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.

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.

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.
