You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 670 Don't You Feel Guilty

Valerie was not in K City. Her whereabouts were still unclear to them. Bryant had to work so after two days, he went back to Lexingport City.

On other hand, Leon wasn't in a hurry to go back. He stayed there for another week. As he didn't take his phone with him, nobody could get in touch with him.

The whole time, he blamed himself for what had happened. If it weren't for him, Baker and Valerie would've lived a happy life with each other. They wouldn't have quarreled so badly, and Baker wouldn't have slapped Valerie.

Both the Feng and Qin families were afraid to offend the royal family. All they could do was to let the poor couple live outside the island.

Because Baker had slapped Valerie, Leon dealt with his company and all Baker's efforts vanished overnight. But Baker didn't give up. He restarted his career.

And Leon didn't try to deal with him again.

As soon as Leon came back to Lexingport City, he asked Wynn to continue looking for Valerie.

Their initial plan was for Wynn to investigate for a month and then return to Lexingport City. However, Wynn had only stayed in the city for half a month after the last investigation. This made him furious.

He dragged Leon to the boxing gym and challenged him to a fight.

Compared to other people in the boxing gym, both Wynn and Leon looked weak and thin. However, what they lacked in physical prowess, they made up in ferocity. Their fighting prompted the once indifferent onlookers to watch them throw punches.

Wynn was the champion of fighting on C Island. He had been selected to become Leon's bodyguard since childhood. He received the most rigorous training and was taught by the most powerful fighter. Even though he suffered a lot, he came out of it as the ferocious fighter he was now. Even though he and Leon had the same teacher, Leon was nowhere near close his level.

Most of his lessons focused on fist and foot skills, which Leon didn't have. Leon had a lot to learn and had a full schedule every day.

Being a proud man, Leon didn't allow Wynn to let him win. At first, Wynn was afraid to win over Leon. However, after they had gotten to know each other, Wynn began to unleash his true strength. Since then, Leon had never won against him.

Just like always, Leon lost again. Lying on the floor, he sweated profusely as his chest weaved, trying to catch a gasp. The sweat drenched his hair.

"How could he lose?" someone from the crowd sighed. "Damn it; I thought he would win!"

Leon heard this and thought to himself, 'It would be a miracle if I won.'

"Are you okay?" Wynn looked down at Leon as he removed his gloves using his teeth.

"Yeah, I'm good," Leon said with a dry voice as he tried to smile.

"Are you feeling better now? It doesn't help that you didn't contact anyone for a week. It's better to vent it." Wynn took off his wet clothes, revealing his ripped physique. Although he looked thin, his abs were clearly defined.

Since he didn't have bulgy muscles, it went well with his cold and heroic features, creating an overall beautiful aesthetic for him, making people charmed and fascinated.

Leon noticed that someone outside the ring had their jaw slacked, almost salivating. He sat up and raised his eyebrows. "Stop showing off. Get dressed."

"You're just jealous. Get up and change your wet clothes. Don't you feel sticky wearing them?" Wynn clicked his tongue and reached out his hand for Leon to grab.

Once Leon was up, both of them went to the shower together. Once they were wearing clean clothes, they felt light and refreshed.

"Have you contacted Michelle? Have you told her that you're back?" Wynn asked as they walked out of the boxing gym.

Leon turned at him with a guilty look, implying that he had forgotten.

"Damn it, Leon. You lived in her apartment and ordered her around. Despite all that, you didn't even bother to think of her. How ruthless of you! I didn't think you were this bad until now." Wynn shot a look of disgust towards him.

"Shut up. Don't talk nonsense." Leon frowned at him. "You took me to the boxing gym as soon as I came back. My phone was out of use for more than a week. It's probably out of power. I'll call her when I get back."

Wynn sneered at him. "You're just friends. I'd never seen a man pretend to be poor and ask a girl to support him."

"That's none of your business. If you try, maybe you can find a good girl for yourself." Leon snorted.

"Hey, I do have one!" With a smug smile, Wynn took out his phone and showed Leon his WeChat. "I met this girl two days ago. She's rich, but she isn't as bad-tempered as other rich ladies. She's interesting and I easily get along with her."

"Debra." When Leon saw the note, something boiled inside him but immediately cooled off. He patted the phone on Wynn's chest. "Her father is close to Tim. It's best not to get involved with him."

"I know, but that's her father you're referring to, not her." Wynn brushed it off.

"You're right. But still, it may be troublesome. Be careful. Don't let your lust cloud your brain," Leon reminded him.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Besides, I haven't slept with Debra yet. I don't care about that." Wynn explained.

"Since you're not in love with her, don't even try to flirt with her, let alone try to sleep with her," Leon said as he walked.

Wynn stopped in his tracks. "Fuck you, Leon! All this time, you've been pretending to be a good man in front of Michelle. If I weren't so loyal to you, I would've probably exposed you for who you really are!

What do you think? I'm loyal enough, right?" He put his hand on Leon's shoulder and looked up at him.

"You're helping yourself," Leon said with a faint smile.

The smile on Wynn's face vanished.

He removed his hand on Leon's shoulder and walked in front of him, furious. The passersby who saw Wynn avoided him in horror.

Leon laughed behind him.

When Leon returned to the hotel, Bryant had already started charging his phone. Leon turned on his phone and saw that Michelle called him a lot during that night. She also sent him lots of messages on WeChat, asking him where he had gone and that she was worried about him. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Leon tried to call her back immediately, only to find out that her phone was turned off. He tried calling her again via WeChat, but was disconnected quickly, suggesting that she wasn't online.

Anxiety started to wrap around his heart.

He tried calling her again a few more times, but the results were the same. "Why is her phone turned off? Is she angry?"

he asked in frustration. "You can't reach her, right? I'm not sure if she's angry. The only thing I know is that she cried a lot that night when she couldn't contact you. When I came over the give her some strawberries, her eyes were red and swollen. Later on, her roommate told me that she was crying all night, worried that you might've been kidnapped or something," Wynn said.

As Leon heard what Michelle had gone through because of him, he started to feel guilty. "She cried?"

"Yes, she cried. It's hard to imagine, right? She would always laugh every day. But she was crying her eyes out because you left without telling her. Don't you feel guilty? How could you let a girl worry about you?"

Leon did feel guilty.

And yet, a part of him felt glad. He never expected that someone would get so worried over him. But as soon as he imagined Michelle's face red with tears, that joy vanished.

'Leon, you're a terrible person. How could you let a girl worry about you and cry?' Leon blamed himself for everything that had happened.
