Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Mrs. Blackwood, If You Want to Throw Yourself Into My Arms, Just Say It
Ivy was a bit nervous. Was he really going to bid for this Peace Locket for Nina?
After thinking for a moment, Ivy proactively tugged Sebastian’s sleeve and whispered, "Mr. Blackwood, this Peace Locket is very important to me. Could you possibly let it go?"
She spoke with utmost respect, yet Sebastian sneered coldly, "No."
In the next second, he raised the paddle, "Fifty million."
Nina was surprised, then happily exclaimed, "Brother Sebastian, there’s really no need for something so expensive..."
Although the Peace Locket was exquisite, thirty million was already the limit.
She couldn’t believe Brother Sebastian was willing to pay an extra twenty million for her.
Nina looked at Ivy with even more smugness.
Ivy lowered her head bitterly.
Of course, why did she think he would wrong Nina because of her...
Ethan secretly gritted his teeth; the man named Blackwood was intentionally opposing him.
He had just arrived in Celestia, and his available funds amounted to roughly forty million, unable to match fifty million for now.
"Ivy, I’m sorry."
Ethan apologized.
Ivy didn’t blame him; she was already very grateful he was willing to help her.
She shook her head, "It doesn’t matter."
Ivy lost interest in the following auction and left early with Ethan.
Nina, however, was in a pleasant mood and purchased several more items.
Yet, when all the items were handed to her, the Peace Locket was nowhere in sight.
"Brother Sebastian, where’s the Peace Locket?"
Sebastian secured the Peace Locket, replying coolly, "This isn’t for you."
What?
If it’s not for her, then it must be for that bitch, Ivy!
Nina was so angry she almost couldn’t breathe, feeling wronged. "But you just said... it was for me..."
Sebastian countered, "Are you sure I said that?"
Nina was stumped; indeed, Sebastian had not explicitly said the Peace Locket was for her...
Nina had to act graciously, "Alright, Brother Sebastian, perhaps I remembered wrong. Miss Kensington would surely be very happy knowing you bid for the Peace Locket for her."
God knows, Nina’s palms were almost bleeding from her nails.
She hates that bitch Ivy!
Blackwood Manor.
Ivy felt a pang in her heart thinking the Peace Locket was going to Nina.
She had told him the Peace Locket was very important to her, yet he still resolutely bid for Nina; Nina truly held a special place in his heart...
To avoid losing control of her emotions, Ivy went to bed early that night.
Half-asleep, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open; Sebastian was back.
She tightened her grip on the blanket and continued to feign sleep.
Sebastian glanced over, seeing the woman curled up in the blanket, a small bundle, clearly still awake.
He chuckled softly and turned on the light.
Soon after, Owen called; Sebastian answered on speaker: "Master Blackwood, shall I send over the Peace Locket?"
Ivy’s ears perked up. He hadn’t given the Peace Locket to Nina?
Sebastian replied deeply, "No need, you keep it for now."
What did he mean by this?
Hiding under the blanket, Ivy pondered secretly; then suddenly, the blanket was pulled away with a "whoosh."
"You heard it all, why keep pretending?"
Sebastian sat in the armchair opposite her, speaking lazily.
Exposed for pretending to sleep, Ivy felt a bit embarrassed, so she simply asked, "What should I do to get the Peace Locket?"
"This..." Sebastian deliberately stretched the tone.
What’s with that "this."
Feeling anxious, Ivy impulsively lunged at him, "Hurry up and tell me!"
However, she forgot she was sitting on the bed at the moment, and as she lunged, her body fell into emptiness.
"Sebastian!"
Startled, Ivy couldn’t help but call out his name.
Sebastian spread his long arms and tightly embraced Ivy.
He whispered, "Mrs. Blackwood, if you want to throw yourself into my arms, just say so directly."
