You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 273 The Handmade Cheongsam

John and Nina were in the hotel suite.

Nina sat on the sofa and ordered him to pick up the pieces of cloth scattered on the ground.

He handed the cloth to her and asked, "Do you still want it?"

Nina grabbed the cloth. She had got some alterations done to the cheongsam and made it into a dress. She felt heartbroken that such a memorable dress was torn into pieces.

"John, compensate me for the dress."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want." Then he sat down and held her in his arms. "I'll ask someone to make a new dress for you. You can have as many as you want."

"It's different. I did the alteration myself. It's handmade by me." Nina didn't want to let him go easily.

"Then what do you want me to do?" John asked.

Nina came up with an idea. "Make another one for me. You make it."

John was speechless.

He thought it was not proper for a man to make a cheongsam.

"No. Think of another one." he said firmly.

Seeing that John refused to make a new cheongsam, Nina wanted him to do so more. She said, "You can either restore this cheongsam, or you can make another one for me. It's up to you."

Looking at the cheongsam that had been torn into pieces, he hesitated for a while.

He was thinking how it happened.

He remembered that he didn't use much strength when he tore the dress.

Nina looked at him coldly. She knew that it was impossible to restore her cheongsam. She thought, 'You should be blamed because you were so anxious that you tore my dress without asking how to untie it.

Since the dress can't be restored, you have to make one for me by yourself.

Although the new cheongsam isn't made by myself, it's still memorable because it's made by you.'

"Stop looking at it. You can't even sew it. Make a new one for me." Nina got off John's legs and called Lisa, asking her to bring her a conservative dress.

After wearing the dress, Nina found that the hickeys on her body couldn't be covered and still could be seen, so she could only cover the hickeys with the concealer and the jewelry.

The hickeys couldn't be seen unless one looked at them carefully. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Thinking that Leon and Michelle were about to come back, Nina was ready to leave. Before she left, she reminded John again.

"Honey, cheongsam made by yourself."

With a playful smile, Nina left. John reached out his hand and was about to pull her back, but she lifted her dress and ran away fast.

In a flash, she left.

He leaned back and pinched his nose.

He thought he would have to do as she said.

Nina went back to her brother's suite. Knowing that Wynn was also in the suite and in his own room, she tiptoed back to her room.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she closed the door.

Meeting John secretly brought her tension.

She liked this feeling.

She felt it was interesting.

As long as she thought of the time when John took out the marriage certificate and then kept emphasizing that they were a legal couple, she couldn't help laughing.

Nina thought what was the funniest was that he stubbornly forbade her to look at the marriage certificate, fearing that she would see his ugly photo.

Her husband cared about his face so much.

As soon as Nina sat on the bed, her phone vibrated.

"Nini, have you finished meeting Uncle John? You'd better go back to the suite soon. Leon and I have left the amusement park."

While texting, Michelle kept glancing at Leon, who was buying ice cream, for fear of being seen by him.

When Leon came towards Michelle with strawberry ice cream in his hand, he saw her looking at him and typing on her phone with her little fingers, appearing to be guilty and defensive.

Seeing that he was looking at her, she immediately looked away and put away her phone.

Leon knew who Michelle was sending messages to. "Mimi, who are you texting?"

"Hey, you're back." Michelle didn't give a direct answer. She was instantly attracted by the ice cream. "Wow, strawberry ice cream. I like strawberry best."

"Here you are." Leon handed the ice cream to her and didn't ask anymore. He glanced at her phone and saw a message from Nina.

'Ninja has broken the promise and has gone to meet John.

Mimi is a good girl and helped them quietly.' Leon thought.

Michelle took a bite of the ice cream and secretly looked at Leon through the corner of her eye. Seeing that he didn't ask more, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she dodged Leon's question.

"Michelle, what are you looking at?" Leon lowered his head and caught Michelle's exploring eyes.

Michelle was less than 1.6 meters tall. Standing next to Leon, she looked small.

"Look at you. You're so beautiful." Michelle blurted it out.

Nina once told her that no one would find out that one was lying if what he or she said was true.

Michelle really thought that Leon was very beautiful.

He was more beautiful when he smiled.

"What a little girl!" Leon touched her head and said, "Since you like looking at me, then do it."

Michelle felt that she had completely muddled through, and her steps became brisk. She smiled and said, "Can I take a photo of you? I can see your photo when you're not here, because you're really beautiful."

It was not the first time that Leon had heard someone praise him for his beauty, but he felt very sweet when he heard Michelle said that he was beautiful.

"Just do it." Leon stood there and let her take photos.

"Leon, take the ice cream and stand here. I'll tell you when I'm done." Without asking for Leon's permission, Michelle put the ice cream in his hand. It was hot and the ice cream smelt, making his hand sticky.

Leon disliked it.

However, seeing that she was smiling so happily, he didn't do anything to disappoint her.

Michelle was taking a photo.

Because she was much shorter than Leon, she had to raise her head to take a picture. And she took a photo of his upper body.

In the photo there was blue sky and white clouds.

There was a smile on Leon's face. His amber eyes looked gentle.

The strawberry ice cream added some pink to his white hand.

"Okay." Michelle ran towards him with excitement and shared the photo with him. "Look, I have taken a very beautiful picture of you, haven't I?"

Leon took a glance at the photo and said, "Not bad."

"It's very good." Michelle put her phone in her bag, took back the ice cream and went back to the hotel while eating ice cream.

When they returned to the hotel, Nina was sleeping in her room.

Nina was really asleep.

She did feel a little tired after staying with John for a while.

Leon didn't wake her up. He asked Wynn, "How's the preparation for the dinner?"

"Everything's been done. I specially sent an invitation to everybody of the Shi family. Miss Jessica and Miss Vivian came here today. They may embarrass the little princess tomorrow night." Wynn said.

"Let's wait and see what they will do tomorrow. If anyone from the Shi family dares to do anything bad to Ninja, I will take her back to C Island." Leon wouldn't let his sister suffer any grievance.
