Chapter 926
However, what surprised Grace even more was Toby''svishness. 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 ofvishness 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-inw. 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-inw for her sake, right? At the thought of this, she inwardly
gave Toby a passing mark with a few dozen bonus points. As for thest 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 nce 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 wee, 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''svishness, 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 cing 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 sping the bottle of wine in his hand to his chest, he red 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.
When Grace heard Curtis''int, the look of excitement on her face froze for a moment. She
turned her head and gave him a dirty look, saying, "Shut up and mind your own business!" Then,
she let out a snort and ignored him. After withdrawing her gaze, she reached out her hands toward
the next gift box and proceeded to open it with her hands trembling in excitement.
Seeing how Grace behaved just like how he himself had a moment ago, Curtis said to Toby with
ring eyes, "Look at her, Toby! She chided me just now, but isn''t she acting the same right now?"
Toby drank his tea and smiled without saying a word.
Grace soon opened the second gift box and saw its contents. Although she had already had an idea
of what the gift box might contain, now that she had seen its contents for real, she couldn''t help but
let out another cry of excitement. "These are the Almani bag and the top-grade Chenal perfume,
both of which will only be avable for purchase in the next quarter! Could the rest of the items
be..." She gave a gulp of exhration while shifting her gaze to the remaining few boxes. Her eyes
glittered with apparent covetousness, like a wolf that spotted its prey.
The next instant, she quickly reached for the remaining few gift boxes, opening them swiftly. Seeing
the cosmetics, silk scarves, and the like in those gift boxes, she instantly let out a gasp and clutched
her chest with both hands. Color suffused her face as she felt she was going to pass out from
extreme happiness. "T-These are top-end luxury items that will only be on the market in the next
quarter!
Usually, I can only view them on the official websites. To think that I''d see the real stuff right before
me! I... I have no regrets in life anymore!" she said excitedly while sinking back onto the sofa and
staring at the ceiling.
Seeing her act like this, Curtis curled his lips. "Isn''t it just some cosmetics, handbags, and stuff like
that? It''s not like you can eat or drink them. Do you have to get so worked up as to say that you
have no regrets in life anymore?” He couldn''t understand why women liked these. My wines are
way better, he thought with a cheerful grin while carefully holding one of the wine bottles in his
arms.
When Toby looked at Grace, who was still in a daze after copsing on the sofa, then at Curtis, who
was smiling very foolishly at those wines, the smile on his lips deepened.
After a while, Grace recovered from her excitement and sat up on the sofa. After looking at the pile
of presents before her that would make any woman go insane, she finally looked up at Toby, who
was drinking tea. "Oh, Toby."
After being here for such a long time, Toby finally sensed that Grace was warming up to him. This
was his first time hearing her address him so cordially, and to be honest, he was somewhat unused
to it. "Yes, Mrs. Lane." He put down his teacup and met her eyes.
Grace cackled. "Well, uh, are these presents really for us?"
"Yes, of course." Toby nodded. "If these presents weren''t for you both, I wouldn’t have brought them
here, right?"
A flicker of joy shed across Grace''s eyes before it was quickly reced by a conflicted look. "I
know that, but these presents are too valuable for us, so you’d better take them back," she said
while pushing the gift boxes toward Toby.
When he heard her words, Curtis, who had been in a state of excitement after getting his hands on
the good wines, instantly came to his senses as well. He looked down at the wine bottle in his arms.
She''s right. I was so excited to see these wines that I didn''t care about anything else, but I forgot
how much these wines are worth. Indeed, I can''t ept such valuable wines without hesitation.
"Sigh..." Letting out a reluctant sigh, he put the wine bottle back in its box and pushed it toward
Toby. "My wife is right. Toby, these presents are really too valuable, so you''d better take them back.
We''re already satisfied with the kindness you’re showing us."
"Yeah, that''s right." Grace nodded.
Toby looked at the presents that had been pushed back toward him. He replied with a soft chuckle,
"Mr. and Mrs. Lane, you don''t have to do this. These presents might be valuable to you two, but
they''re chicken feed to me, so you may ept them with an open heart. And besides, I''m gifting
you two with these, not only to thank you for taking care of Little Leaf in the past, but also to let you
two know how sincerely I love her. It''s somewhat vulgar to use money to show my sincerity, but this
is the best way to let you two see it at a nce."
