"Wendy, what are you staring at? Your eyes are glued to him." Regina forcefully pulled Wendy aside.

"Mom! Look at that man... He's so handsome! I've never seen anyone with such a magnificent face!" Wendy exclaimed with innocent excitement.

"Alright, alright. You're the daughter of a wealthy family. Don't act like you've never seen men. Even the most handsome man has only two legs," Regina scolded softly, but she couldn't help glancing at Axel out of the corner of her eye.
