Chapter 339 Crazy Declaration of Love
Just then, excited shouts suddenly came from outside the door, accompanied by loud bangs.
"It's fireworks!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to the fireworks outside, and many impatient girls rushed out.
Sophia and Finnley exchanged glances and followed them out.
In the night sky, fireworks burst open one after another, brilliant and colorful, as if lighting up the entire sky.
"Did you arrange this?" Sophia looked at Finnley beside her in surprise.
Finnley slowly shook his head, "No."
He had indeed prepared fireworks too, but it wasn't time yet. Although Chase could be a bit slow, he wouldn't mess up something this simple.
"I arranged it." A gentle voice suddenly came from behind them, tinged with a hint of amusement.
Sophia and Finnley turned around to see Wilford standing behind them at some point. "Ms. Brown, I prepared this especially for you. Do you like it?"
"Mr. Langley, thank you for the fireworks, but I'm already married. This isn't really appropriate."
"The fireworks are just a small part. There are more surprises waiting for you." Wilford ignored Sophia's words and waved directly at his subordinates behind him.
The subordinates opened the boxes they were holding, exposing them to everyone's view.
Each elegant box contained unique jewelry pieces.
A ruby necklace, diamond earrings, and a priceless crown.
Sophia immediately recognized this as the crown worn by Lumaria's previous queen, which was reportedly auctioned off for one hundred billion dollars.
So it had ended up in Wilford's hands.
Sophia quickly waved her hands, saying, "Mr. Langley, I can't accept rewards without merit. These are too valuable, I can't accept them."
"But you're my lifesaver. If you can't accept them, then no one in this world is qualified to. Ms. Brown, your medical skills are exceptional, and I deeply admire that."
What a shame that such an outstanding talent couldn't work for him.
Wilford shook his head secretly, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
"Treating and saving patients is what I should do. The hospital has already paid me. I'm sorry, but I can't accept these."
Those attending tonight's party included not only big shots from all walks of life, but also media reporters.
Wilford had just made such a passionate display. If she accepted his gifts now, by tomorrow there would probably be some misleading news stories.
Like Sophia having an affair.
Sophia found the thought amusing.
Besides, Finnley was right beside her.
After just a few words with Wilford, she could already feel the cold aura emanating from him.
If she really accepted these gifts, she'd probably be the one sleeping in the study from now on.
Despite Finnley's constant cold expression, he was actually very possessive.
Sophia's attitude was firm, and Wilford had no choice but to leave behind only the most expensive jewelry set, saying it was a birthday gift for Sophia.
Now Sophia couldn't refuse anymore, so she had Finn collect the gift.
In this short time, the fireworks had already finished.
Sophia only looked up briefly, and by the time she realized it, the fireworks were gone.
She sighed with regret and led everyone back into the reception hall.
Wilford still had many things to attend to, so he was leaving after delivering the gifts.
Before leaving, he looked deeply at Finnley and said to Sophia, "Although I can't give up my arranged marriage for you, if you ever regret this, you can come find me anytime."
Sophia's appearance really matched his aesthetic perfectly.
She had a unique charm typical of Novaria people—intelligent yet gentle, even with a touch of innocent simplicity.
These complex qualities came together in her without any sense of discord, instead making people pleasantly surprised by her many facets.
What amazed him most was Sophia's medical expertise.
What a shame. If it weren't for Finnley, perhaps Sophia would have gone with him.
After Wilford left, the guests gathered in small groups, quietly discussing what had just happened.
Finnley's expression was somewhat gloomy, his heart feeling as blocked as if a large stone had been placed there.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Sophia keenly noticed his low mood and asked.
Finnley shook his head, "It's nothing."
He was indeed sulking a bit, but with so many guests around, now wasn't the time to talk about it.
Sophia didn't think much of it and nodded slowly, then was pulled away by Elodie.
Not only Elodie, but Hannah came too, and even Isolde, who had been busy filming recently, showed up.
Isolde came up and gave Sophia a hug, "Sophia, long time no see!"
"Long time no see." Sophia smiled and patted her back, asking with concern, "Aren't you filming in Harmony City? How did you find time to come?"
"How could I miss your birthday! Look, this is my gift for you, open it and see."
As Isolde spoke, she handed over the box in her hands.
Sophia reached out to take it and found it was a very elegant gift bag.
Inside the bag was a beautiful box tied with a light blue ribbon, looking very girly.
Sophia opened it and found it was a perfume.
It was from a very niche domestic brand, with a scent of sweet peach mixed with a rich creamy note—pleasant without being cheap.
Sophia really liked it.
"Thank you, Isolde."
"Mine too, mine too!" Elodie and Hannah weren't about to be outdone and also brought out their prepared gifts.
In no time, Sophia's arms were full.
She smiled helplessly and handed these gifts to Finn, asking him to take them upstairs.
She sat with her friends on the sofa in the dessert area, eating sweets and sipping wine while chatting.
Isolde leaned close to Sophia's ear and asked in a low voice, "I heard Mr. White lost his memory? But the way you two were interacting just now seemed no different from before."
Sophia thought for a moment and smiled, "Maybe this is what they call being in sync?"
Looking at the smile in Sophia's eyes, Isolde became even more curious about their relationship progress.
Memory loss was something she had only seen on TV before.
"Sophia, so do you interact like this normally now? Does it feel like you're dating a different person?"
Sophia raised her wine glass and took a sip of red wine.
Under everyone's curious gazes, she slowly nodded, "A little bit at first, but it's much better now."
Now she was mostly just enjoying it.
Enjoying every moment with him.
Their relationship had been built up bit by bit anyway. Even if it was temporarily reset, they could start over again.
