"What's in the gift?" Lyra asked, her eyes sparking with curiosity as she glanced at the neatly wrapped package.

Sophia hesitated for a moment, then carefully untied the ribbon.

Sophia's excitement was quickly replaced by a hint of discomfort.

"This looks really expensive," she said quietly, unsure how to feel about it.

The intricate design and fine detall made it clear–this wasn't just any piece of jewelry.

Chris had already gone to great lengths to arrange the banquet Invitations, and now his father had sent such an extravagant gift.

It felt a little overwhelming.

But before Sophia could express her concerns, Chris smiled confidently, as if he had anticipated the entire situation.

"That necklace was made just for you," he said, flashing his brightest smile, though a flicker of uncertainty crossed his face.

Chris hadn't asked his father to send the gift, but he did it anyway. Impressive!

Maybe his father was subtly hinting that it was time for a grandchild, especially since the gift was far from cheap.

"You should definitely wear it tonight at the banquet. It'll make you stand out in the best way possible," Chris urged with enthusiasm.

"That's a fantastic idea!" Lyra chimed in, her voice brimming with excitement. "Sophia, do you see how attentive Chris is?"
