Chapter 377 - Baby Shower Party (One)
On the other line, Hailee hurls a deep breath. The royals and country leaders must secure their safety above all. This is Hailee's thoughts.
But of course, she's also prioritizing all of their guests, which is Vince's family. ,
"Shun... I'm thinking of talking to my knights to send them out in picking out and escorting the most important people attending my wedding. But this ans there's no bachelor party for the boys."
"I don't mind." Behind Hailee is Vincent, carrying a glass of sparkling water, and he placed a tallic gold straw and handed it to Hailee. "My bachelor party is not needed. Besides, the boys are already having fun today."
Hailee smiled at how understanding Vince was. She indeed wants them to have fun as it's also the best ti for Vincent to mingle with her knights, but there are more priorities to make everything perfect on her wedding day.
"Thank you, hubby," said Hailee to Vince after she drank half of the glass. Then, she said, "Shun, you heard that, right?"
"Yes," Shun replied from the other line. "After the baby shower, I will assemble all my team and your knights for a brief eting."
"Alright, Shun. Thanks for the help."
"What are you talking about? We are family. Always rember that."
"Yes, I am. And I'm so grateful for this family."
"So am I," Shun concurred while his eyes locked on his wife, who was staring at him charmingly. Shun leaned over to brush his lips on top of Cassandra. He then spoke again to Hailee. "Alright. Leave everything to us. Stop overthinking, okay? Have a rest now. Everyone is looking forward to the baby shower later."
"Okay, Shun. I can't wait! Bye!"
After her talk with Shun, Hailee feels relaxed. She must trust everyone and calm down.
"I'll prepare your bath." Vince places a light kiss on her forehead before he walks toward the bathroom.
"Thanks, hubby."
Vincent was taking a shower while Hailee soaked in the tub, sipping tea. He scrubs his whole body thoroughly before he joins Hailee.
Hailee quickly snuggled Vince and buried her head between his shoulder and neck. Vincent smiled and watched the sleepy woman inside his arms. Hailee constantly yawned, showing how tired she was today.
"You can take a nap. There's plenty of ti before the tea party begins," said Vincent.
Hailee humd, moaning in satisfaction after Vincent kneaded her back.
"Okay, hubby."
Since they threw a festive al today, they will only serve tea and desserts for the baby shower party, and it will start at 8:30 PM.
Vince is right. It's three in the afternoon, and she can have more ti to rest.
"I'll bath you now so that you can sleep on the bed."
"Hmm..." Hailee let Vince bathe her and help her dry her hair, and dress her up. After that, she hugged Vince while sleeping all afternoon.

8:30 in the evening... Everyone gathered in the adow Hotel Grand Hall.
The venue was decorated with pink and blue thes. On the corners are buffet tables neatly arranged with all kinds of desserts and salad to imagine.
"Gosh! After the food I ate for lunch, I felt guilty!"
"I'm actually worried that my bridesmaid's gown would not fit anymore! Gosh, only two days left and Hailee's wedding!"
"Ah! Those foods are tempting! I didn't control not eating as much as my belly can take!"
The girls keep complaining while they fix themselves so vegetable salad.
"I'll only have these!" said Hazel, scooping three serving spoons of coleslaw salad.
"Ugh. That mouse chocolate cake is tempting! Hazel, what are we going to do?" asked Liza, who fought the temptation to get a slice of strawberry black forest cake.
"Don't be a devil to !" Hazel groaned, looking at the next table with a drooling mouth.
She and Liza dropped jaws after Nadia filled her plate with sweets, then put a spoonful of mousse chocolate in her mouth in front of them. Obviously, Nadia is teasing them.
The girls sneered at Nadia. 'This little devil!' They hissed at her. Nadia has a huge appetite among them, and they envied her because she never gets fat and remains slender about how much she eats every day.
Not long after, the grand hall was now filled with Hailee and Vince's family and closest friends who first arrived in Dream City.
After they filled their plates with desserts, everyone sat down quietly.
Sheena and Jessa finally ca to the stage to start the most awaited baby shower.
Tonight they will reveal the gender of the three babies Hailee is growing inside her.
She and Vince were seated on the couch at the center, near the stage, and their in-laws were at the next table beside them.
Before revealing the gender, Sheena and Jessa threw a series of gas that most girls took part in.
"You girls are cheaters! You are just participating now when the floor is clean!" Jas complains at the back, and he instantly receives hundreds of murderous stares from the girls.
He laughed nervously and said, "Good luck, girls!"
Pitt and Carl smacked him on the back and scolded him. "You are an embarrassing junior!"
"That's not how to get a girl," Carl advised Jas. But he only received the guy's ridicule.
"How about you? You still have no girlfriend." Jas mocked Carl.
Carl throws a sharp glare at Jas. The corner of his mouth rose upward, sneering at the guy.
"Shut up! You are too noisy!" Rodney elbowed Jas. This guy does not know what Carl got through when he was still active in the mafia association, and only a few people understand why he retired early. "This party is for Vincent and Hailee's babies, so keep your mouth close!"
Jas cannot refute. Indeed, this party is for the cute babies he is excited to et soon. However, he has been thinking about this lately… If the babies look like Vincent, he will ignore them. But if the babies resemble their mommy, he would definitely dote them!
"What are you snickering about?" asked Pitt. Jas unconsciously grinned to himself, and he noticed his funny facial expression. It made him curious to know, and so he queried.
"Nothing! I just think if the babies would look like their mommy."
"Obviously, it will look like Vincent. Can't you see how clingy she is to our cousin?" Rodney interrupted Jas in his presumption.
"Tsh!" Jas ets Rodney's mocking glare and continues bantering at each other.
Pitt and Carl ignored these childish n and watched the party ga. Then Sheena announced the next ga.
"Now we will call anyone from the guests to co up to the stage and participate in our next ga? It's an easy ga, guys! Co on!"
"How about Hailee's friends?" Jessa points at her knights.
"Go, Jas! It's your ti to shine!"
Both Carl and Rodney kick him in the ass. But he will take his revenge. He grabbed the two n up to the stage.
"Now, we have enough players! The ga is… Let's see who could spot Hailee and big brother's baby photos!" Sheena announced gleefully. She then asked the crowd to calm down as she didn't finish yet. "Wait, I'm not done explaining the rules!"
"What? Are there rules again?" Jas complained. He was already excited to start the ga as he thought it would simply be picking out Hailee's baby photos.
"Yes, Jas! And our rules in the ga? Okay, who is Hailee's family, relatives or friends?" asked Sheena.
Jas, who first raised his hand, was followed by the other knights, Leo and Geoffrey, Vera, Kelly, and the other three younger girls. Hailee's distant relatives also took part.
"Alright! Vincent's family, friends, and relatives, please?" Jessa requested them to raise their hands and then go to the right side. "Now, on the left side are Hailee's team, and on the right side is Vicent's team!"
"I will explain our next ga. Look at the board at the back." Sheena gestured her hand, and two male servers ca to the stage and took the cloth covers off the two boards.
The first board is colored pink, and the other one is blue. Now, it displays countless baby photos of Hailee and Vincent, which the crowd gasps in astonishnt.
"That was a cute baby picture!" the crowd comnded.
"Wait… Which one are Hailee and Vincent?"
"Yay! I think that's Hailee's baby pic! She is too cute!" Hazel couldn't help getting closer to the pink board nad HAILEE.
"Okay, here's the rule! Vincent's team will pick out which are Hailee's baby photos! So it ans Hailee's team will pick out Vincent's baby photos! Who is the most correct baby picture they pick out will be announced the winner and will receive special prizes!"
After listening to Sheena's further explanation, the participants complain. How would they know who is Hailee and who is Vincent among the baby pictures?
"This is a scam! You just don't want us to win!" As usual, the first person to complain about is Jas. "Oh, wait! Rodney Lopez, is this you? You're so ugly!" The guy laughed in his stomach.
"Shut up, Jas!" Rodney roared at the guy for shaming him in front of everyone.
Leo and Geoffrey shared a glance, shaking their heads, both grabbing Jas by the arm. "Co here, Jas! The ga hasn't started yet!" It was Leo who scolded him.
"Can't you restrain yourself for once?" Geoffrey glared at him. Jas always embarrasses them in front of their friends and Vincent's family. This guy is out of control.
"Humph!"
Geoffrey sighed. He fixed his eyes on the blue board, then swept his gaze to the pink board to search for Hailee's baby photos. "Oh, isn't that your photo, Vera?"
Vera, who only stood quietly behind Geoffrey, was actually shocked that Geoffrey recognized her baby photo. She smiled at Geoffrey and shyly replied,
"Yes. I was surprised that they included my baby picture too."
"Hmm… You and Hailee have a few resemblances, and it was the best trick toward Vincent's team."
Vera looked at Geoffrey dazedly. There is a smile on his lips, and his face is brightened. Sohow, his praises give aches to her heart. He could determine the differences between her and Hailee, and it only proves how Geoffrey loves Hailee.
'I have no place in his heart..' Vera masked the hurt flash in her delicate face and buried the jealousy she felt at the bottom of her heart.
