Only you in my love

Michelle was mindlessly tailing Vicente when she suddenly came to her senses.

"Wait, where are you taking me? I can't be alone with strangers."

Vicente was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. "Don't worry, I'm not a stranger. I'm Berry's cousin and a good friend of Nina and Leon. So, in a way, I'm your friend, too." Michelle looked at her with wide eyes. "You know me?"

"Yes, Michelle." Vicente grabbed Michelle's wrist. "Let's get you a new pair of shoes."

Michelle tried to take another step and felt a sharp pain. She resigned herself and allowed Vicente to lead her into a quiet reception room.

Vicente made her sit on the sofa and asked a nearby servant to bring her some tea. When the servant was gone, she glanced at her feet and said, "Take your shoes off and rest here. I need to go out to make a call." "Okay." Michelle watched as Vicente scuttled to the door, fishing her phone out of her pocket. Through the big French window, she saw Vicente talking on the phone.

After the call, Vicente poked her head in through the door and said, "Sit tight. Someone will bring you a pair of shoes. Right now, I have something urgent to deal with." "Okay." Michelle nodded obediently.

Unconvinced, Vicente added, "Don't go wandering around. Just sit here and wait for me to come back."

Vicente didn't leave until she promised.

Michelle started to feel bored, so she tried to reach for her phone. Then she remembered she'd slipped it into Caroline's handbag on the way here, thinking they'd stick together throughout the whole night.

Her eyes started to wander. She eyed the door and saw the shadow of a person walking past the room, but no one peaked inside or knocked on the door.

'Since I'm the only one here, it won't matter if I take off my shoes, right?

But it'd be so weird to take my shoes off at such a grand banquet...'

Conflicted, she glanced at her feet. She saw the blisters on her feet, which made her decide to take off her shoes.

Her heels fell to the cold floor and she felt cool and comfortable.

The feeling of relief washed over her when her feet were finally free. Finally at ease, she relaxed into the sofa and stretched out her legs, wriggling her toes. After a while, she sat up straight, bent down, and curiously poked at a blister. A sharp pain shot up from the blister, and she quickly retracted her hand. She started to blow on her feet in the hopes of relieving the pain.

She knew blowing on the blisters would do nothing to ease the pain. But at the very least, it might give her comfort of some sort.

When he received the phone call from Vicente, Leon rushed to the banquet venue.

There were many reception rooms in the hall, so Leon wasn't sure which one Michelle was in. He could only run and check every room one by one.

When he passed the room she was in, Michelle was blowing on her foot, so Leon didn't see her face. He didn't recognize the woman in the room, so he quickly moved on to the next one.

But Michelle felt her senses tingling strangely. She raised her head slowly, but there was no one outside the glass door.

Still, she couldn't help but feel that Leon was nearby. "Leon," she whispered.

Despite her whisper being barely audible, Leon stopped in his tracks. Swallowing uncertainly, he took two cautious steps backward.

He turned his head to look through the glass door and saw the girl in a beautiful cyan dress sitting on the sofa.

Her shoulder length hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her fair neck and lovely clavicle. With her head tilted slightly to the side, she looked a little confused, as though she were an ethereal spirit that happened to stumble into this mortal world. She was wearing the bracelet sent by him, which made her skin look even fairer than usual.

'It's her.

I've finally found Michelle.'

Leon breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled to himself helplessly. Sparing no more time, he pushed the door open, announcing his presence.

To attend the party held by the Yin family, one needed to dress formally. Leon himself was wearing a smart, black suit with a white shirt underneath, an elegant bow tie peeking out at the collar.

A pair of long, slender legs dressed in black slacks and polished leather shoes started making their way towards the girl on the sofa.

Michelle looked up in a daze and their eyes meet. She saw the handsome man she had missed so much coming closer and closer. The air was filled with the familiar scent of his perfume, and Michelle's eyes were no longer confused, but pleasantly surprised. "Leon?"

Just as she was about to get up, Leon's hands shot out and forced her to sit back down again.

Then, he bent over and leaned forward. Michelle held her breath. If she wasn't mistaken, Leon sounded like he was panting.

When Vicente called him, he was still in his car, roughly eight hundred meters away from the Yin family residence. There was a long queue of cars in front of him.

The moment he found out Michelle was there, he got out of the car and ran across a small path, not stopping until he found her. Naturally, he was out of breath.

He pulled off the bowtie and threw it aside. Then he loosened his collar and lowered his head to kiss Michelle. Pulling away, he demanded, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to C Island?" But she didn't answer. The sound of his heavy breathing made her body go numb.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Leon kissed her again, rubbing the tip of her nose against his.

Finally, she whispered, "I wanted it to be a surprise."

Leon stared at her incredulously. But in the end, he simply burst into laughter. Raising his index finger, he poked her in the forehead as though to blame her, but his eyes were full of affection. Michelle grinned. "Leon, you are so handsome tonight."

"Don't change the topic." Leon wagged his finger at her face. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming here? I can't believe you took the trouble to visit me."

Michelle shook her head. "I'm mainly here for work, but I figured I could visit you while I was here."

Hearing that, Leon felt the need to punish her. He leaned forward again and bit her bottom lip, albeit gently.

When Michelle was bitten by Tim, she felt nothing but fear and disgust. Now, she felt relieved to be bitten by Leon.

She couldn't help but smile as he nibbled on her lower lip.

Feeling her happiness, Leon also smiled and pulled away slightly. His thumb gently stroked the place he had just bitten.

"What made you so happy?" he asked, eyes twinkling with amusement. "That bite was supposed to be your punishment."

She smiled and said nothing, and simply looked at him contentedly.

Leon straightened up and pulled Michelle towards him. She threw her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his stomach, rubbing against it like a cat. "Michelle, you should always tell me where you're going." He touched her head gently.

She nodded obediently.

After a while, someone knocked on the door. Leon glanced at the glass door and found Vicente standing outside, holding up a box. Leon motioned for her to come inside. Hearing the door click open, Michelle pulled away from Leon and smoothed her hair.

Vicente set the shoe box down on the table and said, "These are for Mimi. Her feet got chafed by the heels she was wearing earlier."

At the sound of her nickname, Michelle looked at her in surprise. "How'd you know my nickname?"

Vicente hesitated for a moment before calmly lying, "Oh, Nina told me."

Michelle's suspicion disappeared as quickly as it came. However, when she looked at Leon, she noticed the sullen look on his face.

He was staring at her feet.

Like a child caught in the act, she suddenly turned pink with embarrassment and tried to hide her feet under the sofa.

The next moment, Leon squatted down and grabbed her by the ankle.

She still wanted to protest, but he said to her coldly. "If you move, I'll break your legs."

Seeing her chafed, bleeding feet, Leon felt his anger rising and he wanted to scold her. But when he locked eyes with her, he lost the will. She just looked too innocent. So instead, he sighed helplessly.

As Leon slipped on the new shoes onto her feet, he muttered, "Don't wear high heels anymore."

Outside the glass door, Barbie, who was supporting her aged grandfather, happened to see everything.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
