Chapter 715 Poor Taste
Leon felt that he was already straightforward enough, and yet Michelle still couldn''t understand. He
believed that she had never imagined herself falling in love with him.
''After all, she has someone she likes.
I can stop them from being in a romantic rtionship, but I can''t stop her from loving him.
I don''t even know who he is.
Is it Austin?
It can''t be Colby. Is it Aron?
She told me she just had a crush on someone recently. Maybe it''s... Forget it. I don''t want to know.''
He frowned and looked at Michelle''s frightened expression. "Even if you wanted to, I wouldn''t skin my
face or cut off my legs. Why do you think of skinning my face? It''s scary, you know."
"Huh?" Michelle scratched her head. "I don''t know. Why do I think of such a terrible thing? Oh! I
remember. Nini once told me about a case involving a corpse chopped into pieces..."
"Okay, you can stop," Leon interrupted as he rubbed his temple. He knew her sister was involved one
way or another.
Other girls would cry out in pain and throw themselves into their brothers'' arms when they were hurt.
But Nina was different. She was more likely to protect him if ever something did happen.
''Why does Nini influence the girl around her to be as bold as she is?'' he thought to himself. When
Michelle spoke of that dismembered corpse, she was so calm.
She should be a soft and obedient girl.
"Okay, Leon." Michelle covered her mouth with both hands.
She had already been used to covering her mouth with both hands, thinking it would add anotheryer
of protection.
Leon pulled her hands away from her mouth and continued to hold them. Her hand was soft and
chubby, almost like a baby''s. He wanted to pinch them so bad but stopped himself since he might hurt
her. But still, he craved the warmth that her hands emitted.
Before he could let go of her hands, Michelle pulled them away from his grasp. "Leon," she called him
softly, looking like a frightened dear.
He really liked it when she was soft and obedient.
"Michelle, did the person you likee to celebrate your birthdayst night?" Leon couldn''t help
asking.
When Michelle heard his question, she became flustered and looked away from him.
"No, he didn''te." She shook her head.
''It is really Austin?''
Leon stared at her pinkish face for a while and sighed.
''She broke her promise.
She told me she wanted to find a boyfriend as good-looking as me. How can anyone meet that
standard?
I''m much more handsome than Austin.
This girl must have poor taste.''
"Michelle, do you want to buy a pair of sses? I can give you one as a birthday gift." Leon picked up
his phone and searched for pictures of different eyesses. "Which one do you like?"
She was so confused by the sudden shift in topic. At first, she nodded because she didn''t understand
what he was trying to say. But as soon as she did, she shook her head. "Leon, I''m not nearsighted."
"Are you sure about that?" he asked suspiciously.
She paused for a while and reflected. "My eyesight''s a little affected, but it''s not that serious. I can still
see the secondst row of the visual testing chart. Besides, if I wear sses, my eyesight might get
worse."
He put away his phone and sighed. "Okay, but since you still can''t see thatst line clearly, that means
you''re still a little nearsighted. If your eyesight starts to go bad, I can help you. After all, my eyes are
very clear."
"Okay, will do!" She nodded her head happily.
"Good girl." He patted her head and stared at her bright face. "My birthday''sing soon. Will you give
me a special gift?"
"It''s still twenty-two days away. What special gift do you want?" Michelle asked and raised her head.
"Twenty-two days? How could you remember it so well?" Leon chuckled.
"I think of your birthday every day. Actually, I''ve been struggling to find a gift that you''d like. Is there
anything that you want? I can buy it for you."
"Only you can give it to me. You don''t have to buy it. Once my birthdayes, you''ll know." A sly smile
broke on his face.
He looked as though he had a scheme in mind.
Michelle tilted her head in curiosity. "Leon, what do you want? Why I am the only one who can give it to
you?
"Because only you keep telling it to me every day, and I want it to turn into reality." Leon stopped
himself from saying too much. After all, it would be bad if she had guessed it in advance.
If she wouldn''t be able to guess it beforehand, then he could ask her for it as a gift during his birthday.
If that happened, she wouldn''t be able to refuse him.
He was as evil as before. In the past, he had forced a woman to stay. Now, he was doing the same
thing.
"Forget about it for now. Right now, you have to focus on yourpetition," Leon said. "This is going to
be your first time topete in an officialpetition. You must fight hard."
Michelle''s eyes widened. "Leon, are you a god? It seems that you know everything about me. I haven''t
even told you that I''ll bepeting."
Of course he knew that. Otherwise, the money he had invested in their club would be wasted.
He smiled. "Prepare well for thepetition, okay? Even if you''re just a substitute, you should still be
in your best form."
"Okay!" Michelle eximed.
The next day, Michelle went back to the club and trained regrly to prepare for thepetition held in
another province.
While all of this was happening, she didn''t have much time to chat with Leon. She only managed to
greet him twice every day: when she woke up, and when she was about to sleep.
She found out that she would be join in thepetition although she was a mere recement.
The news made her so excited but nervous at the same time. ''If Leon were here, maybe I wouldn''t feel
so nervous, '' she thought.
''But if Leon were really here, I might be more nervous! He mightugh at me if I don''t perform well.''
With onest exhale, she walked straight onto the stage.

However, she didn''t know that Leon was watching her across the screen. He looked at her so intently
that he didn''t notice Valerie pouring him a ss of water.
When Michelle''s face appeared on the screen, the audience erupted. Even her opponents were quite
surprised.
Since Michelle never turned on her headset or showed her face, no one had thought that she was a
girl.
Only the people
in her club knew the truth.
The two teams hadpeted several times in various localpetitions. The other team thought
Michelle was a young man. They never expected it to be a girl.
Her bright smile and innocent face instantly captured the hearts of both the audience and other
participants.
There were a lot of female Esports yers, but only a few of them could be professionals.
After thatpetition, Michelle became famous.
Leon never took his eyes away from the live broadcast until Michelle was no longer there.
When he was about to stand up, he heard Valerie say, "It''s not yet over. She has an interview."
She was sitting on the sofa, holding an iPad.
"When did youe back?" Leon was so engrossed with Michelle that she didn''t notice Valeriee
in.
He no longer had any feelings for her. He was like talking to an old friend. "Just now. When I saw that
you were watching Michelle, I didn''t disturb you. Her interview''s about to start. Do you want to watch it
together?"
Valerie faced her iPad to him. There, Michelle was smiling while someone was pointing a microphone
towards her.
"Okay!" He sat down with her.
They were rather close to each other.
Valerie nced at the handsome man beside her. She could smell his light perfume. A smug smile
formed at the corner of her mouth.
