"Hehe. Don't be alarmed. The car Mr Roman mentioned is a toy car for kids. Mr Roman ordered it, and it will be delivered tomorrow," Keith explained. Brick let out a sigh of relief, prompting Day to gently shake Brick's head back and forth.

"A toy car?" little Ob asked upon hearing Keith speak.

"That’s right, Ob, but it will arrive tomorrow," Keith replied. Ob ran over to cling to Day and Brick, who were sitting side by side.

"Daddy, Papa, Ob's tired already," Ob told them both with a smile. Brick pinched his son’s chubby cheeks gently with affection.

"If you keep listening to Ob, he'll start speaking like a giant when asking to wait for the car." Nick joked.

"I think I'm worse, Nick. From being an uncle to turning into a mosquito," Kamol chimed in. Hearing this, Ob ran over to cling to Kamol’s leg.

"Mosquito, I’m tired already," Ob said to Kamol, causing everyone to burst into laughter since Kamol had just jokingly said that Ob called him a mosquito.

"Brick, I think you should take Anda inside to sleep," Kim suggested, worried that Roman's arms might get tired since little Anda was sleeping on his lap.

"Oh right, let me take Anda inside to sleep for a bit," Brick said to Roman. Roman gently handed little Anda to Brick. The child moved a little before Brick carried him into the house. Ob followed closely behind, with Night also accompanying them to help Brick.

"By the way, isn’t it usual for Day to be the one to carry Anda when feeding him?" Neil remarked, recalling that everyone knew how attached Anda was to Day, except for Roman and Keith, who had just met their nephew for the first time.

"Why is that?" Keith asked, curious. Gear explained that Anda tended to be more fussy than Ob and often cried when sleepy or hungry, and the only one who could make him stop crying was Day.

"But as he started to grow, he seems to fuss less now. Those first couple of months were the toughest," Gear said with a smile.

"What are you smiling at? Are you happy that your nephew is sleeping in your lap without fussing?" Keith teased Roman when he saw him smiling slightly.

"You're quite observant," Roman replied, making Keith laugh, and others smiled as well, not expecting the mafia, rumored to be cold-hearted, to smile just because a small child was asleep on his lap.

"Oh wow, I think when Anda grows up, he might end up being a hundred times cuter!" Nan teased Roman. Roman chuckled softly.

"Mr Roman, don’t you want to have children of your own? I believe they would be adorable, especially mixed with an Asian partner's genes. We could get another half-Asian nephew," Kim chimed in. Everyone looked at Roman and Keith with interest.

"What do you think?" Roman unexpectedly asked Keith.

"I'm fine either way, it's up to you. Honestly, just raising a nephew isn’t so bad, but if you really want to have kids, we can talk about it... way more later," Keith responded, knowing full well that he wasn’t equipped to raise a child like Brick was. He could play and bond with his nephews because he didn't need to take care of them all the time, and he had work responsibilities with the Vasilio and Accardo families. He was afraid he wouldn’t have enough time to take care of his child and didn’t want to leave them too much in the hands of a caretaker.

"What about you, Mr Kamol? Don’t you want kids? I’m sure you and Kim would be great dads," Gear chimed in, making Kim blush slightly.

"Well, actually, we’ve talked about it a bit, but we are still looking for a surrogate mother," Kamol replied.
