Chapter 702
Chapter 702 Prank
Because of the words that Shawn saidst night, I couldn''t help but worry. Nevertheless, I was
confident that he wouldn''t make me worry during our babies'' first birthday party. He would do his best
to keep the whole event under control. Even if something did happen, he would keep me out of it.
"It''s just the matters I mentionedst night. I''ll deal with them after the birthday party. Don''t worry about
it, Ray. I have my ns."
He was Shawn Xenos. He was powerful; he was in control of everything; he was a hunter with a gun;
and he was also my husband. Hence, I had to trust him with all my heart.
"Okay. I trust you."
"Papa!" River called out from the bed.
Shawn put away his phone and picked her up. Since she was a child, she looked like a little ball in
Shawn''s arms.
River hugged his neck and kissed his cheek. Well, it couldn''t really be called a kiss but more like a bite.
Her teeth were not strong enough to bite him yet, but she left some saliva on his face. Watching them, I
suddenly felt emotional. The man I used to think only I could kiss now had his heart set on another girl.
And this girl… was someone I loved more than myself.
I was willing to protect her with my life.
Perhaps that was the power of family bonds.
Meanwhile, Shawn held River up and put her on the carpet. The one-year-old child crawled on the floor
and asionally stood up and took a few steps. Shawn looked at her with a fascinated expression
while spreading his arms and encouraging her, "Come to Daddy."
Shawn was less than three feet away from the child. River wobbled and eventually stumbled into his
arms. Her nose identally hit his chin, and perhaps it hurt too much, she started bawling. Shawn
looked at me helplessly before picking up River, who was crying. Then, he slid her into my arms.
With pursed lips, he muttered, "She''s making a fuss."
Whileforting River, I remarked, "You made the child cry and you me her for making a fuss?
There, there, River. Don''t cry. Let me take a look at where it hurts."
Shawn exined, "That''s not what I meant."
I knew very well that he wasn''t great at soothing children.
It took me a long time to calm River down before she stopped crying. After a while, the nannies came
upstairs and took the two children away. Shawn went to the bathroom to freshen up and came out
wearing a ck formal suit.
The white cuffs on his wrist were slightly longer than his ck sleeves and were ornamented with a
gold button on each side. This suit was tailor-made for him. Then, I picked up the rolled-up ck tie
and handed it to him. After wearing it on his neck, he opened the drawer and picked a mechanical
watch to match his outfit today.
Shawn had aplete collection of ties and watches.
After that, I offered, "Do you want me to style your hair?"
He nced at me and inquired, "Can you do it?"
"I''ll give it a try. Since today''s asion is formal, I''ll style your hair in a mature way. No bangs in front.
How about that?"
I wasn''t bad at styling. Well, at least I didn''t ruin his hair. When he stood up, he looked sophisticated
and emitted an aura that kept people at a distance. The glow radiating from him was dazzling and was
even capable of making people yearn for him.
Yes, he was an outstanding man.
"You look amazing, Sunny," I sincerelyplimented.
He hummed in response before adding, "I''ll be away for a few hours. Mr. Briar will be here soon."
"Be careful," I reminded.
"Don''t worry about it. I''ll stay safe."
Shawn lowered his head and kissed the top of my head while uttering affectionately, "Although it''s our
children''s first birthday, you were the one who worked hard for the past few days. I have a gift for you
that I''m sure you''ll love."
Hearing that, I asked with a grin, "What is it?"
A pleased smile appeared on his lips. "Be patient and wait until Ie back."
After saying that, he left the room.
What on earth? He said he would give me a gift but deliberately kept me in suspense.
Soon after Shawn left, Kevin and Diego arrived at the vi with Aimes. As usual, Aimes had an aloof
and egotistic look on his face as he tagged behind Kevin silently. Then, Kevin passed the gifts intended
for Skyler and River on behalf of him.
At that time, Ian was still sleeping, and since Serene was in the guest room with him, the boys didn''t
find it appropriate to disturb Ian.
After that, Amy arrived with Troy.
Then came Christopher and Emma.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
May came to the vi alone.
"Alfred is still caught up with work," she exined.
"Same goes for Shawn. Let''s not worry about them for now."
The living room was instantly filled with guests. Christopher got up and went to the piano room to
practice because he had a performance that night, and it was only yesterday that they decided to make
him do it.
Nevertheless, it wasn''t much of a challenge for him despite thest-minute decision.
Artists arrived one after another in the front yard where I personally went to greet them. Half an hour
later, Mr. Briar and Gary finally arrived, so I didn''t have to greet the artists outside anymore.
Waylen even informed me, "Mrs. Xenos, your dress will be ced in your room in a while. I''ll go and
entertain them first."
"Okay, Mr. Briar, you do your thing."
When I returned to the living room, Kevin was chatting enthusiastically with his friends. I took a seat
next to him and joined them. A whileter, Serene came downstairs. Noticing her, Kevin got up and
asked, "Where''s Ian?"
Serene pointed to the room and answered, "He''s still sleeping."
Kevin grinned upon hearing that before winking at Diego. "Alright, then. He can''t me us for doing
what we''re going to do. Who made him the only one we can tease?"
Diego immediately took the hint and asked, "Are we really going to cause trouble at the kids'' first
birthday banquet?"
"That makes it even more fun."
With that, he brought Aimes, Diego, and Troy upstairs. Troy hesitated for a while, which prompted Amy
to protect him. "You guys have fun, but don''t touch my boyfriend!"
Kevin went to the entrance and shouted, "Waylen!"
"Yeah?"
"We need your help."
Waylen came over to hear Kevin asking, "Is there a swimming pool in the backyard? We''re going to
throw Ian into itter!"
"Yes... there is."
Weren''t they taking the joke too far?!
Serene quickly chimed in, "Don''t do that, Kev."
"Don''t you dare wake Ian up, Serena," warned Kevin.
Grabbing his noise-canceling headphones, he went upstairs. He opened the door and quietly put the
headphones on Ian before he, Aimes, Diego, and Waylen each lifted a corner of the mattress and
slowly went downstairs.
Ian, who was sleeping in the middle of the bed, didn''t show the slightest signs of being awake.
The boys walked out through the back door and slowly ced the mattress on the swimming pool.
Gradually, the mattress floated to the center.
Serene couldn''t hold herughter beside me. "Ian is going to be furiouster."
I chuckled and quickly reassured her, "They always pull pranks on each other. Otherwise, Kevin
wouldn''t have dared to pull such a trick."
Meanwhile, Kevin grabbed a water hose and started spraying on the mattress, prompting Ian to wake
up in shock and look around with a bewildered expression.
As soon as he sat up, they immediately saw his underwear.
It was ck...
Ian''s bewildered gaze scanned past Amy, Troy, and us. Eventually, he settled his gaze on Kevin.
"What the f*ck!"
Ian leaped into the pool wearing only his underwear before grabbing hold of Kevin and tossing him into
the pool. Diego, being quick on his feet, escaped unharmed, but Waylen was also thrown into the pool,
unfortunately.
In a furious tone, Ian exploded, "Who else touched me?"
