Only you in my love

Chapter 699 I Will Support You Forever

It was already noon when Leon got out of the taxi. He stood on the path made of small stones, which

gleamed under the sunlight. On his left, there were rows of shops close to each other that sold different

delicacies, while on his right, there were willows trees providing shade.

As he walked towards the restaurant, he could already smell the mouthwatering food. When Leon

opened the door, a soft voice greeted him. "Welcome!"

She was welcomed by a young girl around fourteen or fifteen behind the cashier's desk. Beside her,

there was an expressionless man. She looked timid, but tried to make herself look calm.

When Leon turned his head, he saw a glint of surprise on the expressionless man's face. Then, he

heard the girl greet Leon again. "Nina!"

The mention of her name shocked Leon. He was about to ask if they knew his sister, but the

expressionless man interrupted before he could.

"I'm sorry. She took you for your sister." Ford shot a meaningful look towards Evelyn. She lowered her

head and apologized, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Leon answered with a faint smile. "Leon, over here!" Debra called out.

As he walked over to where Michelle was sitting, he overheard Ford and Evelyn talking with each other.

"Ford, he looks a lot like Nina," Evelyn whispered.

"He's Nina's brother."

"Oh, that's why.

When will Nina come back? And what about Noah?" Evelyn asked again.

"They'll be back soon," Ford said and looked at Leon.

Since Leon appeared in Lexingport City, that meant John and Nina were about to come back.

The restaurant was located in a quiet place and only had a few customers. There was only one waiter

who served Michelle and her friends.

"Leon, take a seat. I have a gift for you," Michelle said. She was so excited she couldn't wait for Leon to

sit down.

Looking at the pink orchid made her so happy. What more if Leon saw it?

"Gift?" Leon asked as he sat down. "Is it the food on the table?"

He looked at the dishes before him, and indeed, they were mouth-watering. He couldn't wait to taste

them.

"No." Michelle shook her head and smiled mysteriously. She turned around and took out a paper bag

from the back of her chair. She placed it on the table and pushed it towards Leon. "Here, open it and

see for yourself."

"It looks heavy. What is it? It seems mysterious." Leon touched the paper bag, and felt what was inside

was a pot.

"Michelle, is this a pot of flowers?" Leon pulled the bag closer to him and peeked inside. There, he saw

an orchid with pink buds that hadn't bloomed yet.

Despite that, it still looked very beautiful.

It was one of his favorite orchids!

'How does she know that I like orchids? And this is a lotus-petal-shaped orchid!' Even though this

wasn't a top-grade orchid, it was still very expensive. It must've cost more than ten thousand dollars.

Leon felt conflicted and didn't know how to feel upon receiving this.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it, Leon?" The look on his face flustered Michelle.

"I like it. I like it very much." Leon flashed a big smile. He carefully picked up the bag with both hands

and placed it under the table. "I really like it. Thank you, Michelle. This is the second best gift I've

received this year."

"I'm glad you liked it, Leon." The sincerity in his eyes made Michelle grin from ear to ear.

However, Debra noticed something with Leon's words.

"Leon, if this is the second best gift, then what's the first best gift you've received this year?" Debra

asked casually. "Who sent it to you? Can you tell us, Leon?"

"Yes, of course." He looked at Michelle and smiled. "It was a gift from Michelle on Children's Day."

"So it's also a gift from Michelle." Debra sighed in relief. "I'm so envious. Michelle, what did you give

him?"

"A shaver." "Shaver?

Is it the same electric shaver you bought for a few thousand dollars last time? Wow! I remember you

worked multiple part-time jobs to earn that money. You saved around five or six thousand dollars back NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

then, and then the money was gone. I wanted to stop you but couldn't. Who knew that gift was for

Leon!"

Michelle grabbed Debra's wrist and gave it a tight squeeze.

However, Leon looked keenly at Debra and motioned for her to continue.

Debra pretended to not under Michelle and continued, "This pot of orchid took you a lot of effort too!

You were supposed to get this half a month ago, but then it got delayed. Michelle, you waited for more

than two hours outside the community where Colby lives this morning to buy the orchid, right?"

"Yes." Michelle was confused. 'I'm sure I told Debra about this.'

"Oh, and you spent sixty thousand dollars for this pot of orchid, right?" Debra asked again.

Michelle became even more confused. "No. It's fifty-eight thousand dollars to be exact."

She narrowed her eyes and frowned at Debra. "Are you okay? Did you hit your head? I told you

already."

Debra didn't know what else to say.

'You dummy! You're the one who's out of your mind!

You're so awesome when playing games, but in reality, you're an idiot.

I said these words to let Leon know.

Why is Michelle so dense?' She felt embarrassed for herself.

However, Leon was smart enough to know what Debra was trying to do.

Seeing Leon's interested expression, Debra continued, "Really? It's so hot outside it's making me dizzy.

That's why I remembered it wrong. It's not sixty thousand dollars, but fifty-eight. It's two-thirds of

Michelle's savings. She's almost out of money after buying the gift for you. Poor girl! Leon, she's so

good to you. I won't exert so much effort for my brother. I will only do it for my boyfriend."

Debra was trying to say something.

Leon caught on with what Debra was saying. He turned to Michelle and heard her say, "But I'm willing

to exert effort for Leon, even though he's not my boyfriend."

Debra smacked her palm to her forehead. Not knowing what else to say, she picked up her glass of

water and drank from it.

Leon knew what was going on. He smiled and glanced at Michelle's innocent face.

'She really treats me as her brother, ' he thought.

"Michelle, I'll support you forever," Leon said.

When the words escaped his mouth, the world around them seemed to stop spinning.

Michelle opened her mouth in surprise. She wanted to say something but her mind couldn't come up

with the words to speak. Instead, she covered her mouth and tried to hide the joy in her eyes.

Leon's words felt like music in her ears, which almost made her heart melt.
