the kitchen to get a basket of vegetables.

"Let me help you with it, Mom," Michelle smiled courteously and reached for the basket.

After all, her daughter was the apple of her eye. How could she be willing to ignore her all the time? Elaine finally said, "I'm going to the market to buy more stuff."

"Mom, I'll go with you." To show her determination, Michelle swiftly walked towards the gate without her mother's reply.

The pajamas she was wearing were winter style, with a thick layer of fleece in between and a hat. It wouldn't be cold even if she went out in the early morning just wearing her pyjamas.

The two went to the market.

He didn't hear the sound of the alarm clock, Leon woke up naturally. The place beside him was cold and no one was there.

He quickly checked the time and it was seven o'clock in the morning already. No wonder she had long gone.

Deep down, Leon was a little surprised. How come the sleepy girl got up so early? She must be really scared of her mother.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help smiling.

When he got up and went downstairs, he happened to meet his father-in-law who was going out for morning exercise. He greeted him warmly and Adams said, "Mimi and her mother have gone to the market. We shall have breakfast once they return."

Leon was rather surprised at the news, he murmured, "They went to the market together? When did they leave?"

"About six o'clock."

"Really? Six o'clock!" Leon was wondering if she had bumped into her mother at that hour.

"Dad, where is the market exactly? I'll pick them up."

"They drove there. They are almost back."

Leon had to wait by the door, like a puppy waiting eagerly for his master. As expected, the mother and the daughter came back very shortly. They were holding hands and talking about something as they stepped in. It could be seen from the smiles on their faces that they were in a good mood.

Leon quickly walked over and took the heavy shopping from Michelle's hands.

Today's breakfast was very rich. Michelle was full and walked back and forth in the living room to digest.

Elaine suddenly asked, "The wedding will be held in C Mansion, is that correct?"

"Yes, there is an open space, very wide. It's suitable for the wedding ceremony," replied Leon.

Elaine nodded slightly. It seemed that she was just asking briefly about the wedding. What she really cared about was where exactly they were going to live after the wedding.

"What about your room? Have you decorated your wedding room?" Before they could answer, Elaine continued sharply, "It's only two months till the wedding. You have to prepare for it well in advance. Mimi has to go to work in the daytime, and you have only night time and weekends to decorate the room."

Hearing this, Leon seemed to have guessed what she was up to and looked in the direction of Michelle.

Elaine also looked at her daughter and asked, "Mimi, didn't you say that the wedding room should be decorated by yourself? Although you are going to live on C Island for a long time in the future, C Mansion is also a home for you. Mimi, you and Leon can live there. I think it would be nice that you two go and get used to it in advance and arrange the wedding room yourself."

By now, Leon was sure that Michelle had bumped into her mother this morning when she sneaked out of the room.

His mother-in-law was so reasonable that he had no way to repay her but nod along earnestly.

"Mom, you are absolutely right," he grinned. His smiled was quite imperceptible but he was really proud in the heart.

Later that afternoon, Elaine helped her daughter packing up her luggage. Adams looked at them and said, "You two are both busy, so you certainly don't have time to cook. Come back here for dinner often." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Yes, the food outside is not as good as that at home. It also costs money to hire someone to cook for you." Elaine added, she looked at her daughter affectionately, not willing to depart with her.

Of course, Leon didn't lack the money to hire top chefs. He could hire a dozen of Michelin star chefs if he wanted to. He was sure that they would make suitable food for Michelle.

However, he could well understand why his in-laws said so, it was only because they just wanted their daughter to visit them often and have a meal at home.

After they got married, they would come back home less often, let alone once they lived on C Island permanently. It would be good if they could come back for dinner once a year.

Michelle and Leon knew what the parents were thinking. Leon smiled and replied sincerely, "I shall pick her up from work every day and come back here for dinner."

Elaine was satisfied with his answer, she smiled at him, "You should dine with us as well, of course."

Leon nodded, "Definitely."

"Well, can I order dishes then?" Michelle blinked her eyes playfully.

Elaine gently poked her forehead and laughed, "You're asking for more."

It sounded like she was scolding her but she was truly happy in her heart.

Michelle giggled and held her mother's hand tightly, "Mom, you agreed. Thank you! You are the best."

"Eh hem." Feeling ignored by them, Adams made some noise to attract their attention.

"Dad is also the best. I have the best dad and mom in the world." Michelle chuckled heartedly as she quickly walked over and hugged her father.

"Well, it is getting late. You can go now. Your mother and I won't drive you there."

"Okay, Dad. We will come back for dinner every day."

Elaine didn't pack much for Michelle, only a small suitcase. If she took all of her belongings away, Elaine would feel empty at home and that would make her extremely sad.

Charles had been waiting at the entrance of the neighbourhood for a long time.

The car drove steadily towards C Mansion. Charles felt that there was one thing that he had to report to Leon.

He opened his mouth seriously, "Leon, I went to the airport to pick up Michelle yesterday and I saw a gangster stalking her."

Leon was stunned by his sudden words.

When he was about to explain, Michelle nodded heavily and added, "That's right! If it weren't for Charles's good driving skill, we would have been in big trouble."

Charles continued, "It was a man. I suspect that he is after your wife. Leon, you should find him out as soon as possible and get rid of him!"

Leon smiled faintly and said, "That was me."

His answer really surprised the other two.

Inside the car, there was an awkward silence.
