Meanwhile, Alexis and Laura were bonding well. Edwin might have felt jealous of Laura and Alexis’ rapport if Alexis wasn’t a woman as well as his cousin.
He sat beside Laura, putting his arm around her, suggesting they watch cartoons together.
Alexis playfully teased, “Edwin, you’re an adult.

Alexis then attempted to change the channel.
Edwin playfully snatched the remote back, saying, “Laura Loves watching this!”

Alexis giggled, playfully resting her chin on her hand as she teased, “Oh, so it’s for Laura, huh?”
She then generously tossed the remote control to Edwin, jesting, “In that case, I’ll let you take charge!”

Edwin glanced over at Leonel, who sat off to the side.
Leonel tinkered with an old record player, seemingly preoccupied, only briefly pausing his actions.
