Callum rubbed his cheek against Adora's neck and cooed, "Rara…"
"You're so light and adorable! From now on, I'll call you Beanie."
The little ones led the way, while the three adults and Asher followed behind.
The front yard of the Nicholls residence was already set up for the occasion.
Gabrielle had seen an online trend where parents placed various items around a baby during their first birthday to predict the child's future and personality. She thought it would be fun to let Callum try it out.
A small red carpet was spread out, covered with various items.
Books, pens, calculators, coins, bottles, cameras, and more were scattered around the edges.
Following Sheena and Nathaniel's instructions, Adora placed Callum in the center of the carpet.
Callum held tightly onto a lock pendant around Adora's neck and accidentally yanked it off.
The excitement around them was overwhelming, and Adora did not realize the pendant was gone.
As the segment began, Gabrielle, Marius, and Mildred each took a corner of the carpet, holding out small items to attract Callum's attention.
The one-year-old Callum, lying on the carpet, giggled as the adults played with him, slowly approaching Mildred.
Nathaniel noticed that Mildred was holding a calculator and felt pleased.
However, midway through his crawl, Callum suddenly stopped.
Overwhelmed by the noise and attention, he blinked his bright blue eyes, looking confused and innocent.
Facing everyone's gaze, Callum sat on the spot, ignoring the objects around him, and happily played with the lock pendant.
Noticing his father watching him, he held up the pendant and waved it toward Nathaniel.
The adults laughed and joked, "Looks like Callum has taken a liking to Adora's pendant."
Asher smirked and said, "He doesn't care about the lock pendant. He's clearly interested in Adora. Based on the game rules, Adora likely represents beauty, which means Callum might grow up to be a romantic or a ladies' man."

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
