Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 504

“I offer ten million for this painting!” No sooner had the auctioneer’s words fallen than Christopher doubled the price in the blink of an eye. I silently counted how many zeros were in ten million before nudging him lightly and whispered, “Why are you offering so much money when I drew this myself? We can’t be buying it and hanging it at home, can we?”

“Your painting is priceless to me.” Christopher flashed me an indulgent smile.

“Anyway, stop bidding on it, okay?” The moment my words fell, someone called out a bid of fifteen million, so Christopher again hollered, “Twenty million!”

At that, I shot him a glare. Argh! This man is truly spending frivolously! ”If you really think that you’ve got too much money, you can give it to me. I’ll help you deposit it in the bank. And if you like it so much, I’ll paint you a replica of it back home.”

“Nope. I want this one.” Christopher winked at me, causing the mole at the corner of his eye to twitch, giving him a devilish and nonchalant air. “You told me there are two vague silhouettes in the shadows that represent us, so I naturally have to take it home and treasure it. I’m not going to allow anyone else to take it away.”

“Thirty million!” As the familiar voice drifted into my eyes, I couldn’t help shifting my glance to Isabelle. She had her back to me and didn’t look back either, sounding as though she was speaking of something unremarkable. At that turn of events, my brows furrowed.

“Forty million!” Christopher upped the bid without the slightest hesitation. When the people around saw that the price had gone so high, they all zipped their mouths. They were only attending the auction to join in the fun and donate some money to gain a good reputation in the first place, so if someone took things seriously, they wouldn’t simply poke their noses into it.

“Fifty million!” Isabelle raised the bidding paddle in front of her.

“Sixty million!” Christopher murmured mildly.

When he had raised the price to eighty million, I tugged at his sleeve. “Forget it, Chris. Don’t increase the bid anymore since she wants to buy it. The Goldstein family doesn’t lack money anyway.”
