Only you in my love

Chapter 806 She Is My Girlfriend

Michelle's cheeks flushed a bright red from the alcohol, and her eyes shone like clear water. If one

looked closely enough, they would be able to see the mixed expressions of the people reflected in her

eyes.

Truly, the expressions of the people sitting at the table were as varied as the food choices in a buffet.

The calmest ones were John and Nina, since they already knew about this. Henry was far from calm,

but managed to keep himself together, albeit barely. Just now, when he watched as Michelle downed

that bottle of wine, he sort of guessed, but he didn't know for sure until now. Out of habit, his hand shot

up and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

On the contrary, Adrian was absolutely flabbergasted. "What? You two..."

It never would've crossed his mind that Michelle and Leon were together. How could he say it? They

didn't look like a couple at all.

It was not that he felt that Michelle was not good enough for him, but rather, from an objective

viewpoint, the two were not a good match.

Michelle was a girl in need of protection, while Leon needed a woman who would fight by his side.

Adrian's jaw practically hit the floor.

"What the hell..." In a complete daze, James ended up swearing in front of the children. When he

snapped back to his senses, he immediately clamped one palm onto his mouth, and said to the two

children, "You didn't learn that from me, okay?"

Then, he faced the adults again with a bewildered expression.

"Emma, did you hear that just now? Mimi said that Uncle Leon is her boyfriend."

Emma, who was always the wise and calm one, was suddenly quite dull. "What?"

She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

'Michelle is with Uncle Leon? It's like a dream, '

she thought.

James repeated himself. "Mimi said Uncle Leon is her boyfriend, and he didn't refute. But he didn't

confirm, either."

Hearing this, Leon immediately chimed in. "She is my girlfriend. But we've only been together a short

while, which is why we hadn't told you all yet."

A wide smile was plastered on his handsome face. He gently turned his head to look at the drunk girl,

who was blinking her innocent big eyes, as if she had no clue what she had just done.

He squeezed her hand affectionately.

He had been wondering when she would make their relationship public. Just now, he had playfully

asked her to introduce him as her boyfriend, but he wasn't joking.

He didn't know why, but he had felt a sense of dread that she would slip away from him, like she did

three years earlier. That was why he was hoping she would announce their relationship, so that

everyone would watch out for her.

The truth was, he hadn't felt secure in the relationship yet.

But now that their relationship was made public, both of them would feel more secure.

He had never felt more relieved in his life than in this moment.

He felt proud. With so many people watching, Michelle introduced him to everyone as her boyfriend.

His uncontrollable excitement burned like a flame, spreading all over his body.

Don turned around and looked at Van thoughtfully. "What does Aunt Michelle mean by saying that

Uncle Leon is her boyfriend?"

"It means they're together now," Van explained seriously. "Just like Dad and Mom, they will always be

together, and they will get married in the future and have children."

"Wow! She's our aunt now!" Don applauded happily.

They two children began to clap and chant happily. "We have an aunt! We have an aunt!"

The happiness of the children was so simple, so innocent. It was a different story for the adults,

however.

"Aunt? Are we supposed to address her as...?" James' voice trailed off. Suddenly, he recalled how

three years ago, Leon declared he would raise Michelle's seniority in the family.

He looked at Leon in disbelief. "Uncle Leon, you said a couple of years ago that you would raise

Michelle's seniority, not by taking her as your sister..."

His voice trailed off once more. He found himself unable to continue.

And he still couldn't accept it. If Michelle married Leon in the future, James would have to call her Aunt

Michelle, like Van and Don did.

A cousin turned into an aunt...

He shuddered at the thought.

Leon continued, "I wanted her to be my girlfriend, not my sister. I already have a sister, and I don't need

another one."

"Then why did you say you treated her as your sister?" James asked bitterly.

Leon raised his eyebrows innocently. "Well, I did treat her as my sister in the beginning."

"I see." James looked at his wife and found that she was still in a daze. He slipped his arm around her

and pulled her closer. "Don't worry. We just need to call Mimi our aunt from now on. It's not a big deal.

Uncle John is only seven years older than us. Aunt Nina's my age, and she's one year younger than

you. It's not a big deal to call Mimi our aunt."

Despite his sound reasoning, Emma was still rendered speechless.

She took a moment to gather her thoughts. Finally, she said, "Actually, I don't think we need to call her

our aunt. Mimi is my cousin, so Uncle Leon will be our cousin-in-law."

"So we can just call him Leon?" James asked.

"Yes." Emma nodded.

Leon frowned slightly.

It turned out that these two people just didn't want call Michelle their aunt.

When Michelle got drunk, she didn't cry or make any noises.

Her eyes looked sleepy, and it looked like she was going to doze off any second now. Seeing this, Leon

bent down to pick her up in his arms. She nestled in his chest, as though she was looking for a NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

comfortable position to sleep.

With her eyes closed and her body curled into a ball, she looked like a docile rabbit.

It was comfortable to hold her in his arms.

"You guys continue to enjoy the dinner. I'll send her to bed first." Leon looked at the woman in his arms

tenderly.

Everyone at the dinner table watched the two leave.

In their eyes, it was like watching a couple enter a bridal chamber.

Outside, it was already dark.

Snowflakes floated in the sky like pieces of cotton, landing delicately on Leon's hair and shoulders.

It was the first snow in Lexingport City.

Lowering his head, Leon said softly to the woman in his arms, "Mimi, it's snowing."

Although he kept his voice down, the woman in his arms stirred a little.

Her eyes opened sleepily just as a snowflake landed on her face, melting slowly and trickling down her

cheek.

"Leon..." Michelle's drunken eyes tried to focus on his face, but then she shifted her gaze to the sky

above him. The snow illuminated the night sky. She grinned suddenly. "Leon, look! It's snowing!

It's really snowing, Leon!" She was so excited that her two legs started to wiggle midair.

Leon steadied his grip on her body and said, "Yes, yes, it's snowing. Now go back to sleep."

"Okay." It seemed Michelle was even more obedient when she was drunk. She settled down and

nestled herself against his chest once more.

After a while, she woke up again.

She found herself being tucked into bed by Leon, which confused her. Weren't they at the dinner party

just now? She looked at him questioningly.

"Don't look at me like that," Leon said in a hoarse voice.

She didn't seem to hear him. In her eyes, the room was spinning, and she couldn't help but feel weak

and dizzy.

Her head was heavy, too. She wanted to lift it, but she barely got her head off the pillow. So she

reached up and wrapped her arms around Leon's neck.

"Leon, sleep."

With her petite hands pressing against the back of Leon's neck, he shuddered at her touch and his

body tensed up.

"Mimi, don't be naughty. Go to sleep."

Leon painstakingly pried her hands off him and tucked her in once more.

Michelle moved to the side of the bed and patted the empty spot next to her. "Leon, sleep," she said

again.

Her eyes were bright and pitiful, reflecting the light of the moon streaming in through the windows.

How could any man resist such a lovely woman?

Snowflakes fell silently outside. Leon sat at the edge of the bed and asked seriously, "Mimi, do you

want me to sleep with you?"
