Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 478

478 Baby shower party

The garden was filled with family and friends, including Maverick’s business associates, fellow Celebrities, and even a few fans made it to the party

The garden wasn’t overly decorated; it was designed with different types of colors of balloons and flowers but with blue and pink as the background.

A section was preserved for food and drinks, while the huge cake was placed on a table.

Ahead was a maze, made with pruned shrub plants.

Nothing serious was going on when Jeslyn and her husband arrived. Most of the guests had a glass of drinks in hand while bonding with one another.

People walked around the food section. Some were eating dessert and others choosing to eat snacks.

There were only a handful of tables beautifully arranged. With how few the tables and chairs were, It is clear that the party wasn’t one where sitting is recommended.

Jeslyn shook her head with a bitter smile. Is this what her sisters–in–law wanted to do? To make guests grow tired?

Seeing everyone doing their thing like they cared not if there weren’t seats, Jeslyn shrugged. Who is she to care when the guests had smiles on their faces as they mingled?

She could hear the sound of classic piano in the background but the only thing her senses captured was the whiff of desserts. Not even the fresh smell of flowers meant a thing to her.

She ditched her husband, whom people were starting to gather around and headed straight for the row of desserts.

“Hey, Jeslyn! Here!” Beverly waved her hand when she saw Jeslyn heading to the ‘wrong‘ direction.

“OK!” Jeslyn responded without looking at the direction her name came from. The only thing on her mind right at that moment was a sundae dessert.

“Good morning, Ma’am!” The servants greeted her when she arrived.

“Hm,” she responded and grabbed a Sundae dessert. Ready to leave, a stranger came rushing to her.

“Ms. Jeslyn! I’m your biggest fan!” She stretched out a pen and paper, “please, can you sign for me?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Jeslyn looked at the gorgeous lady who looked a bit older than her, then looked at her right hand that held her dessert, then smiled nervously.

The lady immediately understood and smiled. “OK, I’ll come back.”

Jeslyn nodded, “I’ll be expecting you…What’s the name?”

“Lady Sabrina. But you can call me, Sabrina.” The lady smiled. 2

Jeslyn thought for a moment, then said, “you know what, let me.” She put her dessert on the table and took the pen she was offered by Sabrina and gave her the autograph.

“There you go,” Jeslyn said and gave her back the paper.

“Thank you, thank you so much, Ms. Jeslyn.”

“Jeslyn. You’re quite older than me, so call me Jeslyn.” She smiled and took her dessert to start eating.

There were lots of people coming around here and what she didn’t want was for another fan to come running over for an autograph. When would she be able to eat her dessert if that happens again.

Thinking of the dessert, she immediately chunked down a spoonful. Her first bite sent her mood spinning in the lake of joy!

She took a deep and satisfied breath, then smiled at Sabrina, who couldn’t contain her wonder. “Eating what you crave has a fantastic feeling to it,” she said it so casually that Sabrina and the servants behind them couldn’t help laughing.

“I don’t know what to say after seeing you in person. On TV, you give us the vibe of a carefree little lotus. So some of us thought you were kind of pretending. But now, I can vouch for you that you aren’t a white lotus.”

“Hm,” Jeslyn nodded, then continued. “You must either be my doubting fan or an anti–fan. Which one of them are you?”

“Hahaha! You should know better. If I were an anti–fan, I would have been looking for ways to sabotage your party, not seeking for an autograph,” she chuckled.

“You speak like an anti–fan, or a doubting fan. I don’t know. But actually, the party isn’t mine but my baby’s. Meaning, you’d be the most heartless person if you ruined an unborn baby’s party.”

“Hahaha…true, you’re so cute. But fortunately, I love baby girls. Cute little baby girls. So, I don’t have such motives to ruin the little one’s party, I promise,” she smiled. 1

Jeslyn frowned. “You sound like you have other motives. Also, who told you I’m having a baby girl?”

The stranger beamed. “Correct, my motive was to come see if you were pretending to be nice on TV. But you were very nice and welcoming. So I have nothing bad to say. But rather, you’ve won me over.

“As for how I knew the baby’s gender, your husband and son are wearing pink shirts. Alpha Chaos doesn’t like colored outfits. So it is weird that he suddenly decided to wear pink today of all days. That’s a dead giveaway, don’t you think so?“.

Jeslyn chuckled. “You’re indeed very observant, I like that.”

The lady stretched her hand, “Nice to finally meet you in person, Jeslyn. I’m happy I did.” (1)

Jeslyn took the handshake and responded, “the pleasure is mine.”

“Would you mind,” Jeslyn invited her to eat dessert.

“You’re so kind. I’ll approach the table,” Sabrina smiled.

“Alright then, I shall excuse myself. My friends need my audience,” Jeslyn said before walking away.

The party continued harmoniously with gifts being piled up beside Jeslyn who had taken her seat with a white sash worn on her.

Two ladies that Jeslyn never thought she’d see anytime soon appeared, with gifts.

“Congratulations, Jeslyn.” Emma smiled.

“Emma, Ava!” She bolted up, filled with surprise with a tinge of joy.”

“You look flushed like you’ve seen your ex–love,” Ava chuckled.

“Still such a baby!” Emma teased. “I’ve been watching you eating dessert like your life depended on it.”

“Hahaha!… You two are still such bullies. When will you change?”

“Why would we change when it comes to you?” Emma raised a brow.

“I’m so mad right now. So if your husband hadn’t invited us, you wouldn’t have. Is that so?” Ava folded her hands on her chest.
