Nathan’s pov
“Ten million!”
During the auction, a familiar voice caught my attention.
I raised my eyebrows and looked in the direction of the sound.
It’s Diana!
She wore a silver–grey floor–length tube top evening gown today, and the tight–fitting style outlined her curvy figure.
Her long, slightly curly hair hung behind her back, and although she only wore light makeup on her face, she was already extremely beautiful.
I think of every time we met after our reunion, she seemed to amaze me,
So, has she always been so beautiful and dazzling?
I can’t help but think about when Diana was my Luna. She always wore the most common jumpers that were convenient for house chores. She looked nothing special back then.
“Nathan? Nathan?”
Avia’s voice brought me back from my thoughts.
I turned to look at her, “What’s wrong?”
“I…I like that pearl bracelet, can you bid and buy it for me?” Avia asked in a low voice, with a shy blush on her face.
I rarely say no to Avia’s requests.
Nodding, I held up the sign and said, “Twenty million.”
What I didn’t expect was that as soon as I finished calling the price, Diana turned her
head and glared at me.
She probably didn’t know that her look had no intimidating effect on me.
Even, I just think…her angry look is cute.
I couldn’t help but curl my lips, and suddenly felt that this auction was not so boring
anymore.
“Thirty million,” Diana shouted while glaring at me.
I think she’s cuter.
“Forty million.” I raised my eyebrows.
There was a burst of discussion at the scene.
Most people are complimenting my love for Avia.
I didn’t explain anything.
In fact, I’m quite curious about how Diana will react when she hears these discussions.
Will she be… angrier?
Will the reason for her anger be that I “pamper” Avia more?
However, Diana didn’t react.
She raised the price to “50 million” very calmly as if she didn’t hear those people’s discussion.
This made me slightly unhappy.
“Sixty million,” I shouted without hesitation.
“Seventy million.” Diana had no intention of giving up.
I was a little surprised.
Does she really like this pearl bracelet so much?
“Nathan…” Avia bit her lip and looked at me with pleading eyes, “I like this bracelet. Please?”
I frowned and finally decided to continue bidding.
Soon, I called the price “300 million“!
This has far exceeded the value of the bracelet itself.
I don’t believe Diana will continue to follow so irrationally.
but–
“Four hundred million!”
Diana’s firm voice echoed throughout the audience.
She had no intention of backing down, and her confidence seemed to be radiating. Although, the entire scene was full of negative voices for her.
My heart beat wildly twice.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
‘Alpha Nathan, Miss Reist offered 400 million. Do you want to increase the price?”
Do I want to continue to increase prices?
Whether it is 400 million or 4 billion, it is nothing to me.
But I hesitated.
If Diana wanted this bracelet this much, I might as well just give it to her.
After thinking for a short time, I said calmly, “Let’s not add price.”
Since Diana was so determined.
What’s more, everyone is waiting to see her jokes.
They all thought Diana/would lose the competition and no one would think she could
afford this high of a price like an alpha like me.
But I somehow don’t want her to lose.
Diana smiled happily.
At that moment, I actually felt relaxed.
“Nathan…why did you give that bracelet to Diana?” Avia asked.
“It’s just a bracelet. If you like it, I’ll take you to a jewelry store to buy a new one later,” I said.
“That’s different!” Avia’s mood suddenly became very excited, “I want this bracelet! Why did that bitch steal my thing?”
“Avia? What are you talking about?”
I was very shocked.
I couldn’t believe that the word “bitch” would come out of the mouth of well–behaved Avia.
Her expression even seemed strange to me.
“I…I mean…” Avia pursed her lips and said, “Nathan, do you know why I must get that bracelet?”
I looked at her silently.
She cried and said with red eyes, “Because that bracelet is my mother’s legacy!”
I clenched my fists violently.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“I don’t want…I don’t want to put you under pressure…” Avia choked, “If I tell you, you would spend too much money on this because of my late mother. I don’t want you to feel guilty.”
I took a deep breath.
Everyone is guessing about Avia’s identity.
They all think Avia is my lover who I have been with for many years.
actually not.
When I was eleven years old, my mother and I were kidnapped by a hostile Pack.
I remember it was the Moon Goddess Holiday.
Everyone in Pack is immersed in the joy of the festival.
No one knew that their Alpha was facing a huge decision at this moment. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
The enemy threatened my father’s surrender and money with my life and my mother’s life and asked my father to give up the Dark Moon pack and our people to them.
It was Avia who saved my mother and me and prevented this catastrophe.
Avia was only five years old at the time.
I will never forget the first time I met her.
In an abandoned warehouse, a little girl wearing a moon goddess mask greeted me through the window.
“Hey! Who are you? Why are your hands and feet tied?”
old bar
“My mother and I were kidnapped by bad guys,” I told her.
Then, something unexpected happened.
“I can get you out,” she said.
I thought she was joking.
But she really got us out!
Behind the warehouse, there is a dog hole that everyone ignores!
She climbed in and untied the ropes that tied us.
Then she took me and my mother and ran away under everyone’s watch!
Before we separated, Avia told us her nickname was Irene.
In addition, we felt the aura of Alpha in her.
Later, we found her based on the nickname she provided.
But at that time, her Alpha father, mother, and relatives were all killed.
In the entire Pack, she was the only one who survived.
The mother brought her back to our pack and adopted her.
In order to prevent enemies from finding her, we gave her a new name, Avia.
Therefore, Avia’s true identity now is actually my nominal sister.
If that bracelet is really her mother’s legacy, then I will help her get it back no matter what.
I immediately contacted the organizer of this auction.
After a short conversation, I got the bracelet for double the price.
When the staff handed the pearl bracelet to Avia backstage, Avia finally showed a happy smile.
But I don’t know why, but all I can think about is Diana’s disappointed expression.
I turned to leave.
Anyway, I have to explain it to Diana personally.
I can give Diana a more precious bracelet.
I remember there was an auction the day after tomorrow.
A rare pink diamond from the Argyle mine will be auctioned.
That pink diamond suits Diana very well and can be used to make a bracelet for her.
“Nathan! Where are you going?” Avia’s voice sounded behind me.
I knew I should stop, but I didn’t.
Suddenly, the staff shouted.
“Miss, are you okay? Miss!”
I turned my head and found that Avia had passed out on the ground.
I gritted my teeth and could only pick up Avia and rush to the hospital.

Before leaving, I said to the staff, “If Diana comes to you for that bracelet, ask her to come to me!”
