After Ethan gave a masterclass on how to hold a baby, it was the grandparents' turn. Marcus, not wasting a second, held little Isabelle in his arms. The moment he looked at her, he knew she was the spitting image of his daughter, the same baby girl he had met just over two years ago.

"Hello, princess! How's the most beautiful little girl? My girl, you're gorgeous! Your grandpa's here to protect you-even from your parents," he said, half-joking as he bickered with Valerie, who also wanted to hold her granddaughter.

"Marcus...! Let me hold my little baby...! Come on! Stop hogging her. Besides, you also have Caroline and Albert-don't be so selfish!"

"Yeah, but they're my kids. This beautiful baby is my granddaughter."

Valerie gave him a look, not really understanding what he meant.

"It's the same thing!" she said, still confused by his comment.

"No, of course not! I can discipline them, but this little princess? No way. She's meant to be spoiled and pampered."

"I don't know where you get that from, but come on, hand her over," said Valerie, trying to take Isabelle from his arms.

"Serenity! Look at your father-he won't let me hold my own granddaughter!" Valerie called out, accusing her possessive husband.

"Dad, come on, let Mom hold Isabelle. Besides, everyone wants a turn," said Serenity, trying to reason with him.

"They can come another day! I didn't get to spend enough time with this cutie yesterday."

"Dad..."

Someone cleared their throat-Peter, waiting patiently for his turn.

"Marcus, my friend, hand over my granddaughter. Since I'm practically Serenity's father and I am Alden's father, that gives me more grandpa ranking than the three of us combined, so I should get to hold her."
