Only you in my love

"Don't you have to catch up on work? You just went on your honeymoon, after all. You don't have to accompany Nini all the time," Leon said to John.

Not wanting to give in, John looked at Leon coldly. "You asked my wife to come and meet with you in the evening."

He shook his head and sneered after speaking.

Watching the two men bump heads together, Nina was speechless.

"But Michelle is a good friend of Nini's. Shouldn't she be here?" Leon retorted.

With a clever smile on his lips, John looked as if he had an ace up his sleeve. "Nina's my wife. Wanting to protect her is a natural instinct for me. Besides, don't you know that a good husband should watch over his wife wherever she may go?

Oh, that's right, I forgot that you don't have a wife." Leon was fuming.

Meanwhile, Nina tried her best not to laugh.

Leon just stood there with his mouth hanging open.

The words sounded familiar to him.

Then he remembered how he said those exact same words to Wynn one time.

It was just sheer bad luck on his part that

those words would come back and bite him this time around. Although he couldn't think of any more ways of distracting Nina, he had to stop her from lifting the blanket covering his girlfriend. "Someone is already investigating the incident. It shouldn't be too long before he returns with more information. Why don't you just check her hands for any clues?"

"Leon," Nina's cold voice called out.

Leon raised his eyebrows innocently and asked, "What?"

"I feel like you are protecting your girlfriend."

'Huh?

Of course, I am,' he thought to himself.

In his whole life, Michelle was the only woman he ever truly loved.

She was the most precious person to him, and he was determined to protect her with his life.

But he could only keep those words to himself now. It pained him that he couldn't let the whole world know how much he loved Michelle.

Leon smiled and said, "I'd do the same for you if you get into trouble. Michelle is like a sister to me."

"Alright then." Though Nina still had her doubts, she went on and took Michelle's hand from under the blanket. She scanned her skin from the fingers up to her arm, looking for possible marks.

Despite her persistence, she found nothing.

Bryant appeared by the doorway.

Both Nina and Leon narrowed their eyes. They looked at each other, and they seemed to be thinking the same thing.

Not only did Nina and Leon look very similar, but they also had the same look on their faces at that moment.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, John took a magazine from the table and sat down. He shook it twice before flipping through the pages.

Closing the door behind him, Bryant went in to check on Michelle. She was in a coma, lying motionless in the bed.

Once inside, he approached Leon and Nina and apologized to them. "I'm sorry about all of this. Valerie pushed Michelle by accident. That's why it happened. But she did call an ambulance immediately. She didn't mean for any of this to happen. This was an accident. Since Michelle is in a coma, Valerie will personally apologize to her once she wakes up."

'Valerie?'

Nina was surprised to hear that Valerie was involved in the incident.

'What on earth could have possibly caused a conflict between the two of them?' Since Valerie was involved, Nina knew that this couldn't have been an accident.

However, the only possible link between Michelle and Valerie was her brother.

Without him, Michelle wouldn't even know who Valerie was, let alone have any business with her.

As if by instinct, Nina turned her eyes towards Leon.

While Leon's eyes appeared calm, no one could tell what he was thinking or feeling that very moment. Uneasily, Bryant stood still as Leon looked at him indifferently.

Nervous, he couldn't bear to look straight into Leon's eyes. But when their eyes finally met, it was as if Leon's gaze froze him still. He couldn't turn his eyes away even though he wanted to. Dealing with Leon is no simple task. Bryant knew that Valerie wouldn't be able to escape this situation. He knew that even after Michelle wakes up, Leon would still go after Valerie.

"I'm really sorry that this had to happen, Leon. I've already talked with Valerie, but you can talk to her too if you want. I do understand that she's the cause of all this," he said sincerely. After a while, Leon said, "Michelle needs to rest. Don't disturb her again. As for Valerie, you don't have to cover for her. I'll find out the truth for myself."

Now that Leon had said it himself, Bryant knew that it was time for him to leave the hospital.

Once their unwanted visitor left, Nina asked in confusion, "How did the two of them meet? I've always told Mimi that she had to avoid Valerie as much as she could." "Why does she have to avoid her? You didn't have to tell her that," Leon said calmly.

Glancing at her bother, Nina replied, "I've always been afraid that two of them would clash at some point. I just didn't want you to get mad at Michelle for making your beloved angry."

"Do you mean Valerie?" Leon looked at his sister with a strange look. When Nina nodded, he frowned slightly. "You think I still have feelings for Valerie?"

"I've heard a lot of rumors about the two of you. And to be honest, the rumors don't seem to be too far from the truth. Besides, I don't know any woman aside from Valerie that you're close to. I don't like her, but I will respect your wishes," Nina explained.

With a smile, Leon replied, "How can you tell that I'm not close to other women? Isn't Michelle close to me as well?"

Nina was confused.

"What are you even talking about?" Following his words closely, she felt that she was onto something. However, the idea seemed so unlikely that she couldn't imagine it happening.

'Could Leon and Mimi be a couple?'

She had never thought that it could be possible.

In the past, Michelle had told her that she wanted a boyfriend as good-looking as Leon. But the two of them had never shown any kind of intimacy in front of her. And they also treated each other as brother and sister.

She hadn't seen Michelle for three or four years. Meanwhile, Leon had been in Lexingport City for more than three years.

'Could it really be possible? The two of them? Oh my God!'

She then turned her gaze to her brother, looking for any signs of confirmation. However, Leon just smiled back at her.

The suspicion grew in her heart.

It was not until John's hand enveloped her waist and tickled her with fingers that Nina came to her senses. "John, did you hear that?" she asked.

"Yes." Near the bedside table, Leon pulled up a chair and sat down. Once seated, he unlocked his phone and just browsed mindlessly. He knew that he couldn't show any intimacy, so he just tried to keep himself busy.

Meanwhile, John observed him carefully. He then turned to look at Nina in his arms and asked, "Hey, do you remember what Van said when we got back from our honeymoon?"

They had to cut their honeymoon short and return home halfway through. As a mother, it was natural for Nina to be concerned after what had happened to Van.

The first thing she did when they got back home was to check on her little boy. She held Van tightly in her arms and applied medicine to his hand.

That day, Van smiled happily and said to her in an adorable voice, "I love you, Mommy."

But what her child said that day definitely rang a bell. "Mommy, you smell so nice. Do you have the same scent as Daddy?"

Surprised by her son's question, Nina blushed. 'Why did Van think so? Why didn't he ask if I used the same perfume as his dad?'

Baffled, she asked Van to explain it a bit more. "Well, you and Daddy are close to each other every day. I asked Uncle Leon once why Aunt Michelle had the same pleasant smell as him. He told me that if two people are always close to each other, they eventually have the same scent," he said.

At that time, Nina was a bit distracted, so she missed the point of what Van told her.

But now, she fully understood what Van had told her. She was finally able to connect the dots.

The conclusion was almost unthinkable. If Michelle and Leon had the same scent, then they must be close to each other all the time.

They had to be intimately close to have the same scent.

Nina's mind raced. She thought that it was even possible that the two were already intimate that they might have even had sexual contact.000000000☐☐☐☐☐
