"Ah, that's my other cousin," Victor said to Venice.
"Your other cousin? Then that means he's also my uncle?" Venice innocently asked.
"Yes, both you and Venedict. He's your uncle," Victor confirmed, then glanced at Venedict.
Venedict was caught off guard by Victor's mention of his name, prompting him to quickly look away, as he hadn't anticipated being addressed directly. Moreover, he felt uneasy hearing his name spoken with affection.
With a serious expression, he turned to look at their uncles instead.
As he did, he noticed a man he didn't know approaching them. The man was accompanied by Thomas and Zen.
"Hi, Venedict and Venice! You both look so adorable today. Especially you, Venedict, because you're starting to resemble your dad even more," Thomas remarked as he approached Venedict, aiming to pinch his cheek.
"Don't touch me!" Venedict swiftly turned his face away, evading Thomas' attempt to pinch his cheek.
