When Arthur saw Athena for the first time, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. His eyes sparkled with admiration, and a warm flush crept across his cheeks. He nervously scratched the back of his head, one hand half-raised in a hesitant wave, unsure if he should speak first.
Maria's cheeks were burning crimson as she gripped the hem of her shirt, caught between wanting to greet Athena and fearing she might trip over her words. The tension in the air was thick, and sweat began to bead on her forehead as she tried to pull herself together.
Josie, timid as ever, hid behind Maria, clutching her Hello Kitty doll with one hand while gripping Maria's shirt with the other. She peeked out from behind Maria, her wide eyes filled with curiosity as she secretly studied Athena.
Athena's gaze swept over Arthur and Maria before settling on the shy little girl. She flashed Josie a warm, inviting smile, causing her to blush furiously and quickly bury her face against Maria's side.
"Athena, let me introduce you," Wesley said, giving Arthur a gentle pat on the shoulder. "This is your fourth brother, Arthur. He's 22 and helps your mom and me with the barbecue stand. He's a sharp kid and works hard, even though he can be a bit of a handful sometimes."
Arthur's face flushed even more at the introduction. He stammered slightly, "Athena, you're... you're amazing in every way. I promise I'll be a good brother to you. If I mess up, just tell me, and I'll do my best to fix it."
Athena responded with a soft smile, her eyes warm and bright. "Thank you, Arthur. That means a lot."
Hearing her say his name made Arthur's heart leap. A goofy grin spread across his face, and he felt like he could float away with joy.
Wesley continued, "And this is your sixth sister, Maria. She's 20. You can call her whatever you like. No need to stand on ceremony between sisters."
Maria, seeing Athena up close for the first time, was completely awestruck. Athena's beauty, even more radiant than she had imagined from afar, was almost otherworldly. She seemed to glow, like some kind of celestial being, and it made it hard for Maria to hold her gaze.
Overwhelmed with nerves, Maria's eyes darted to the side as she stammered, "H-hi, Athena. I'm... I'm Maria."
Feeling the need to say something more, Maria quickly added, "Athena, you're so beautiful—the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. You're like... like a fairy! I'm not even exaggerating."
Athena, noticing Maria's nervousness and slight insecurity, responded with a gentle smile. "Hello, Maria. Nice to meet you."
She had thought the sixth daughter of the Donovan family might be her twin sister, but now, seeing Maria in person, that was clearly not the case.
'So where is my twin?' Athena wondered.
The question of her real twin's whereabouts gnawed at her, but she hesitated to ask. Her relationship with the Donovans was too new, too fragile for such personal questions.
Athena's smile was so captivating that it left Maria feeling slightly dizzy. In her mildly intoxicated state, she marveled at Athena's seemingly flawless presence. 'How could one person embody so much perfection?' she thought.
From her stunning beauty to her graceful poise, from her porcelain skin to her enviable figure and impeccable style—Athena was the very definition of elegance. Her smile, in particular, was utterly mesmerizing.
Her voice was just as enchanting—a gentle, pure melody that made Maria feel like she'd stumbled upon a cool mountain spring on a scorching summer day. It was refreshing, soothing to the soul.
Lost in her thoughts, Maria barely noticed Josie peeking out from behind her. Her eyes, a mix of curiosity and shyness, were locked on Athena.
Snapping back to reality, Maria gently patted Josie's head. "Josie, didn't you say you were excited to meet Athena? Come on, say hello."
Josie glanced at Athena, mumbled a barely audible "Hi, Sister," and quickly ducked back into hiding.
Maria couldn't help but chuckle. "Is our little one feeling shy again? Don't worry, Josie. Athena is awesome. You don't need to be shy around her."
Josie responded by burying her face against Maria's waist, murmuring a soft "Mm" without looking up.
