A Love Trap

Leo felt like it was the most awkward afternoon he had ever had. Time just went by as Leo and Peggy were chatting, or so it seemed. That afternoon passed so quickly with no important topic arising in their supposed 'conversation'.

Peggy took a look at her watch and found out that it was already five o'clock. As it should always be, Spencer, her husband, would be back soon.

Having been together for years, Peggy knew exactly Spencer's tempers and habits. One that was particularly bizarre was he always hated her association with anyone of the Su family, because he simply... hated them. It was even more perplexing, considering that Peggy herself once lived with the Su family! Spencer simply overlooked that fact and pretended that it never was the case to begin with.

"Alright, it's getting late now. You should probably go back. And never look for me if you have nothing important to say, please," said Peggy apathetically as she half-glanced at Leo.

Although Leo wished to stay a little longer, to wait and see his uncle and, most importantly, his seemingly pretty cousin, he had no other choices but to get ready to leave since Peggy had, rather forcefully, bid him farewell. But he had been yearning to see his cousin Lena for a long time, especially after the last unsuccessful blind date with Ashley.

After Peggy's words, Leo could only stand up obediently and said, "Well, Aunt Peggy, I'm leaving now. I'll come and see you next time."

With a faint smile on her face, Peggy then pronounced, "Terri, take my guest to the door, please!" Though she nodded at Leo, she did not actually pay much attention to what he was saying.

"Oh, yes, ma'am," responded Terri Chen as she walked out quickly of the kitchen and approached Leo. She looked at him and said politely, "Mr. Su, this way, please."

"Mother, I'm home!" Right before Leo and Terri Chen could reach the door, there came this sudden but pleasant sound from the other side of the door and then the door of the villa was pushed open.

Almost at the same time, Peggy and Leo turned their heads to look at the direction where the voice came from.

When the door was widely opened, what they saw was Lena in a white lace dress with high-heeled white shoes. Under the lace dress, her skin looked as white as snow and the white dress made her skin look even fairer and more delicate. With the high-heeled shoes, her legs looked even slenderer and sexier.

Her black straight hair was waist-length, with a bit curl at the end of the hair. There was the latest Chanel bag in her hand, and her fingers looked very slim while they rested on the bag. With a touch of makeup on her delicate oval face, she looked so youthful and gorgeous. Leo gazed at Lena ever since the moment she popped into his eyes, unable to look away or even blink.

Meanwhile, Lena took only a brief look at Leo, who was standing in front of her, after she opened the door and she was kind of taken aback at the sight of Leo. For one, she knew nothing about him. Another reason was his look disgusted her. She then turned and looked at Peggy, and she uttered, "Mother, we have a guest at home?"

he's nobody and he's going to leave anyway. So you don't need to think about him. It's all right, dear, come here," replied Peggy as she stepped toward Lena and embraced her, distracting her focus on him, quickly. Peggy's tone was so dry when she mentioned the "nobody" part. It sounded like she really meant what she said,
