How could the fl even see the ml in that way. This is so weird…

wdym, i thought she sees him as her nephew?

FL doesn't see him in a romantic light, she sees him as a child that's why she keeps treating him like that. But she's often caught off guard when she realize that the ML is already not a child but an adult. But since he's the ML author will make the FL see him as a man at some point of the story. But as of now, not yet.
