“Go on, now. Artie is waiting for you for the toast.” Martha patted Sophia on the shoulder.
She walked out of the lounge to see Arthur waiting for her on the couch. When he saw her emerging, he got up and studied his wife with a pleasantly surprised look on his face. Then, he smiled when he saw the pendant on her neck.
“Looks like it has found its owner.”
Sophia found it quite amusing. She had worn it once before, and she never dared imagine that she would own it one day.
It was also because of this heirloom that she got to know its original owner and brought him to her, giving her the opportunity to fall in love with him.
“I think it has its own intentions. We’re together exactly because of it,” Sophia said, smiling.
Arthur took her hand. “Well, this proves that we’re made for each other.”
This was a traditional wedding. The bride wore a red dress, exuding an oriental aura which amazed the crowd. The area around her neck stood out, and people also noticed the round pendant which housed a gem.
All the family members knew that it was the family heirloom of the Weiss Family. From now on, Sophia would be the owner of the heirloom, which meant that she would be the successor of the Weiss family.
After the banquet in the afternoon, the guests went back to their rooms to rest while preparations for the banquet at night were under way.
Today, the Weiss Residence was filled with joy and cheer. There was laughter and chatter everywhere, and the guests were elated as well.
