Only you in my love

Chapter 804 Drink A Little

The four of them left the study. They saw James chasing after Don. Infectious laughter filled the living

room.

Van relayed to Michelle and Emma the fight in the kindergarten and proposed some solutions.

Although he was still quite young and not yet eloquent enough to express his thoughts clearly, his

independent thinking couldn't be ignored, which was something even some adults lacked.

Leon, who overheard the conversation, smiled and gave Van an encouraging thumbs-up sign.

"I caught you!"

James caught up to Don and held him up in his arms. "Well, your parents are done with their business.

It's dinner time!"

"Let's eat!" Don chirped happily.

Michelle whispered, "Emma, it's obvious that James is fond of the kids. When will you two have a

baby?"

"In a few years," Emma answered. She smiled as her eyes landed on James. "He likes playing with

Don and Van. But if he had to take care of a baby every day, I'm sure he'd go crazy."

"Oh, alright." Michelle smiled.

"How about you? When will you get a boyfriend?" Emma asked, turning the question around.

Michelle was obviously taken aback. "Boyfriend?" she echoed dumbly.

The truth was, she did have a boyfriend.

And he was in the living room.

But she didn't want others to know yet.

She cast a furtive glance at Leon, who was busy chatting with Van, and couldn't help smiling. Worried

they'd be found out, she sheepishly lowered her head.

Sensing her gaze, Leon turned his head and saw her smiling happily with her head down.

"What's up?" Leon asked, smiling with one eyebrow raised.

Flustered, Michelle shook her head, but she couldn't wipe the smile off her face.

She was just so giddy and happy, knowing Leon was her boyfriend and that he liked her.

She couldn't hide her emotions at all.

"I was just asking her when she'll get a boyfriend. I don't know why she's smiling to herself," Emma

answered for her. Then, it suddenly dawned on her. Turning back to Michelle, she asked, "Is there

someone you like? That must be why you're so happy!"

This time, Michelle made no attempt to hide it. Her head bobbed up and down in confirmation.

"Is that so?" Emma was overjoyed and didn't ask further questions. Instead, she just smiled at Michelle

knowingly and said, "I'm looking forward to meeting him someday."

"I'll introduce you to him, don't worry." Michelle shyly glanced at Leon. When their eyes met, she quickly

averted her gaze, flustered.

'Are you so afraid of being found out?' Leon wondered, bemused. Aloud, he asked playfully, "Michelle,

when will you find a boyfriend and introduce him to us?"

If it were anybody else, it was a harmless question. However, as Michelle's boyfriend, Leon's words

must've meant something else.

Michelle figured that he wanted her to announce that they were a couple.

"Very soon!" she answered immediately.

"Oh?" Leon poked fun at her. "How soon? Now?"

"Now?" Michelle was shocked. She wasn't ready to let the cat out of the bag.

Emma patted Michelle on the shoulder reassuringly. "Uncle Leon is just joking. Anyway, time to eat!"

"Well, alright then," Michelle said uncertainly. She snuck a nervous glance at Leon, her bright, beautiful

eyes glistening.

'Leon, I'm sorry.

Give me some time to mentally prepare myself, ' she pleaded internally.

Because he'd known Michelle for so long, Leon could almost read her mind.

His gaze softened and he said gently, "I'm just kidding."

Michelle took a deep breath. "Thank you, Leon," she said sincerely.

"Mimi, I call him Uncle Leon, but you just call him his name. It's weird," Emma pointed out.

"Is it?" Michelle didn't feel weird at all, especially since she had been addressing Leon in this way since

the beginning. However, she did feel weird about Emma addressing her boyfriend as her uncle.

"Emma, it feels weird to me, too, when you call him Uncle Leon."

Emma nodded. "We are cousins, but now I feel like we're not in the same generation."

"You're right." Michelle nodded. What Emma said made sense.

Michelle's seniority seemed to be raised.

A sense of familiarity surged up in her mind, but Michelle did not go deep into it.

Everyone poured into the dining room, eager to feast on dinner.

Six adults and two children were seated at the table.

The North Yard was really lively tonight!

In celebration of Michelle's being discharged from the hospital, they popped open a bottle of

champagne and made a toast in her honor. Even the little ones, Van and Don, held up their juice boxes

and wished Michelle a long and healthy life.

Michelle, moved by their words, clinked her glass against their juice boxes.

She wasn't fond of drinking, but at the sight of everyone else raising their glass and drinking merrily,

she felt a sense of longing for alcohol. Even the kids were slurping up their juice greedily, which made

her shift her gaze longingly towards the wine bottle on the table.

Leon was seated two chairs away from Michelle, with James and Emma sitting in between them.

However, he had secretly been watching her out of the corner of his eye.

This would explain why Michelle's evident curiosity in wine didn't escape him. He cleared his throat and

said to her, "You can't drink."

Nina thought he was talking to her at first. However, when she looked at him, she saw that his eyes

were fixed on Michelle.

She couldn't remember when it had started, but she realized that Leon had been paying more attention

to Michelle than her.

She felt somewhat jealous. But when she saw the interaction between the two, she felt truly happy for

them.

It was not often she saw two people in love.

Leon's gaze was gentle, and Michelle was pouting and blinking her eyes. She looked like a stubborn

child that was being told off.

This seemed to soften Leon's heart. He sighed and made a compromise. "Fine. Have just a little."

Michelle beamed at him. "Okay! Just a little." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Nina smiled to herself. Sometimes, even she couldn't stand it when Michelle begged with her pleading

eyes, let alone Leon.

Even though the two hadn't made their relationship public, they already began to show off. Nina

couldn't help but just chuckle at the two.

She raised her glass to John, who was seated beside her, and said, "John, have a drink. But just a

little."

Leon looked at her sharply.

Why was she copying him?

Michelle lowered her head in shyness.

She realized that Nina was making fun of her, but why would she? Did Nina know about them?

Her heart skipped a beat at the thought.

Michelle's hand reached out, picked up a glass of wine, and brought it to her lips. She gulped down

almost half of its contents, which stunned the two children.

Nina had a low tolerance for alcohol, so she and John rarely drank at home. Van and Don had never

seen anyone down a glass of wine before.

But Michelle seemed to be fine after drinking it.

Actually, it seemed to brighten her mood even more.

The alcohol helped calm Michelle down. She believed there was no possible way Nina knew about

their relationship. After all, she had hidden it well.

Nina was still holding her glass. John calmly picked up his own glass and smiled. "Alright, just a little."

"Okay! Just a little."

Upon hearing them talk, Michelle blushed.

Leon coughed awkwardly.

It was obvious that John and Nina were making fun of them.
