Chapter 910 Something Bad Happened
As expected, Sonia knew that Toby would contact her. Since he had already gotten someone to send these gifts over, he would surely want to make sure that his gifts were appropriate.
At that thought, she answered the call without any hesitation. “Hello?” “Did you see the gifts?” The man’s magnetic voice rang out from the other end of the call.
Just then, Sonia sat down on the single-seated couch and stared at the gift bags in front of her before smiling and nodding. “I did.”
“Do you think my gifts are appropriate? Do I still need to prepare more?” Toby, who was sitting on a vintage sandalwood chair in the manor, straightened his back and asked.
Sonia felt her mouth twitching a little. “More? Please don’t.”
“Why?”
“Are you seriously asking why?” she cried out. “Are you planning to scare them off by preparing so many gifts?”
“Is it too much?” Toby tilted his head a little. It was obvious that he didn’t feel like he had prepared a lot.
Sonia rolled her eyes. “To you, it might not be a lot, but to people like us, it’s just too much. It’s only your first time visiting, so you shouldn’t need to prepare so much. Just one for each of them is already enough. Nevertheless, they will still be happy to receive your gifts.”
After all, anyone would be happy to receive estate-bottled wine and the latest makeup products that hadn’t been released yet.
Hearing her reply, Toby chuckled. “It’s fine. These aren’t much anyway. Didn’t you say that I should treat them like my own parents? If that’s the case, I can’t just simply prepare my gifts for them.”
“I did say that… but these are too lavish.” Sonia frowned, but Toby shook his head. “It’s not since I have the financial capability to do so. Besides, I’d naturally give them the best of the best to thank them for taking care of you since they treated you so well.”
She was taken aback by his reply. “Are you saying that you did all these to express your gratitude?”
“Yes.” Toby nodded. “They deserve it, after all. If you only treat them as your elders, and they’re only alright to you, I won’t put in so much effort to prepare these gifts. Instead, I could have just prepared them gifts that I usually give others. However, since you’ve mentioned that you guys are close because you treat them as your own parents, and they treat you like a daughter, I can’t be perfunctory as your man. Doing so will make it look like you’re not important to me. I’m preparing all these gifts to let the Lane couple know that I’m willing to spend my all to make them happy for you, which indirectly shows how much I love you, and that you didn’t make a wrong decision to get back together with me.”
He was willing to spend all this money because Sonia was important to her.
Although it sounded superficial, being willing to spend for a partner was a great implication of how much the person valued their significant other, and that was the truth.
Nonetheless, Sonia didn’t expect the real reason why Toby prepared so many gifts was because of her.
This made her feel warm and giddy all over.
“I see. I guess we will go with these gifts since you’ve already prepared them.” Sonia’s voice took a gentle turn.
Initially, she was planning to get Toby to take some of the gifts back as one gift per person was enough.
However, she had decided that it didn’t matter.
Since he’s doing this to express his gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Lane for taking care of me and wants them to know that he really cares about me, I can’t disregard his good intentions, can I?
Upon hearing Sonia’s reply, the corners of Toby’s lips curled up. “The gifts are alright, aren’t they?”
“Yes, they are.” Sonia nodded. “If these gifts are problematic, it would be an insult for other gifters.”
Toby chuckled. “That’s good to know. I’ll come over to pick you up at 7.00PM tonight.”
