Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 54

Becky had only come here to fulfill her end of the deal, so she had no interest in the items to be auctioned that night.

Devin, who was sitting next to her, didn’t make any bids, as if nothing attracted him either.

When it became clear that Devin also had no interest in the auction, Becky turned to ask him, “Don’t you like anything here?”

“I do.”

Devin smiled slightly, picking up a bottle of water and taking a sip. He glanced at her and added, “The one I like can’t be auctioned.”

While his implication was clear as day, Becky smiled innocently and pretended not to understand what he meant. “Oh, that’s too bad.”

“How about you? Doesn’t anything here tickle your fancy?” Devin asked Becky while he tinkered idly with the auction paddle in his hand.

Becky was about to shake her head when a picture of a snuff bottle on the big screen caught her attention.

“It’s beautiful,” she murmured.

Becky knew her father was fond of collecting snuff bottles, and she knew that he’d love this one.

Stevie was visiting Courtbush in a few days, so Becky figured the snuff bottle would make for a nice surprise when he came.

After all, she was a thoughtful daughter.

Hearing this, Devin asked curiously, “Do you like it?”

Becky glanced at Devin and explained briefly, “My father would.”

“Oh, I see.”

Devin nodded and fell silent.

The snuff bottle was a delicate antique, and its price started at 2.4 million dollars.

Only a few people were interested in it, and the price quickly climbed up to 2.6 million after several rounds of bidding.

After a while, Becky raised her paddle. The auctioneer glanced at her and announced, “This lady’s offering 2.8 million!”

As the auctioneer was speaking, Rory suddenly raised his paddle. The auctioneer announced, “Three million dollars from the man over there!”

Devin narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Becky, whispering, “Do you need help?”
