Chapter 798 Leon Is My Boyfriend
Chapter 798 Leon Is My Boyfriend
The four of them looked at each other.
Leon's eyes dimmed as his gaze swept over the two figures who were so close. His expression soon
darkened.
Caroline immediately stepped back, raising her hands as if to show her innocence. She remained silent
the whole time.
Her gut was telling her that a fight would be coming soon.
If that happened, it was best to stay away from them.
From the corner of his eye, Tim saw that Caroline was already retreating.
'This woman is indeed very cunning. She's already planning to escape.
But it's okay. She doesn't matter anymore. In fact, I should even thank her. If we hadn't quarreled and
pushed each other, Michelle wouldn't have ended up in my arms.'
Indeed, this was the first time that Tim had gotten this close to Michelle since they met.
He couldn't help but feel a little greedy. He didn't want to ever let go of this girl in his arms.
He tightened his arms around her as he stared straight at Leon challengingly.
"Leon!" Michelle sounded happy to see Leon. She tried to push Tim away so that she could reach out
to him, but Tim wouldn't let go. In the end, she fell back into his arms again.
The dark expression on Leon's face disappeared as soon as he watched her struggle in Tim's arms. He
strode over to them and easily pulled them apart. Without warning, he bent over and picked her up.
Michelle squealed as soon as she found herself swept up from her feet. Her arms quickly wrapped
themselves around Leon's neck.
Her heart was pounding so fast against her chest.
"Leon..."
This was the first time that he had hugged her publicly in front of others.
It was such an intimate gesture that she couldn't help but feel a little shy.
She blushed as she glanced quickly at Tim and Caroline.
Leon smiled as he took note of her reddening face. He said, "This isn't the first time I've hugged you.
So what's with the blush?"
"Leon! Cut it out!"
Michelle glared at him.
"Michelle has always been shy around others." Laughter burst out from Leon's mouth as he looked
back at Tim. He tried to remain polite as he did so.
"Thank you for helping her just now."
Apparently, Tim's efforts were all in vain.
"No problem at all," Tim said, keeping a neutral expression on his face.
"Thank you very much." Leon smiled. "We are very grateful to Tim, right? So why don't you go ahead
and thank him for you helping you, Michelle?"
Tucked around his arms, Michelle obediently nodded her head. She grinned and said, "Thank you very
much!"
"Thank you," Leon said again.
Upon uttering those two words, it was as if a tumultuous river gushed forth between them, widening the
gap that separated Tim from the two.
He didn't want their gratitude. He even hated how polite Michelle was behaving towards him. It was as
if she only saw him as an outsider.
It didn't help that Leon was thanking him as well. It felt like the other man was really rubbing it into his
face that they were a couple.
"I'll gladly accept her thanks, but there's no need for you to thank me, Leon," Tim said coldly. "I helped
her after all. Not you."
"What's the difference?" Leon asked with a smile.
Tim answered, "You're obviously not her, so it has nothing to do with you."
"Is that so?" The smile on Leon's face widened. There was a sly glint in his eyes as he leaned closer to
Michelle. "What do you think about that, Michelle? Do we have nothing to do with each other?"
The two men were trying to be subtle with their minor competition, but she was no fool. Just by listening
to them, she could already sense their hostility towards each other.
She didn't realized that Tim had feelings for her. She just thought that the two were having problems
with each other. Leon had told her to stay away from Tim.
And like the obedient girl that she was, she had kept her distance from Tim.
While she didn't really understand what they were fighting about, she would always take on Leon's
side.
Leon's business was her own, and her business was his.
That was the very nature of their relationship. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Raising her head to look at Leon, she smiled sweetly at him before turning to look at Tim and Caroline.
"It is true. Leon and I are very close. In fact, let me formally introduce you to my boyfriend, Leon."
She punctuated her sentence with a dazzling smile.
The words that she had long ago buried in her heart were finally out in the open.
Ever since she had learned that Leon liked her back, she wanted to shout to the world that they were in
love. But she never had the chance to do so.
While Nina and Emma had visited her, she was afraid that they might object to her relationship with
Leon.
So the two of them decided to delay their announcement and wait for a better opportunity to reveal the
truth.
But with Tim and Caroline, she felt like she could tell them first.
She felt comfortable introducing Leon as her boyfriend to them.
Nonetheless, she couldn't resist the nervous and excited flutter at the pit of her stomach.
Leon was also feeling a bit strange. At first, he was surprised at Michelle's sudden announcement. But
later on, his eyes held the same excitement that she was feeling. His ambers eyes seemed brighter
and clearer as they shone with happiness.
He wasn't expecting her to announce their relationship in public. His hands trembled a bit, but he tried
to stand still.
He didn't expect that she would announce their relationship since the three-month period hadn't ended
yet. And yet, she did.
These were the most beautiful words that had ever come out of her mouth.
She had publicly announced their relationship.
Leon's heart was soaring. He was smiling so widely, and his eyes were getting a bit teary. He didn't
care about the two other people in front of them. He lowered his head and planted a chaste kiss on
Michelle's forehead.
The contact was so light and gentle that it was almost like a dragonfly skimming through the water's
surface.
It was such a tender gesture.
As he pulled away, he said softly, "Yes, I am your boyfriend."
"Yes!" Michelle smiled again. "You are my boyfriend."
Caroline was so shocked by the revelation that it took some time for her to recover. Eventually, she
could clearly see the affection blooming between the happy couple.
Silence hanged over them for a moment.
"Congratulations!" Finally, Caroline gave her best wishes to the couple with a smile. She then glanced
at the man beside her, noting the look of disappointment on his face.
Tim remained speechless.
It took him a while before saying, "You're welcome. I'm glad to help her."
By accepting Leon's gratitude, he was also acknowledging the other man's relationship with Michelle.
He had no choice but to give way.
Michelle was the one who personally announced their romantic relationship. If it was just Leon, Tim
would still have a little hope.
But it was clear that Michelle liked Leon very much. Until now, he never really noticed just how fond she
was of the other man. But looking back on it, she always talked about him.
Meanwhile, Leon was still overjoyed at Michelle's announcement. He didn't care about his competition
with Tim anymore. He could only smile and let happiness wash over him.
Tim soon left after bidding his goodbye to the couple. Caroline followed him eventually.
"Tim." She called out to him.
But he completely ignored her, not even bothering to wait for her to get into the elevator with him.
She didn't seem to be in a hurry to reach the elevator, though. In fact, she only stood there by the door,
peering through the gap to stare at his impassive face. Even from a distance, she could see the
sadness beneath his eyes.
As the doors were closing, she shouted, "Don't forget to contact me. You have my business card in
your pocket."
Finally, the elevator doors closed.
