Just before the birthday banquet started, Quentin Thorne, Melinda Linton, and Seth Sutton arrived. Sienna Thornton was playing with little Victor and her friends when she saw her family come in, and quickly went over to greet them.
Quentin Thorne eagerly picked up his grandson, teasing him, and taught little Victor to call Melinda Linton: "Grand—ma—!"
Little Victor imitated him with enthusiasm: "Gran…ma…" After calling out, he happily burrowed into Quentin's neck, who lifted the child higher.
Seth Sutton approached from behind Quentin, teasing little Victor: "Call uncle!"
The pronunciation of "uncle" was difficult for little Victor, who could only stammer: "Un—cle—"
Seth Sutton observed the drooling little Victor: "This kid really looks like his dad!" He remarked, looking around the banquet hall: "Where's Simon Forrester?"
"He's entertaining friends." Sienna Thornton said, reaching to hold Mina Thorne's hand, "How's the baby lately?"
