My Wife is a Hacker

June couldn’t help but laugh, "He's too little right now. It will be a few months before he needs toys to help with hand-eye coordination. What's the rush?"

Lulu raised an eyebrow. "Who said I was rushing? Seems like you're the keen one, knowing all this. Nicole understands because she's a mom.

You're not yet, are you? Have you started looking this up?"

June's smile briefly stiffened as she awkwardly said, "I was just making a guess." "Really? Guessing about hand-eye coordination? You're quite the predictor," Lulu joked, playfully turning the tables on June after her earlier remark.

Nicole watched their friendly teasing, smiling, and feeling like they were back in their school days, enjoying each other’s company.

Eventually, they arrived at the mall and headed straight to the baby and maternity section, browsing for gifts.

As dusk settled and lights began to twinkle, Nicole returned home to find dinner preparations underway.

"Mommy!" Nolan and Lana ran to greet Nicole happily upon her return.

"What's that?" Lana asked curiously, eyeing the bags Nicole was carrying.

"Gifts for everyone," Nicole explained, placing the bags on the coffee table.

While shopping for gifts for Sally and Lucian with June and Lulu, Nicole had spotted some items perfect for her family and picked them up as well.

"Wow, I want to see!" Lana was eager to peek inside the bags.

Nicole opened the bags, took out the gifts, and displayed them on the coffee table. She handed Lana her gift. "Here's a princess dress for you." "Thank you, Mommy!" Lana joyfully took the dress upstairs to try it on.

"Please assist Lana," Gloria instructed the maid.

"Yes, ma'am." The maid followed Lana upstairs.

Nicole handed a dress to Gloria. "Mom, this is for you."

Gloria examined the dress, pleased with both the style and color. "Good, I'll save it to wear for Lucian's post-birth shower party." "That's settled then, wear it for the party," Daniel agreed.

Nicole smiled. "I just thought it suited you, so I bought it. You can wear it now, and we can get something else for the party when it's time."

After all, the post-birth shower was still a while away.

"But we'll need to shop again. This dress is perfect already," Gloria insisted, knowing time would fly by fast before the special occasion. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Mommy, can I go see Lucian?" Nolan tugged at Nicole, his face full of anticipation.

"Sure, we'll take you and Lana to see him during rest time," Nicole agreed, handing a box to Nolan, "This is for you." "Drone!" Nolan's excitement was evident. He had long wanted one but never mentioned it to Nicole. He was thrilled she had bought it for him without him asking.

Hugging the gift, Nolan rushed to the yard to try it out immediately.

Seeing Gloria about to make arrangements, the butler said, "I'll go with him, " and followed Nolan outside.

After Nicole distributing the other gifts and Lana trying on her new dress,

Lana heard about Nolan's drone and ran outside to see it.

"With the butler watching them, we can relax. Let's have dinner," Gloria suggested.
