Reborn To Remarry My Ex Husband Novel by Erin Green

Chapter 28 The Charming Husband

Pretending that she didn’t want Carson to know she was upset, Suzanna quickly sat up straight and forced a smile. “Carson, you’ve given me enough gifts tonight, Let’s not bid any more. Shall we go home?”

However, as she lifted her eyes, a tear rolled down her check and evoked Carson’s sympathy,

He gently wiped the tears from Suzanna’s eyes and shot a cold glare at Gary. “Gary, how can you be this harsh on Suzie? You are her brother. What’s wrong with buying her some gifts? She’s ill at this young age; if she wants something, just give it to her!”

Gary was bewildered at Carson’s unfounded accusations and couldn’t help wondering if this was how Melody had felt in the past. 1

He sighed ruefully. “This portable electrotherapy device is designed by Master Jose. Mel’s device was damaged. She needs this more! But Suzie, will she even use it? Or does she only like it because Mel needs it?”

At once, Carson and Suzanna were silenced.

Carson’s expression turned complex as he looked at Gary and sternly stated, “Gary, Suzie is a kind girl – how could she possibly harbor such a scheming idea? She just happened to admire the same item as Melody. Stop imagining things.”

Suzanna felt even more aggrieved. As she gazed at Gary in disbelief, her voice trembled, “Gary, how could you think of me that way? I wanted Mel to come home more than anyone else…”

Gary’s eyes were filled with conflicting emotions, and he felt as if his head was going to explode.

In his mind, the memories of Suzanna’s kind gestures to him intertwined with the words the waiter had recounted tonight.

It left him feeling perplexed, guilty, and at a loss.

Could he have truly misunderstood Suzanna?

Meanwhile, the bidding had reached eight million.

The device itself was not worth eight million, but Master Jose’s design and craftsmanship were valuable.

Melody hesitated at this price.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Gary gritted his teeth and raised his paddle. “Ten million!”

Carson quickly stopped him. “Gary, are you out of your mind?! You don’t even have ten million!”

After all, Gary was just a student.

He was financially dependent and had no source of income. Not only that, he often squandered his money with a group of friends.

There was no way he could come up with ten million.

“I do. And if it’s not enough, I’ll pawn the blood jade.”

The Shield family was more prosperous a few decades ago. Gary’s grandfather had stumbled upon a piece of top–grade blood jade, which was very valuable.

He had a blood jade pendant carved for each of the youngsters in the family, with each piece engraved with their respective zodiac signs.

The pendants were only carved after Melody went missing, so Suzanna’s piece was the largest among them.

Her pendant was twice the size of the others, and the design was also more exquisite.

This was a symbol of their family; how could it be used as collateral for a medical device that was worthless to them?

Flustered, Carson attempted to dissuade Gary. “Gary, if you act recklessly again, I’ll make you reflect when we’re back home!”

Soon, the bid price continued to rise. When it reached fifty million, the number of bidders dwindled.

Melody’s hope faded even further. In any case, she wouldn’t be able to acquire it.

Suddenly, Melody sensed a familiar figure approaching.

She turned aside and was surprised to see Edward sitting beside her.

The lights at the back rows were dim.

Edward leaned closer and brushed his nose tip against Melody’s cheek. His deep voice came forth. “Do you like it?”

Melody was momentarily confused, thinking Edward was asking if she liked his affectionate gesture.

The girl tilted her head and pecked Edward on his nose. Her eyes were alluring and dark as she softly replied, “Yeah, I do.”

Edward lowered his gaze and gently caressed Melody’s slightly warm ear.

The man’s voice was husky, and the depths of his eyes were filled with restrained desire. “You can have it if you like it, hmm?”

Melody was taken aback for a moment. Her expression became complicated as her ears reddened in embarrassment. “Right here? Wouldn’t it be too much?”

Nonetheless, her hand gradually moved toward Edward’s belt buckle…

Bernard was flabbergasted. Holy crap! Holy crap!

Only then did Edward realize Melody had misunderstood him.

With a stern face, he removed her hand and raised his paddle. “One billion.”

At once, all eyes in the room converged on Edward’s scarred face. “Isn’t that… Edward Moore, the heir of the Moore family?”

“Isn’t he handicapped?”

“But he’s willing to spend a billion for his wife! For heaven’s sake, his charm is not affected by his disability at all!”
