Only you in my love

Chapter 815 Objection

Elaine's hands, which were holding a plate of fruits, started to tremble. At a loss, she took a hesitant

step forward, then a resolute step backward.

She was not equipped to deal with this situation.

If she knocked on the door and walked in, everyone would be embarrassed. She tried to think of what

to say if she did walk in, but then she found that she was too shocked and her mind drew a total blank.

She didn't want to break up a couple, especially if it meant interfering with her daughter's happiness.

But never in her wildest dreams would she have expected that her daughter had fallen in love with

Leon.

How noble Leon was! He was the prince of C Island and was on the cusp of inheriting the throne.

His noble status was something that their family couldn't ever hope to match.

Leon had always said he viewed them as family, but that was just because he was polite and modest.

Even so, they had never forgotten his status in society.

Elaine had an inkling that her daughter had fallen in love with someone, but she initially thought it was

Tim who moved in next door. Evidently, she had misunderstood their relationship.

But now that she was thinking about it, she realized how Leon had always sent them strawberries and

gifts during festivals over the past three years, although he himself never showed up personally.

He only ever frequented them when Michelle was home.

Also, her daughter often talked about Leon. Every time she looked at him, her eyes lit up. Apparently,

there had been clues everywhere.

They just never dared to entertain the idea.

No one would have thought that the prince of C Island would fall in love with an ordinary girl.

It only took one girl, Nina, to connect the two people.

But now, look how far they'd come!

Too flustered to function, Elaine quietly retreated downstairs.

Hearing her approaching footsteps, Adams looked up and found the plate of fruits in her hands

untouched. "Didn't they eat any?"

Elaine shook her head absentmindedly.

"Just forget it!" Only then did Adams notice that she was as pale as a ghost. He quickly got up and

walked up to her, his face creased with worry. He took the plate of fruits from her and asked, "What

happened? Did you catch a cold?"

Elaine shook her head slowly and sank into her seat dejectedly. She sighed softly, as though she was

exhausted.

'How could this be?

How did Michelle fall in love with Leon?'

The two of them weren't kids anymore. This wasn't just some puppy love.

As her mind raced, Elaine's frown deepened.

"What happened? Does it have anything to do with our daughter?" Adams sat down next to her,

accidentally squashing his phone in his back pocket. He shifted his weight, pulling his phone out from

under him.

Only then did he find out that he had over a dozen new messages.

Elaine, noticing her husband's flashing phone, raised her head and asked, "Who is texting you? Did

something happen at the research institute? Take care of it first."

"It's Baylor." Adams frowned.

Something was wrong.

"What happened?" Elaine asked. "Baylor and his wife live in their daughter and son-in-law's house,

don't they? They have rented the house to Tim. I think they will be celebrating the New Year with them

this year."

Adams sighed. "His daughter Crystal hasn't been doing well recently. Baylor told me she's been under

a lot of pressure, tending to a lot of social activities daily. Two days ago, Baylor heard his daughter and

son-in-law quarreling in secret. When they confronted them about it, Crystal just smiled and said they

were fine. But Baylor could see that Crystal's eyes were red and swollen from crying. It broke his heart.

Baylor said that there are many rules his son-in-law's family. He hasn't seen Crystal smile in a very long

time. He felt sorry for her, but he didn't know how to help her. His son-in-law is even busier with his

social engagements." Adams let out another heavy sigh.

He didn't need to explain what happened next; Elaine understood immediately.

"It is hard when two people from different classes fall in love. Each class has its own way of life." His

last words made Elaine's body go stiff. She quickly picked up the plate of fruits and started bounding for

the stairs.

From behind her, Adams said loudly, "It doesn't matter if they don't want to eat."

But Elaine just ignored him

She dashed up the stairs, making sure her slippers slapped against the floor noisily to announce her

approach.

When she reached Michelle's door, she knocked loudly.

"Mom?" Michelle, clutching three thick notebooks, turned towards the door.

Leon, who was standing next to Michelle, turned around and greeted her.

"Well..." Elaine plastered a smile on her face.

Leon, unaware that their relationship was discovered, wondered why she was acting strange.

His heart raced anxiously.

He couldn't tell why, but he had a bad feeling about this.

Elaine, with that strange smile plastered on her face, said to her daughter, "Michelle, your dad washed

these fruits for you. I'll put them on the table."

"Thanks, Mom." Michelle picked up a grape from the plate and popped it into her mouth. Then she

picked up the plate and offered the fruits to her mother, who shook her head. Then, Michelle offered the

fruits to Leon.

"Let me have some." Leon took the plate of fruit from her and ate a grape, too.

Elaine asked, "Michelle, have you found the things you were looking for? If you have, just give them to

Leon. It's getting late. He still needs to go home and rest.

Leon, you must have a lot of work to do every day."

Leon nodded and smiled. "Kind of."

The truth was, he didn't want to leave yet. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with his

girlfriend.

But he could also tell what his future mother-in-law was asking him to leave.

This could only mean one thing: she had figured out that he was in love with Michelle.

And it seemed his future mother-in-law was very against their relationship.

It was a bad sign.

He figured it'd be better if he left. That would give him more time to think on how to solve this problem.

"Michelle, give them me. It's time for me to go home." Leon glanced at the notebooks in Michelle's

hands and then looked up at her, urging her to listen.

Michelle frowned slightly and handed the notebooks to him reluctantly.

Originally, she only wanted to give him the last notebook because her handwriting had improved at that

time. However, Leon insisted on taking all of them. If she refused, he threatened to kiss her.

In the end, he kept kissing her until she conceded.

Just then, an idea occurred to Michelle and she looked at Leon slyly. Her fingers reached out and

grabbed at a corner of the notebooks, playfully yanking at them to prevent him from taking them away.

Leon quickly caught on and started tugging from his end, countering Michelle's pull.

It was officially a tug of war, and the whole time, they never broke eye contact.

'Leon, could you just take one?'

'No.'

'Please, Leon.'

'No.'

'Please, the handwriting of the first two notebooks is bad!'

Michelle coquettishly batted her eyelashes at him.

Infuriated, Elaine was at a loss.

The two had the audacity to flirt before her very eyes!

And from the looks of it, it was her own daughter that had taken the initiative.

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and put her foot down. "How about you give them to me, so that NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

you two don't have to fight over them."

In her shock, Michelle quickly let go of the notebooks.

She would rather give them to Leon than to her mother.

Leon would, at most, dislike her ugly writing. On the other hand, she hated to think what her mother

would think if she got her hands on them.

Leon triumphantly held up the three notebooks in one hand while he held the gift box with the tie in the

other.

"Thank you, Michelle."

Michelle tried to pout but couldn't help but smile timidly. "You're welcome. Leon, are you leaving now?

I'll see you off."

"Okay." Leon looked at her dotingly.

When the two were about to head out, Elaine stopped her daughter. "Michelle, wait. Can I have a

word?"

Michelle cocked her head to the side and asked, "Okay, after I see Leon out."

"I'm in a hurry." Despite the cryptic words, Elaine's true message was clear as day.
