Leon and His Stepmother
"Seriously, Leon, you look like a Hollywood actor. Your body is so proportional—strong arms, broad chest. It must be easy for him to lift weights, right? I'm jealous just looking at him. Windy, do you agree? Your half-cousin is so cool!"
Windy just nodded slowly, her face growing redder. "Yes, Ma... He's cool," she muttered, her stiffness becoming more apparent as the memory of last night made it difficult for her to look Leon in the eye.
Leon himself replied briefly, "Ah, it's nothing special, sis. Thanks for the compliment," his voice stiff, his hands busy with the fried rice, avoiding eye contact with anyone, especially Windy.
