Only you in my love

Chapter 811 Entering The Dream Manor

After a moment's silence, Tim finally said, "No."

"Really?" As expected, Caroline was surprised. After a while, she understood something. "Do you really

like Mimi that much that you find a woman that looks just like her?"

That woman was indeed a substitute.

But Caroline had drawn the wrong conclusion.

This substitute was not for him.

But Tim was secretly pleased that Caroline misunderstood the situation.

"Yes." After a slight pause, he asked, "Did Michelle go back to work?"

"No. We don't go to work on weekends." Caroline shot him another quick glance before her eyes

returned to the road. "Why? Shouldn't Mimi be in the hospital?"

But Tim just ignored her question.

The following Monday, Leon personally drove Michelle to work. After thanking him, she went straight to

her desk. The work piled up while she was on leave, so she had to make up for the lost time.

At noon, someone sent her a special lunch package. This time, Michelle didn't even attempt to hide it

and proudly announced that it was from her boyfriend.

She quickly took a photo of the lunch and texted Leon her thanks. Her colleagues were so what jealous

of them.

Seeing the strawberries from the Dream Manor, Michelle suddenly remembered that she had promised

Gray something and hadn't fulfilled it yet.

She then put this matter on her agenda.

Later that evening, Leon came to pick Michelle up and she asked about the Dream Manor.

"Leon, do you know Tasha of Dream Manor?" Settling into the passenger seat, Michelle fastened her

seat belt and turned to him inquisitively.

"Yeah, why?" Leon turned to look at her with concern written all over his face. "Did the strawberries

taste bad?"

"Not at all!" Michelle said quickly. "Caroline likes Dream Manor so much, but it seems Tasha doesn't

allow entry to anyone. Leon, do you know how to get in?"

"I do," Leon replied with a knowing smile.

"How?" Michelle's eyes lit up instantly. Caroline had always been so nice to her, so she hoped to return

the favor.

Leon didn't answer her right away. Instead, he just started the car and headed for the North Yard.

"Are you friends with Caroline?" he asked.

"Well, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have found such a nice job. Also, she takes care of me at work."

"Caroline would have to go to Dream Manor with you. She can't get in without you."

Unbeknownst to Michelle, Leon had built Dream Manor for her and planted her favorite strawberries.

The manor itself was decorated in her favorite color, pink.

Leon had never mentioned this to Michelle, so when she heard that they wouldn't let Caroline into the

Dream Manor without her, she looked at him dubiously.

"Why?" she asked, brows furrowed in confusion. Pointing at herself, she asked, "Am I some sort of

gate pass?"

Leon chuckled. "I guess you could say that."

When they had the time, Michelle took Caroline to the manor.

It was a weekend. The sun shone high in the sky, melting the last of the snow in Lexingport City.

Despite the snow melting and the radiant sun, it was still blisteringly cold.

Michelle sank deep into the collar of her jacket, regretting having forgotten her scarf in the car. Her

cold, clammy hands hurried to zip up her jacket.

"Cold? You can wear mine." Caroline was ecstatic to finally enter the manor, and she barely felt the

cold. She briskly took off her scarf and threw it to her shivering friend.

Before Michelle could protest, Caroline bounded along ahead to have a quick word with Tasha who

was leading the way.

Seeing that Caroline was engrossed in conversation with Tasha, Michelle decided to accept the scarf

and wrapped it around her neck.

Finally, she was warm.

Michelle trotted over to them. When she caught up to the two, Tasha nodded at her respectfully.

How could she not?

Michelle was Leon's girlfriend, after all.

Back then, it was Leon who saved Tasha and gave her a stable job, enough to help her support her

family.

She managed to pay off her debts. Although she was far from rich, she was very happy. It was more

than enough for her to have saved her family from a never-ending cycle of poverty and disease.

Of course, she couldn't have done so without Leon, and so, she respected Michelle by default.

"Miss He, are you going to shoot with Miss Yu? I noticed that you didn't bring any equipment with you,

though. If you have free time, I can take you to see the strawberries. Don't worry, it's not cold there.

The strawberries are planted in the greenhouse."

"Okay!" Michelle nodded enthusiastically. "Cara, if you don't need me for anything, I'll go check on the

strawberries."

"Go on ahead." Caroline smiled at her brightly. "I'll go there later, anyway. You can wait for me there."

"Okay!"

Michelle then happily followed Tasha. Like what Tasha promised, it wasn't cold. Actually, it was quite

warm; it didn't take long before she undid the scarf around her neck.

While Michelle was admiring the plants, Tasha asked gently, "Miss He, how were the strawberries we

sent?"

"Delicious!" Michelle smiled at the thought of the plump strawberries that came with her lunch. Then, From NôvelDrama.Org.

she stretched out her hand and brushed some leaves to the side, revealing growing strawberries,

which were partially red and partially white.

"How did you plant them? They are so good." Michelle turned to grin at Tasha sweetly, revealing her

cute pearly whites.

Her almond-shaped eyes twinkled like stars.

Michelle's question made Tasha think about Leon, who would come to the manor whenever he had free

time. Whenever he saw little green sprouts popping out of the earth, he would smile to himself. Tasha

couldn't help but smile at the memory.

"Of course. Mr. Lu planted the strawberries for you himself."

Michelle was taken aback.

"Did you say Leon planted the strawberries himself?"

Didn't he tell her that he ordered others to take care of them? Ordering other people to do something

was totally different from doing it oneself.

Her eyes popped wide open in disbelief.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Tasha and Michelle were about the same age, and the former was also

a girl with a sweet smile. "I couldn't believe my eyes, either. Mr. Lu is a rich and powerful man; why

would he take the time to plant strawberries?

The strawberries here were planted by Mr. Lu himself, while the strawberries there were planted by us.

Given that Mr. Lu is a busy man, he wasn't able to plant that many strawberries. The ones that he did

are solely for you. The strawberries we planted will be sent to the Shi family and your family."

Michelle breathed in sharply and her heart started to race. She couldn't seem to describe what she was

feeling.

"Leon planted them himself?" she repeated.

"Yes. Mr. Lu planted them himself." Tasha nodded. "Actually, the first strawberries he planted didn't

grow properly. Few of them survived, but he never gave up and put a lot of effort into it. After a few

attempts, the strawberries flourished.

The truth is, I've never tasted any of his strawberries. He said they were delicious." If Michelle wasn't

mistaken, Tasha sounded somewhat bitter.

And she was right; Tasha really wanted to try one of the strawberries Leon had grown because she

wanted to see if they tasted any different from her strawberries.

However, Leon would rather throw away his strawberries than let anyone but Michelle taste them.

Michelle didn't know what to say, but she was so moved that her eyes started to brim with tears.

So it turned out that that plump, delicious strawberries that were carefully packed with her lunch were

planted by Leon.
