Chapter 884 Game

Chapter 884 Game

The party finally resumed after so many hiccups and interruptions.

Butler Charles and a female maid took over the stage, so Kelly and Abi can be with their husbands. Also, that way, they would be able to join in the games that were prepared for the guests.

The first game finally started with the giving of instructions from Butler Charles.

The maids distributed a sheet of paper and pen to all the ladies. The rule was that the ladies needed to write the things that their partner will whisper to them. Of course, they had put on headphones – with music playing and a special magic cast to counter the vampire's superb hearing abilities of course – on the male's ears to avoid overhearing what the others are saying.

"Cheating on the part of the ladies will result in an instant loss, okay, ladies? You should only write what your partner will say. Each couple will have a maid right behind you guys to be on the watch. Like we announced a while ago, the winner will have a prize and loser pair will be punished. The details on the punishments will be revealed later." Charles announced with much fanfare. "Alright… at the count of three, the males will need to tell their partners as many things they know of what a baby need. Three, two, one… and start!"

Lucas and Lilith's bodyguard named Mia were one of the most relaxed ones because well, surprisingly, the ginger-head was not even having hard time at all. In fact, he was even grinning as he spouted all those things with such ease, that Mia wondered to herself if the vampire was actually a father himself!

Kelly and Kai on the other hand, were having a bit of a hard time as Kai was struggling to find the right words or the name of those baby things. Kelly's eyes were large as she tried her best to encourage her husband to say more. She was smiling in disbelief as she did not know that this man of hers would actually end up having a hard time with this topic. "Come on, baby, you can do it. This number of things are still too little. Think of more." She pointed to her list on the paper and kept on encouraging him.

The next pair, Kyle and Lilith however, looked like they were in a massive pinch. Lilith knew a lot about this topic, while Kyle was completely clueless. One hundred percent blank. He did not even seem to know that little sucker like thing you put into the baby's mouth to calm them down was called a pacifier. "Is this… really all that you know, Kyle? I mean… come on! You should at least know more than five items that are related to baby needs right??" Lilith exclaimed rather exasperatedly as he watched her lips, lipreading what she was trying to tell him.

"Haah!! This is pretty easy!" Alex on the other hand, was all smug and showing off as he looked down at the long list of materials Abi had listed. "It's already set on who's the winner here. Now I can't wait to see who's going to be punished. I'm guessing it should be Zeke." He announced loudly and chuckled. Abi could only discreetly pinch her cheeky husband in his side, wordlessly telling him to shut it.

The next pair, Iryz and Zeres were pretty much an exact copy of Lilith and Kyle. Only that Iryz was not as frustrated as Lilith was, since she too, struggled to think of all the things that were related to babies and their needs. She was pressing her lips together tightly though, trying hard not to giggle out loud as she watched Zeres looking like he was in a horrible dilemma and his face twisted in some kind of unknown agony.

Last but not the least pair, Alicia and Zeke were actually completely relaxed. So contrary to what Alex was expecting and imagining, Zeke almost looked like some king who was just spouting out mundane names without a hint of struggle at all while it was Alicia, who was struggling a little as she was trying to keep up with writing down all the listed words, nonstop.

"Aaaand… time's up!" Charles said as he pressed on the air horn, signalling the end of this first challenge and the maid collected the papers and brought it to the stage.

The men removed their headphones. Each one had a different expression decorating their faces. From neutral looking to unbothered to expecting loss to a smug look.

"Our winner is… Ezekiel-Alicia pair. Let's give them an applause!!" Charles announced after the tally was done.

Alex started and shot his gaze over to Zeke. "What?!!!" he literally roared.

Zeke did nothing but shrug and lifted a brow at him.

"Oh, damn it! I forgot that smart ass guy used to work in the hospital!" Alex ran his hands through his hair as everyone clapped and cheered.

A maid approached Alicia and Zeke's table and put a box before them as their reward.

"And the loser is…"

Zeres, Kai and Kyle's faces were pinched and looked as though they were waiting to hear the announcement for their life sentence.

"Kyle-Lilith pair, and Zeres-Iryz pair." Charles announced with a wide grin this time.

Kai immediately looked at Kelly with a shocked face before jumping up and cheering in relief, causing his wife to laugh at his childish actions, while Kyle and Zeres face palmed and groaned out loud.

"Kyle and Zeres are tied." Charles announced. "Please come over to the stage, Kyle and Zeres." Butler Charles had the two stood facing each other.

"Your punishment is… to pick a card. However, the two of you need to pick the same card." Charles stated the rules.

Zeres and Kyle looked up at each other before looking down at the box that held the cards. Then they put their hands simultaneously inside the box. In one try, they both held the same card and gave it to Charles.

Charles opened the card and read the words inside it aloud. "You are going to have to dance with your partner the whole time until the next game is over. P.S. the pair are not allowed to choose the song that they will dance to."
