Chapter 94: The Gender is….
Nana informed Mira with a warm smile, "You’ll have dinner before the baby shower begins." Mira nodded in response, her excitement barely contained as she watched Nana bow gracefully before leaving the room. The weight of the upcoming event was starting to settle in, filling her with a flutter of anticipation.
Mira finally stood up, her heart racing with excitement, and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. She took her time, enjoying the calming effect of the warm water on her face. Once she was done, she stepped back into her room, where her dress for the evening lay waiting for her.
She slipped into a soft, flowy blue gown, designed to accommodate her growing belly. The dress gently hugged her curves in a flattering but comfortable way, allowing her baby bump to stand out proudly. The fabric was light, draping smoothly over her figure, making her feel both elegant and at ease perfectly complementing her glowing demeanor.
Her long hair cascaded down her back in soft waves, adding to the elegance of her appearance. She stood in front of the mirror for a moment, admiring how the dress moved as she turned. The flowing fabric danced around her legs with each step, a perfect reflection of the excitement she felt inside.
Satisfied with her look, Mira left the room and began her descent down the grand staircase. From the upper landing, she had a full view of the beautifully decorated living room below—a stunning showcase of the mansion’s grandeur. Her breath caught in her throat as she took it all in. The space was adorned with pink and blue ribbons, twirling elegantly from the ceiling to the floor. Balloons in soft pastels floated around the room, creating a festive yet tasteful atmosphere.
In the center, the sofas were arranged perfectly, making the room feel cozy despite its size. To one side, a table with two chairs stood, likely for the upcoming baby shower games. Across from it, another table was filled with adorable toys and neatly wrapped gifts, all awaiting the celebration. The room was magnificent, every detail reflecting the joy and anticipation of the day.
As she reached the bottom of the stairs, Mira turned to Nana, her unspoken question clear in her eyes. Sensing Mira’s curiosity, Nana spoke up with a gentle smile. "Miss Lily went to get ready. The shower will begin in two hours, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy dinner first."
Mira nodded again, her gaze drifting back to the decorations. It was all so beautifully prepared, and yet, her excitement made it hard to focus on anything else. The event felt surreal, like a dream that had suddenly come to life. The thought of celebrating her baby with those closest to her was overwhelming, in the best possible way. But there was still time before the festivities began, so she quietly made her way to the dining table.
The spread before her was nothing short of amazing—an array of dishes, each more delicious-looking than the last. Yet despite the mouthwatering options, Mira found her appetite lacking. It wasn’t that the food didn’t look appealing; it was the excitement bubbling inside her, making it hard to focus on eating. There’s a certain kind of anticipation that can take away your hunger, and this was exactly one of those moments. But she knew she needed to eat, if only a little, to keep her strength up for the event ahead.
