Greek Gifts Novels & Stories

"Didn't even see you there! That top's totally wrecked. Though it was kinda yellow already... must've been cheap, huh? Want me to pay for it?" She reached into her crocodile clutch, flashing her diamond bracelet like it was part of the show. Gavin looked way too proud of her little act. He slung an arm around her. "Vera, why are you standing there blocking traffic?" Then that signature smirk. "Pay her? Rebecca, come on. Don't waste your money." He pulled out a few $50s and flicked them at my face. "That should cover, what, a hundred thrift store tops? Go wild. Maybe next time you'll show up in something that doesn't scream clearance bin. And hey—do us both a favor and stop name-dropping me."

Edward said affectionately, but Liana wanted to say, "Isn't this a bit too kind?" "Liana, I also have a gift for you," Greta suddenly said. She had someone bring it, and needless to say, it was also something extraordinary. It was a set of valuable antique jade accessories! "This is a set of jewelry passed down by European royalty, and they are unique in the world. I used my money to win the auction several years ago, but now, I give it all to you. It's valued at around 25 million." "25 million?" Jack swallowed unconsciously. It was worth more than he imagined. Naturally, Liana tried to reject the gift, but it was in vain.

"Grandpa, I brought you some gifts. I wasn’t sure what you like, so I bought a few things like food and daily essentials." "This is 50-year-old wild ginseng from Handel Mountain." "This is a sugar-free snack from Sandrigal City." "And this is a fleece vest." Mr. Zorion’s eyes twitched slightly as he glanced at the pile of gifts on the coffee table. There were so many items that it looked more like a mini grocery store. The gifts Mr. Zorion typically received were expensive, like antiques or rare collectibles. He wasn’t used to such practical gifts. But Edward was certainly an interesting character.

"What is it?" Lucas's fingers brushed against hers as he handed her the package, his touch sending a shiver down her spine. "A gift from Cathryn, Tristan's mother, your future mother-in-law. She sent it with me, specifically for you." Athena's heart skipped a beat as she took the package, her fingers tracing the intricate patterns etched into the wrapping. The paper was soft as silk, adorned with subtle, shimmering threads that caught the firelight. As she unwrapped the gift, a sweet, floral scent wafted up, filling the air with the essence of blooming wildflowers. Athena's eyes widened, her breath catching in her throat.

It was a rectangular box, covered in a glossy gift wrapper with the color of pink and brown. As I opened it, it was a knitted white sweater with the word 'Elpizo' stitched on the center part. Elpizo is a Greek word, which means 'Hope.' Karen and I have favorite book before, and there were some Greek languages included in it. I bet that's what influenced Karen's gift. "Thank you, mom. I love it. I definitely love the word." I said to her. Her bright face smiled warmly at me. "Sure thing, honey. You know, I kept on thinking why we haven't moved in Greece?" She then pursed her lips, and we all just chuckled.

“And no doubt very expensive.” “Perhaps,” Kilvic replied, not caring for the attention. “But not entirely the reason I have it.” Now Ariadne looked back at him with calculating eyes. “Then why are you giving me?” “Because it will serve you better.” “So it’s not a gift.” “It is.” Ariadne shook her head. “It’s not a gift for me.” Kilvic wasn’t sure why she was frowning. “When someone offers something without expecting something in return or being asked or required to, it is called a gift.”

Neither looked remotely surprised by Lexi's behavior, which somehow made it worse. "Good morning," Sergio said. "Morning." Raphael glanced up. "How does it feel to be a homeowner in Greece?" I pointed at him. "No." "What?" "We're not talking about that." Lexi gasped dramatically. "We absolutely are." I groaned. "It's ridiculous." "You own a house in Santorini." "I didn't ask for a house." "Nobody asks for a house; that's why they're gifts," Raphael said. "That is not how gifts work."

After saying that he got up and left, but he didn’t take the things with him. After he left, I opened the gift that he sent over. I was surprised. ‘Was this still considered a just some gifts?’ Such a big ginseng should be at least a few hundred years old. I had never seen it before. There was also this old wine that had been stored for decades, and this worm grass of excellent quality. These things were expensive if put in the store to sell. ‘Is this Mr. Garcia crazy to give such a valuable gifts?’ ‘I don’t know what method Ailina used, but I don’t want any deaths in the future?’

In each of their hands, were the eighteen gifts that the receptionist had earlier announced! As for the most expensive gift—that being the forty million dollar villa—it was presented in the form of a contract. “…H-how… How is any of this possible…?” muttered Georgia to herself, completely flabbergasted. “We’ve brought the gifts over, Mr. Crawford! Here’s the list of the gifts!” said one of the bodyguards after walking toward Gerald and bowing respectfully. “And why are you showing that to me? You should be showing it to grandma instead!” replied Gerald as he turned to look at Serenity with a smile.

she exclaimed. Mindy pointed to the gift bags by her feet. "These are for Mom and Dad, and these are for you and Jenny. That one is for Jack, and the other is for Quincey." Stunned, Rena took a good look at the gifts. She couldn't believe her eyes. The brand of gourmet honey in the gift bags couldn't even be bought with money these days. Despite that, they brought over several jars of it. There was no doubt that Lionel's family had really made it big.
