The Manoban twins were on the carpet playing with their rattling and squeaking toys while the Kwon twins were cooing at each other in the crib.
Each of the babies reacted differently to the visitors.
Levi liked good-looking people. He was drawn to René Alejandro right from the start. Even so, he was still cautious at the stranger and didn't smile too much. He just stared at René Alejandro and ignored Randy for the most part.
Liam only gave them a cursory glance before returning to his toys. He was still a baby but he already inherited his father's usual indifference to a tee.
Like Levi, Little Misha seemed to be interested at the visitors. But unlike Levi, Little Misha was more drawn to the flamboyant Randy than at René Alejandro. It was mostly because of the Zumba instructor's bright, neon-coloured clothing. The baby's interest in the visitors only lasted for a short while before he ignored them.
Last but not the least, Little Dima had a more extreme reaction than his eldest brother and cousins but actually quite normal for babies. He cried as soon as he saw the strangers. Jisoo was quick to pick him up and comfort her baby.
René Alejandro already had an idea about each of the babies' personalities based on their reactions. Among them, he had the highest chance of becoming closer to the eldest, Levi.
The baby also resembled Chaerin. Maybe this was one of the reasons why René Alejandro felt confident about this particular baby. He needed to observe more. If Levi also resembled his maternal grandmother's personality and not just appearance, then René Alejandro was sure that he could make the baby like him.
First attempt.
"Hello, Levi," he greeted in his gentlest and friendliest tone. "I'm Uncle René."
Little Levi stared at him.
So far so good.
The baby's full attention was on him.
René Alejandro took a squeaky toy and squeezed it in front of the baby. "You want this toy, yes?"
Little Levi reached for it. René Alejandro planned on teasing the baby a little and try playing with him so he moved the toy out of reach.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated Little Levi's seeming openness to him. He didn't expect Little Levi's expression to crumple so suddenly. Then a loud wail filled the nursery.
René Alejandro panicked inside. He wasn't used to dealing with babies this young. He tried salvaging the situation by directly handing the damn squeaky toy to the wailing baby but Little Levi slapped it away in distress.
Jennie swooped down and immediately started comforting her baby in her arms. Little Levi cried on his mother's chest and continued wailing in an aggrieved manner.
On the carpet, the indifferent Little Liam was no longer indifferent. He finally made a scene. He threw the rattle that he had been playing at the strange man who made his brother cry. Then he also began wailing at the top of his lungs. Unlike his elder twin brother's aggrieved cries, his wails were furious.
At the moment, three of the babies were crying at the same time.
Little Misha wasn't crying at first but when Little Liam started his angry wailing, he must have decided that it was fun to join the others so he wasn't the only one left out.
And so the three crying babies became four crying babies.
René Alejandro was speechless.
Although the mothers didn't seem to blame him, the nannies and even Randy did. They threw him accusing looks.
