294 Best Gift* (1/2)
The party was about to end, and everyone had a blast and an enjoyable celebration. The function hall was filled with laughter and good conversations, as the guests were indulged in all kinds of appetizing finger foods and beverages.
Keira excused herself while the guests were still there, saying that she was feeling a bit worn. She told Zach to stay behind to entertain the guests, and asked Lana to accompany her home.
”It's because of the pregnancy... She gets tired easily,” Zach explained his wife's early departure to their guests.
”We understand. I heard twins pregnancies are more difficult. It's double trouble! Honestly, I'm at a loss for words. General Lim is such an accomplished man, even when it comes to making babies,” commented Lieutenant Jiang that made everyone laugh.
At Zach and Keira's House…
”Gosh, Keira! What the hell!?” Lana gasped when she saw what Keira was showing her.
Keira giggled and said in a mischievous tone, ”Don't worry… I will give you one too when you get married! Your future husband will surely drool over you!”
”No, thank you… Don't you even dare... I'll throw it away,” Lana cringed. The thought made her bones chill.
”Hahaha… We'll see! Okay, off you go now... I need to prepare myself with this thing. Jim will bring you back to the party. Or home, if you're tired,” Keira laughed as she pushed her friend out of the room.
”The heck? You brought me here just to show off that freakish thing?” Lana complained.
”Yes! I brought you here and showed off that thing to inspire you to be more freakish! Since you're too rigid! Just look at May, her love life will blossom soon, while you... Geez… Learn from May for goodness sake! Or are you planning to be an old maid?” Keira nagged.
Lana laughed, seeing Keira's crumpled face, and decided to reassure her friend by confessing, ”Didn't Jeru tell you that I've already lost my first kiss? To a stranger at that?”
Keira's eyes widened as she excitedly questioned her best friend, ”What?! How!? Tell me…”
”Okay... but, later! Haha! I have to go, I'm sure your General will be on his way home soon! Bye-bye!” Lana teased before she quickly ran downstairs to escape.
Keira twitched her mouth but managed to shout out a threat before her friend completely disappeared from her sight, ”Call me, or I'll send this thing to you!”
At The Birthday Party Venue…
All the guests had left, and Zach could finally go home to celebrate the rest of his day with his wife only. He called Keira on his way back home, ”Did you get to rest? I'm going home now. Do you want anything? I can buy...”
Keira cut him off, ”No, just come home, I don't need anything...”
”Okay. See you soon, my star,” Zach said, before ending the phone call.
He truly enjoyed the birthday party that his wife had thrown for him. A smile never left his face.
