Surpised Encounter (2)

Everyone turned their attention to the confused Alex.

Simon was the first to respond. But he didn't answer Alex. Instead, he asked Mel, "You haven't told him yet?" 

Mel answered with a gentle shake of her head.

Alex was growing increasingly confused. His gaze alternated between Simon and Scarlett, looking intently at their eye and hair colors. It didn't take long for him to notice their resemblance.

He had encountered Scarlett several times before, but on each occasion, this girl appeared to change her appearance, making it challenging for him to discern her actual look. Now, he was confident that this was Scarlett's original appearance, and seeing her side by side with Simon, he was convinced they were related.

"Don't tell me... Are you two really siblings?" Alex asked, still struggling to believe his own words.
