You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 740 Where's My Aunt

Leon couldn't help but approach Michelle, who was like a frightened rabbit.

As he walked forward, Michelle subconsciously took a couple of steps until she felt a cold wall behind her. In front of her was a man with a scalding hot body looming over her, as his intoxicating scent made its way up to her nostrils.

With nowhere to go, she stood still and looked up at him.

"Michelle, do you have any intentions or not?" Leon couldn't stop himself from teasing her. He peeled a piece of orange and rubbed it against her lips. "Open your mouth and let me know if this orange I peeled tastes sweeter."

Their bodies stood so close together that Michelle could feel Leon's hot breath swept to her face and blow her hair upwards. It made her body feel hot inside as different scenarios started to flash in her mind. Slowly, Michelle pried her mouth open, submitting to Leon's request. She took in half of the orange, with the remainder protruding out of her mouth.

"Why won't you eat it? Do you want me to eat the other half?" Leon asked. His tone became more playful with each word he spoke. His sly smile made him even more attractive.

The closer he inched towards her, the redder her cheeks grew.

She sucked the whole orange into her mouth and swallowed it. Then, she lowered her head and placed the remaining three oranges she was holding into his arms. "Thanks for the orange, Leon. Bye!" she said hurriedly and ran away.

A faint smile broke on his face as he held the three oranges and stared at Michelle's figure.

He felt proud for being able to make her blush.

It was an indication that she saw him not only as her brother but as a man.

Then, he saw Michelle turn back and was now running towards him.

When she reached him, she caught her breath and asked, "Leon, will you go home with your parents tomorrow? I forgot to ask."

"No," Leon answered firmly. 'Michelle's not yet my girlfriend. I really don't wanna go back home a single man.'

She smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. Bye, Leon."

Then, she turned around and started running away again.

But compared to her initial sprint earlier, her pace now was slower.

Even then, she was still fast enough to the point that Leon couldn't stop her.

The next day, Bruce and Anne were headed back to C Island. A group of people, including Bryant and Valerie, were standing in a line, waiting to see them off.

Michelle remembered what Nina told her and followed what she said. She didn't talk to Valerie even though the two stood together.

Before she checked in, Anne asked her son again, "You really won't come home with us?"

"I wanna stay here a little bit longer," Leon replied. He glanced in Michelle's direction and shifted his eyes back to his mother.

Anne followed where his son looked and saw Valerie. She frowned.

"You haven't given up on her yet?"

"You misunderstood me. Well, you can go ahead. Let me know once you've landed safely," Leon said with a smile.

"Okay," Anne replied softly.

From where she was standing, Michelle couldn't hear what Leon and his mom were talking about. But she did notice that Leon glanced at her direction while they were talking, followed by his mom. When Leon looked at her direction, she wasn't sure whether he was looking at her or Valerie. But she was certain that his mom cast a glance at Valerie.

Michelle felt dejected.

That afternoon, John and Nina decided to enjoy their honeymoon in advance without the children. Before they left, John sent a message to Leon and asked him to pick up his children from the kindergarten. Unaware of what her husband did, Nina sent a same message to Michelle. She asked her to drive her children back to Stone Road.

So when Leon and Michelle saw each other at the gate of the kindergarten, they were both surprised.

"Michelle, are you here to pick up Van and Don?"

"Yes. Are you here to pick them up too?"

'Finally! Nini and his husband did something good,' he thought. With a smile, he said, "I came here to pick you up after you pick up the children."

Michelle tilted her head and felt something suspicious about what Leon had said. But since she couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly, she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. "Okay."

Both of them stood together by the gate, waiting for the children to come out.

The kindergarten where Van and Don were studying was called the Star Kindergarten. It was only a normal kindergarten. Nina sent them there because she wanted her children to grow up like ordinary people. When the bell rang, many children started to rush out of the classroom. Behind them were Van and Don, who were slowly packing their schoolbags.

The teacher approached the two brothers and said, "Vance, Donald, your father called us. He said that he and your mother have something to take care of. So today, your uncle came to pick you up from school."

"I see. Thank you," Van said politely. He adjusted the straps of his brother's bag and helped him put it on.

As the teacher looked at the two little handsome identical boys, she couldn't help but admire their good genes.

"Be careful on your way home!" she reminded them as she waved her hands goodbye to the children.

Outside the classroom, a boy and a girl were waiting for them.

During his first day at kindergarten, Don made friends with these two kids.

The girl was called Eileen, who had her hair braided with a plastic flower tying her hair.

The boy was Kian, who was stronger and taller than his peers.

Kian kept calling Don his boss because Don had shown his fighting skills in front of him.

But since he couldn't tell Van and Don apart, he ended up calling both of them his boss.

"Boss, is your uncle going to pick you up today?" Kian said as he walked. "Eileen's uncle always picks her up."

"That's because I live in my grandma's house, and my parents aren't here," Eileen explained. Then, she turned to the brothers. "Are you also living in your grandma's house?"

"No. We live in our own house," Don answered. "But our uncle's currently living with us, and our daddy and mommy aren't home. That's why he's the one coming here to pick us up."

When they were about to reach the gate, Van saw his uncle, who stood out in the crowd.

As soon as the bell rang, signifying that school was over, the gate of the kindergarten would be flooded by many people. Since Leon was tall and slender, it was easy for the brothers to replace him.

In contrast, Michelle's petite figure almost made her disappear amidst the crowd.

"Don." Van pulled his brother's sleeve and pointed at the tall man outside the gate. "It's Uncle Leon."

When Leon saw the two brothers, he waved his hand to them and smiled.

A woman standing next to Leon called out to Eileen. "My aunt is coming here to pick me up. I'm leaving now. Bye!" Eileen said as she ran to the gate.

"Bye." Kian waved at her.

"Bye," Van and Don echoed.

The woman held Eileen and left. Out of nowhere, Kian said, "Eileen has an aunt. But I don't."

"Neither do we. Why don't you have an aunt?" Don tilted his head and asked Kian.

Kian scratched his head and giggled.

"That's because I don't have an uncle."

"Why don't I have an aunt?" Don pondered deeply about this question. After some time, he still couldn't replace an adequate explanation. He turned to his brother and asked, "Van, why don't we have an aunt?" Even though Van had read a lot of books, he still couldn't answer his brother's question. "You can ask Uncle Leon. I'm sure he knows why."

"Oh, okay!" Don rushed to Leon and held his leg. He raised his head and asked," Uncle Leon, why don't I have an aunt? Eileen has an aunt, but my brother and I don't."

Before Leon could catch his breath and answer, Don added, "Uncle Leon, where's my aunt?"☐☐☐☐
