Chapter 910 - Secret Blessings (1/2)
”Sweets, how can you say you don't want our son?” argued Darren. ”Parents should always accept their kids even with their flaws. After all, it's not like we as parents are without any flaws. So, we should not expect our kids to be perfect either. We should just accept them as they are.”
Xiu narrowed her eyes at her husband who seemed to be preaching words of wisdom at the moment. It seemed those parenting books were really getting to him.
”The least I'm asking of him is to have the same eyes like my husband. Is it too much to ask for?” Xiu retorted.
Darren looked at her helplessly, ”But that's something not in our control. And neither can our son control it. Besides, I think he'd look just as awesome with your eyes.”
Xiu shook her head, ”No! He has to have grey eyes.”
While Darren rubbed his forehead, Nora was tired of watching them bicker over this.
”You know what,” began Nora. ”Let's not have the parents decide on baby's traits. Allow baby's favorite aunt to take this job.” She grinned proudly, ”And that's me. Give me a round of applause everyone.”
Oddly enough, everyone did follow her lead to gave her a round of applause, allowing Nora to bask in this moment. But soon, Ying stopped Han Bohai and Xiao Li from clapping and stood up.
”Hey! Why do you forget that I'm also gonna be baby's aunt? What makes you think you're gone be the favorite one?”
”Because I'm gonna shop for him.”
Ying scoffed at Nora, ”Boys don't like shopping. If anything, he'd like me more. I'm the cool aunt around here.”
”What cool? You're just an emotional mess!” retorted Nora.
”As if you're any better!” Ying shot back.
And then this continued back and forth, Xiu munched on the snacks that Zhao Huan brought for her while she enjoyed this live show. This was certainly fun. She didn't think this baby shower would be so entertaining from the beginning.
Seeing her evil grin, Darren wiped the corners of her mouth that had the remnants of the food she was eating as he asked, ”Are we having fun?”
”Very much,” answered Xiu.
Darren shook his head at her and also leaned back to see who would come out victorious. His son wasn't even born and there was a fight over who would be the favorite aunt, he wondered what would happen once this baby comes to this world. Will he even get a chance to spend time with his own son?
Meanwhile, Dylan turned to Cali and nudged her, ”Aren't you gonna make a stand for yourself?”
Cali gave him a glance, ”I don't have to. Once the baby is here, we'd all know who is the victorious one.”
Dylan gaped at her in disbelief. He thought she was mȧturė enough to stay out of this petty argument but it seemed he was being delusional.
”Nora!” Clara called out Nora harshly and Nora instantly stopped bickering. ”Is this really something to argue about?”
Nora puffed up her cheeks and stepped back but her eyes showed that she didn't accept defeat at all. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions and started again, ”Let's get back to the parents. Both of you better not start arguing now.” Nora warned as she glared at Xiu and Darren. ”And there is no need to play with my emotions. We have a lot of games planned for you. You really don't have to play me like this.”
Xiu giggled at her words and agreed with a nod.
”We won't talk about baby's eyes. Xiu already said she wants it to be grey. And we all know, Darren can't win this argument.”
Everyone laughed at Nora's words but also agreed with those words. Indeed, Darren could never win this argument especially since Xiu had already put her foot down.
”Then let's move on to his IQ!”
”Why are you skipping the other features of him?” questioned Ying.
”Because I want to,” retorted Nora. ”Now, let's talk about the IQ.” Seeing both of them quiet, Nora furrowed her brows, ”Xiu? Darren? What? You both don't want it to be like each other?”
”I think it'd be to have Dazi's IQ,” suggested Dylan from the side. ”He has always been the smart one.”
”What are you trying to say that my bestie isn't smart? Are you forgetting that your own company actually sought after her?”
Nora's words shut up Dylan instantly.
”I think Regi's IQ is fine,” said Xiu.
