Lucy looked at Matthew in surprise and replied, “An auction? But I don’t need anything.”
Matthew sighed inwardly. Others would have instantly jumped at such an offer, but his wife never seemed to understand.
Although she was not lacking anything in her life, there had to be something among designer bags, diamonds, jewelry, and antiques that she would appreciate.
However, she had never asked him for these things and was always the one looking after him instead. The only time she asked him for something was when she was tired.
'This is a bad habit, my dear wife!’ Matthew thought, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. After living with her for so long, he could not help but feel unaccomplished as a husband.
“Wifey, even if you don’t need anything, there are many interesting things at the auction.”
Lucy became intrigued. “Like what? Will there be any books I like at the auction?”
There was an awkward expression on Matthew’s face. The books that she liked were sold in regular bookstores. Even if there was only one copy in existence, he could just have someone search for them. Things like books were not usually sold at auctions.
Seeing the expression on his face, Lucy lowered her head in disappointment. “If they don’t sell the things I like at the auction, why would I want to go?”
Matthew’s head was buzzing when he looked at her.
“The auction has all kinds of jewelry, antiques, and anything valuable you can think of.”
Lucy’s mind went blank. Matthew was implying that the auction sold expensive things only.
Lucy asked in confusion. Although Matthew had whispered his last sentence, Lucy still heard him clearly.
He reluctantly told her his plan, “The auction is organized by Leon Corporation, which means that many people in the upper class will be there. Most of them still don’t know about our marriage, so…”
She finally understood that this auction was to mark her debut in Matthew’s social circle, which meant that she could not say no.
Realizing this, she was getting a little nervous. She fidgeted with her clothes and asked, “Are you sure it won’t be troublesome if I go?”
Matthew looked at her, puzzled. “Why would it be troublesome? You’re my wife. It’s only natural that you’ll be there with her.”
His deep-rooted pride gave him great confidence.
