The moment the little guy's eyes landed on the stranger standing in the room, the group of men couldn't hide their irritation. They glared at Cooper, who had just caught the toddler's attention, and one of them snapped, "What do you want?" Cooper put away his phone and looked at them cautiously. "And who might you all be?"

It looked like tensions were about to rise.

The only one unaffected was the little guy, who squealed with excitement.

As the standoff continued, Cooper bent down to pick up the child. Just as he was about to lift the boy, his wrist was grabbed by Conner. "That's my son you're about to lift. You need your hand or not?" "That bundle of joy is my sister's doing, my sister's raising."

Mars, puzzled, called out, "Cooper?"

Cooper looked towards him. "You know me?"

Cooper, Andre's brother-in-law. Conner had heard of him, and he let go immediately.

"Looks like we all know each other here. We're friends of your brother-in-law, godfathers to Henry."

Cooper then successfully scooped up his much-missed nephew, who was as soft, fragrant, and adorable as he imagined. Without any hesitation or care for his image, he planted a kiss on the child's face. The little one was stunned.

Soon, the group of men shifted their attention back to coddling and fussing over the little treasure.

Mia excused herself to the powder room, leaving the crowd waiting in the living room.

"Anya, where's your aunt?" Mia asked.

The innocent little Ning, holding Molly's bouquet, responded, "Auntie, Uncle had to change into his groom's suit, so Auntie kicked us all out here."

"That would mean you all need to scoot."

Molly wasn't too keen on sharing Chad with anyone else, even if it was just a fraction.
