"Your mom."
Leo blinked in surprise. "Are you cursing at me?"
Anya shook her head softly, her demeanor not quite matching her bold makeup. "No, Leo. It was your mom, my aunt, who did my makeup and dressed me up."
Leo paused, swallowing hard. He decided to brush off his earlier threat. "Why did my mom do your makeup?"
Anya blinked playfully, her voice sweet as she explained, "I told her someone was trying to snatch you away from me, and she jumped right in to help. She even mentioned how she spruced up your aunt back in the day and had your uncle completely smitten. She wanted me to do the same with you~"
Leo tugged at the straps on Anya's shoulders. "This? You think this is going to captivate me? You're just trying to rile me up! You’re lucky if you haven’t got me breathing fire yet."
Anya pouted, looking a bit put out as she murmured, "Then tell me, Leo, who's trying to steal you away? If I know who it is, I won't be searching in the dark."
Leo, exasperated, shouted, "It's over!"
Initially, there were whispers of someone having their eye on him, but after he kissed Anya in front of everyone yesterday, news spread like wildfire. Everyone now knew he was taken and head over heels, so there wouldn't be as many admirers chasing after him.
But today, she had gone and done it again.
Anya sulked, leaning against the chair. "From now on, I'm only wearing these clothes in front of you."
Leo scoffed, "Grandpa even said I looked like a goddess in this."
"The old man's eyesight is going, and you can't even tell."
Anya puffed her cheeks and muttered, "If Grandpa finds out, he'll probably come after you with his cane again."
"Anya, my hearing's just fine."
Feeling self-conscious, Anya touched her nose, checking her hands for any smudged makeup.
Seeing her little gestures, Leo remarked, "You don't look bad." Then, looking at his charming girlfriend, he added, "You shouldn't come to pick me up from work anymore."
Anya huffed, "Leo, you're not even a little bit cute, hmph."
Jealous, he challenged, "And what's so cute about that little chubby guy?"
"Baby smiled at me today and played with me. I didn't even hold him! And here you are, yelling at me, criticizing me, and now telling me I can't pick you up from work~"
Hearing this, Leo cut straight to the point, "Did you kiss him today?"
Anya fell silent, suddenly unsure of what to say.
"Answer me," Leo insisted.
Anya's voice was small, "I missed him too much, I just... couldn't help it~"
Leo shifted closer to Anya until their knees touched. Anya, feeling a bit uneasy, leaned back. "Leo, Henry is just a baby."
Leo darkened, "However you kissed him today, do the same to me now."
Anya looked at Leo's face, recalling how she had smothered baby Henry's cheeks with kisses. She hesitated, "Leo, I'm wearing lipstick, you might lose a few seconds of your life."
