Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244

I wasn’t interested in an auction and was just about to turn him down, but I noticed the auction catalog in his hand.

I narrowed my eyes when I spotted something inside. examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was what I had been searching for, I got up to change my clothes.

Noah was happy that I had agreed to go and went to change as well.

Perhaps grown men were more conscious of their appearance, because by the time I was already dressed and ready, he still wasn’t done.

Just as I pulled out my phone and was about to play a game to clear my mind, Noah walked out.

As he had put in the effort to dress up, he looked even more strikingly handsome than usual. I couldn’t stop looking at him.

Although he wasn’t my brother, having such a handsome friend made me feel a little proud. Still, I could tell he was trying very hard to appear more mature.

He was still a student, yet he was dressed in a suit, and his hair was slicked back, looking like a young

CEO.

By the time we arrived at the auction, it was just about to begin.

Assuming that Noah had probably come to bid on something he had set his mind on, just like me, I turned to look at him. Tell me what you want later. I’ll get it for you.

Cordelia had asked me to take good care of him, yet he had been the one taking care of me all this while. It was rare for him to want something, so whatever it was, I would get it for him.

Noah stayed silent.

He started to regret returning as my socalled little brother. While this identity gave him great benefits, he was also stuck in this role.

Not long after the auction started, Noah received a call It seemed important, so he went somewhere quiet to answer it.

The moment he left, the item I wanted appeared for bidding.

It was a pair of emerald pendants. The emerald was of top quality, and the pendants were artifacts with a long history.

The auctioneer didn’t know their exact age, only that they were over 300 years old.

But I knew precisely that they were 333 years old. This pair of emerald pendants was an heirloom of the Quill family.

The Quills had recorded exactly when they were carved. They had been worn by the head of the family in every generation.

By the time they were passed down to my grandfather’s generation, the family was suffering financially. Grandma had pawned the pendants to save my critically ill grandpa.

When Grandpa found out, he refused to take his medicine and insisted she get the pendants back.

But when Grandma wanted to get them back, the pawn shop had closed down, and she couldn’t find the owner no matter how hard she tried.

Losing the family heirloom deepened my Grandpa’s feelings of inadequacy and failure. Not only had he failed to maintain the family business, but he had also lost the heirloom.

As he was depressed and critically ill, he passed away soon after.

Grandma believed that pawning the pendants had caused his early death, so she had been carrying the guilt with her for the rest of her life. Her biggest regret in life was not being able to find the pendants again.

I had been searching for them for years, but I had no clue since they had been lost a long time ago. I never imagined they would suddenly appear at an auction!

Because of the quality, intricate carving, and age, many people wanted to bid on them. I had to raise my bid all the way to five million before the competition stopped.

I thought I had won and was about to pay and leave, but another bid suddenly came in. And it was double my offer at ten million dollars.

I instinctively turned, and my eyes widened in shock when I saw the bidder.
