The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 732

Sophia had imagined the gift Luna prepared for their first meeting to be cash, jewelry, or some kind of luxury item.

But she never expected Luna's gift to be an entire villa.

"Mrs. Holt." Sophia turned around, looking at her anxiously. "This gift is too expensive."

"It's not expensive at all. Go open the door. After you and Zachary get married, you'll live here. It's a little distance away from us, but not too far. You have your own privacy here while still letting us take care of you. It's just perfect!

"Sophia, don't think of it as something precious. You already own a villa yourself. Compared to that, this gift from me is nothing.

"Go ahead, open the door and take a look."

With Luna's encouragement, Sophia finally swiped the card and stepped inside.

Once they were inside the property, Luna handed her another card. "Here, swipe this one too."

This time, Sophia obediently swiped the card and opened the inner door.

"Go in and take a look."

Sophia took a step inside and saw the living room filled with gift boxes of all sizes, along with a big cake. Written on the cake was, "Welcome home, Sophia."

Each of the gift boxes was numbered, from "1" all the way to "23".

"These gifts are from Edmund and myself, one for every year of your birthday until now."

Luna smiled as she spoke. "Because you used to be engaged to Sky from the Walker family, and because the Holt and Sinclair families never had much work together, we didn't have much involvement in your past.

"But life is so strange and wonderful. Who would've thought that you'd end up with Zachary and become our daughter-in-law someday?"
