The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 

As the days flew by, we were now just 24 hours away from the big day. 

That afternoon, everyone gathered at the Cooper mansion. 

“Are we having the bachelor party here?” Caroline asked as she got out of the car with her husband’s help. 

“Looks like it,” Christian replied. 

“Welcome!” Samantha greeted them. “Wow, how far along are you?” she asked, noticing Caroline’s round belly. 

“In a few days, I’ll be six months along.” Caroline said happily, stroking her stomach. 

“Congratulations to both of you,” Eric said. 

“Thanks! And soon, James will have a buddy to race around this beautiful garden with,” Christian added. 

“You bet,” Jayden said, walking over to greet the couple. 

Just then, a car pulled up to the house. 

“Hi, everyone!” Elliot called out as he got out of his car, 

“Good afternoon,” George said. 

“Hello, everyone, and welcome,” Deborah said, stepping out to greet the guests while carrying James. 

“Well, we’re all here, daughter,” Nicholas said.. 

“Are we going somewhere from here?” Christian asked. 

“Right, and where are those girls who are supposed to dance for us?” Nicholas added. 

“Dad…” Elliot said, blushing. 

“I agree, where are the lovely ladies who’ll make me feel young again?” Nicholas asked, looking around. 

“Well, there won’t be any of those girls at this house,” Samantha said, frowning and crossing her arms. 

“Boo…” the older folks groaned. 

“I know, I’m in trouble,” Eric pouted, but he got a playful, smack from his wife. 

“And there won’t be any dancers either,” Jayden said. 

“Boo…” Caroline complained. 

“So why are we here?” Elliot asked. 

“Let’s just say it will be something more special,” Deborah said with a sidelong smile, leaving everyone confused. 

At that moment, David arrived in a large truck with nine assistants, each carrying a small box of a specific color. 

“Good evening, everyone, David greeted.

Ja got excited upon seeing the colorful boxes. 

“What’s th 

too. 

this?” Caroline asked as she received a box from the assistants and saw the others getting theirs 

“Well, this is part of the surprise,” David said, winking as his assistants began unloading the rest of the items from the truck. “As you’ve noticed, we won’t have the usual exotic dancers or liquor,” he said, glancing at the disappointed faces of the older guests, “Instead, we’ll have a fun treasure hunt game.” 

“Ooh… that sounds promising,” Christian commented. 

“Hmm, if it’s a game, I assume there will be a prize,” George said. 

“That’s right, and the boxes I just gave you are part of the game’s start,” David explained. 

Some people started shaking their boxes, trying to guess what was inside. 

“This will be a treasure hunt where your mental agility and problem–solving skills will be tested,” David said, winking. “So go ahead and open your boxes. 

Everyone opened their boxes to find a ribbon of a certain color and a sheet of paper with a specific location in the house written on it. 

While they examined their maps, David’s assistants brought a large box into the garden. 

“My assistants are getting everything set up now. You’ll need to find them following the clues on your maps,” David explained. “You’ll notice each of you has a different color ribbon, and I ask you to wear it on your right arm, as that will be your identifier from now on.” 

“But that’s not fair. Some people will have an advantage with these maps because they live here,” Christian pointed out. 

“Well, love, the map seems easy to understand,” Caroline said. 

“Shh… the idea is to see if we can get any advantage,” Jayden said, causing the others to laugh. 

“And what’s the prize?” Elliot asked, clearly excited. 

“The prize will be a surprise,” David said, showing a large box wrapped in iridescent paper. 

“A mysterious box, huh? Well, if you put it that way, it definitely makes me want to play,” Eric said. 

“Haha…” James was excitedly playing with the lid of his mom’s box.
