Only you in my love

Chapter 837 Do Your Best For Me

Michelle subconsciously looked down at her own legs. She recalled that night when their bodies

intertwined in bed. Leon had said he liked her legs, too.

Ever since then, she had religiously applied lotion on her legs. Now, they were as smooth and supple

as a baby's buttocks.

There was no way she'd let him break her legs!

"Leon, I'll be good," Michelle said, sticking out her lower lip. "Leon, I'll listen to whatever you say.

But if you do fall in love with someone else one day..."

"Michelle." Leon interrupted her sternly. Michelle then held her breath. She knew she had said

something wrong.

But she knew that, if Leon did fall for another girl, she would let him go.

She was willing to do anything for his happiness.

"Michelle, I know what you were about to say." Leon sighed. "I can't fix your messy thoughts just yet,

but I will—someday. But whatever happens, Michelle, please do your best for me, okay?"

The obstruction in their relationship was clear to the two of them, but neither of them dared say it aloud.

Leon had thought that he could always protect Michelle.

However, if there was one thing Barbie had taught him, it was that he and Michelle needed to work

together to prepare her for the role she was about to play in his life.

Even if he wanted to be with her as soon as possible, she wasn't ready yet. They both needed to work

harder in order for their relationship to work out.

"Michelle, Nini will help us," Leon said gently. "It'll take time, though. You'll have to suffer a little."

However, Michelle misunderstood him;

she thought he was saying Nina would help correct her way of thinking.

Thus, she nodded obediently.

"Anyway, how come you've been suffering from insomnia?" Leon returned to his previous question.

Michelle swallowed nervously. She thought they had dropped the subject, but Leon was keen to find

out what was plaguing her mind. Seeing the concern in Leon's eyes, she decided to tell him the truth.

"Leon, I miss you so much. That's why I can't sleep properly."

Leon's heart fell. "But I didn't hang up the phone until you fell asleep!"

"I would fall asleep, but whenever you hung up, I'd wake up looking for you," Michelle admitted guiltily.

She lowered her head to gather her bearings, then raised her head again to look into Leon's eyes.

"Leon, am I too clingy? You're the first person I've ever fallen in love with, so I don't know how to do in a

relationship. Someone at work is also in a long-distance relationship, but she isn't like me. She's able to

sleep soundly at night.

Whenever I remember that you're far away, I start to miss you so much. Even talking on the phone isn't

enough. I just want to be with you every day. I hope you won't grow tired of me, Leon.

I can only fall asleep when you're there, talking to me—not because you're boring, but because I feel

safe when you're with me." Michelle's smile turned genuine and she seemed to be in a better mood.

This made Leon smile, too.

She continued, "I feel safe when you're with me. Even if I'm not saying anything, as long as the phone's

still connected and I know you're still there, I'll feel safe."

She smiled into the camera with bright, twinkling eyes.

Her love and longing for him was painfully obvious, which made him feel nice and warm.

"Michelle, I can't talk to you the whole night, but I can stay on the phone and mute my microphone. Will

you be able to sleep like that?" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

"I'll be fine as long as you don't hang up," she said, perking up instantly.

"Okay, great." Leon moved his phone a little further away.

With a wide smile, he raised his index finger and pointed it in the air, playfully pretending to poke

Michelle on the forehead.

This made Michelle so happy that tears started welling up in her eyes. She smiled, but didn't dare

make a sound. She was worried she'd burst into tears if she tried to say anything.

"Michelle, please don't cry. My heart will break when you cry."

Leon sighed helplessly.

Just then, Barbie knocked on his slightly-ajar door gently, only to find Leon smiling affectionately at his

phone. This scene stunned her. Leon only ever smiled at people out of politeness.

She knew there was only one person who could make him smile like this.

Barbie knocked again politely to alert Leon of her presence. When he looked up, he saw her waving a

document in her hand, indicating he needed to deal with something urgently.

From Michelle's point of view, when Leon raised his head, his neck and Adam's apple came into view.

In a daze, Michelle reached out to touch it, but then she quickly retracted her hand and looked for a

pen and paper instead.

When Leon looked down at his phone again, instead of seeing Michelle's fair face, he was greeted by a

white piece of paper.

Michelle held up the paper, on which she had quickly scrawled a few words. Leon squinted at her

handwriting, thinking it looked quite similar to his.

"Leon, you can go ahead and work. I'm going to have dinner."

Her handwriting was nice. She wanted to copy Leon's, but she had only successfully copied a few

words in his handwriting.

But the reason why she had chosen to write instead of speak was that she was worried it was

inappropriate for her to talk right now.

Of course, Leon understood this immediately. "Michelle, you have the freedom to speak here," he said

loudly enough for Barbie to hear. "You can say whatever's on your mind; I'll always be here for you."

Michelle nodded enthusiastically. Waving her hand good-bye, she smiled so brightly that her cute teeth

could be seen on camera, which made Leon chuckle.

"Enjoy your dinner." Finally, he reluctantly hung up the phone and turned to Barbie. "What is it?"

After the call, Michelle bounded down the stairs and headed straight for the dining room.

Helen had laid out dinner for her. The others were already done eating.

After dinner, Michelle went back to the living room to play with the kids.

But after a while, Nina showed up and cleared her throat. "Stop bothering your aunt, boys. I need to

talk to her."

The two brothers nodded obediently and ran off to play.

Michelle asked in confusion, "Nini, what is it?

You look so serious."

Nina asked, "Do you want to marry Leon?"

"Yes," she murmured shyly. "I do."

Nina's face suddenly grew very serious.

"Mimi, Leon has chosen you, and no one's going to change his mind. From now on, come to the North

Yard every Friday night. I will teach you things on weekends. I hope you will study hard, for Leon's

sake."

With a puzzled look on her face, Michelle asked, "What are you going to teach me?"

"A lot," Nina replied. "It'll be quite tiring."

If Michelle wanted to be a member of the royal family on C Island, she had a lot to learn.
