Chapter 910 - Secret Blessings (2/2)

Nora stared at her for a minute longer before adding, ”What about temperament? Do you want the baby to be calm like Darren? Or a little volcano-like his mother, Xiu?”

Darren wrapped his arm around Xiu's shoulder and said, ”Let's meet in the middle. Having too much of my calmness won't be good for him. And being a little volcano-like his mother would also not be that good.”

”I agree. No one would want to bear another version of you both.”

”Nora, stop being snarky!” warned Xiu.

Nora stuck her tongue out at her playfully before they continued to talk about the baby's smile, hair color, etc.

After that, Nora passed cards to everyone in the room. Then she instructed, ”Now, I have given everyone three cards each. I want you all to either write a blessing for the baby. A word of wisdom for the parents or you can write whatever's on your mind. In fact, you can use all these cards so you can do whatever you want.”

”And after we are done with that?” asked Xin Zimen since the question was on everyone's mind.

Nora pointed at the camellia tree in the corner and explained, ”Then we'll hang those cards with a golden ribbon on that tree.”

”Why that tree?” questioned Xiu.

”Because I'll plant that tree filled with everyone's blessings outside our little tiger's window. It'll grow along with the little tiger. Not only our little tiger will watch the tree grow, but even the tree will also our little tiger grow.”

Xiu was momentarily silent because of Nora's idea. ”But these cards filled with blessings won't stay there forever.”

Nora smiled at her, ”I know. That's why we'll save the cards in a special place. That way, our little tiger will be able to see how blessed he is once he finds it.”

”You're just making trouble,” said Xiu but still picked up the marker to write on the card.

Not just her, everyone else did as well. They all wrote as they were told. When Xiu was done, she looked around and was actually a little taken aback to see how everyone was earnestly writing a blessing for her son. It felt so great that she didn't even know how to describe this feeling.

She touched her stomach and thought, 'Son, you're really loved. I might get jealous of you.'

The love she had yearned for, she was happy to see that these people were here to offer that love to her son. Of course, they all loved her as well. But it was different. She was past that age where she cried for love. However, her son's life was yet to begin.

”Are we supposed to read it out?” asked Zhao Huan.

”No!” said Nora. ”For now, we'll keep that as a secret.” She took out a rectangular box and asked everyone to put their cards in, ”I hope you all signed your cards.” She joked around as she collected the cards from everyone and closed the box before passing it to the maid.

”Now, what are we supposed to do?”

”Now, we eat!” answered Xiu. Nora gave her a look and Xiu added, ”Didn't you say we'll eat after two activities. We're already done. That means it's food time!”

”Xiu, you've already eaten,” reminded Nora as she pointed at the two empty plates before her.

Xiu looked aggrieved, ”That didn't even manage to cushion my stomach.”

”Alright, alright! I think we should really eat now,” suggested Xin Zemin.

Nora rolled her eyes when she heard that, ”Don't fall for her acting.”

”Even if she is acting, we'll still happily become the fools,” said Xin Zimen. ”But we don't want to see her sad. So, my future daughter-in-law, have some mercy on our daughter. We'll continue once she is done eating.”

Nora ġrȯȧnėd and fell down on the sofa, ”Fine! Do whatever you want!”

Ah-Si rubbed her head to soothe her but it had no effect on Nora.

”If we continued at this pace, our surprise will go down the drain!”

Xiao Li was sitting on her other side as he said, ”It won't. This day is for her. If she is happy with eating rather than doing activities, then let her be.”

Nora scoffed, ”And then she says she is getting fat. Who wouldn't be fat after eating so much?”

Xiao Li coughed beside her, ”For now, I'll look over the fact that you called my sister fat. But I hope there is no next time.”

Nora gaped at him, ”Awesome! I'm again at fault here!”
