Chapter 926 Grace’s Excitement
However, what surprised Grace even more was Toby’s lavishness. These few bottles of wine were worth several million each, yet he gave them away without the slightest hesitation. Not only that, but these wines were extremely invaluable. There were only 100 bottles of each kind of these wines in the world. With each bottle drunk, there would be one bottle less of them.
She thought that people basically bought these wines not to drink them, but to collect them. And yet, Toby gave these collectible wines away as a gift—a degree of lavishness that few people could reach. Seems like he has mended his ways and does love Sonny very much. Otherwise, how could he possibly gift my husband with these wines?
After all, Curtis isn’t really his father-in-law. Still, he gave these wines to Curtis as a gift. Obviously, this means that he loves Sonny so much that he’s willing to treat us as his actual parents-in-law for her sake, right? At the thought of this, she inwardly gave Toby a passing mark with a few dozen bonus points. As for the last dozens of points, she had to observe and scrutinize him further.
Toby’s eyes flickered slightly for a moment, as if he had sensed what Grace was thinking. After taking a glance at Curtis—who was smiling creepily at those wines—he stood up and handed the remaining few bags of gift boxes to her. “Mrs. Lane, these are the presents I prepared for you. Take a look and see if you like them.”
Grace was startled for a moment before she pointed at herself. “Are there presents for me too?”
Toby nodded. “Yes, of course. There are presents for Mr. Lane, and so do you, naturally. I can’t favor one of you more than the other, right?”
This time, it was Grace’s turn to feel embarrassed. Touching her cheek, she replied with a smile, “Well, thank you so much for the presents.” She gave him another ten bonus points in her mind. Hmm, now he’s 30 points away from a perfect score.
“You’re very welcome, Mrs. Lane. Why don’t you take a look at the presents?” Toby replied as he sat back down.
She rolled her eyes inwardly at Curtis, who was toying with the wine bottles one after another. Look at how silly that old man is. Those who don’t know what’s going on would think that he’s groping a woman. How pathetic! She withdrew her gaze in disdain before turning to look at the gift boxes before her.
Thanks to those bottles of wine, she knew that with Toby’s lavishness, his presents for her had to be extraordinary as well. Well, I don’t know how extraordinary these gifts are, but I definitely won’t be as silly as Curtis. At the thought of this, she calmly put down the teacup in her hand and smiled gracefully at Toby, saying, “Well, in that case, I’ll open them to take a look.”
Toby’s thin lips curled into a faint smile as he gestured to Grace to go ahead.
Grace exhaled softly before placing her hands on the gift box’s ribbon. After opening the first gift box, she looked at its contents and was stunned.
The next instant, she cried out, “Ahhhh!” The situation was exactly the same as how Curtis had reacted upon seeing the first bottle of wine just now.
Curtis was startled, too. After clasping the bottle of wine in his hand to his chest, he glared at Grace angrily. “What are you doing, honey? You startled me so much that I nearly dropped my wine. Can you pay for it if I drop it?” God only knew how frightened and panic-stricken he was when he nearly lost his grip on the bottle of wine in his hand after being startled by her cry just now. His heart had almost stopped, and he even felt that he had had the living daylights scared out of him at that very moment.
