Chapter 348 I Want The Painting (1/2)

Carla returned to the auction house a few moments later.

Her sight immediately caught Terence who was sitting before her as soon as she sat. One of his arms was around Rena's shoulder as they talked sweetly.

”Where have you been? Why are your hands cold?” Noah asked.

Following the direction of Carla's gaze, Noah found who the woman was looking at. ”What's wrong? I thought you two were together earlier. Why are you back so upset while he seems very happy sitting with that beauty?”

Carla withdrew her gaze and felt her eyes heating up. They began to brim with tears. Thus, she bowed her head and searched for a napkin. However, there wasn't any close to her. She turned to Noah and without further ado, pulled the edge of his sleeve and dried her tears.

Flattered by her sudden reaction, Noah placed his arm around the woman's shoulder and gently stroked her back. ”Don't feel upset, okay? Moving on so fast only means that he doesn't deserve your love,” he said. He then took a list and showed it to Carla.

”Stop crying and cheer up. Look at these items. Choose whatever you like.”

Carla managed to distract her mind from Terence who was just sitting across her. There was no way around it anyway. She saw him bid for expensive items one after another and gave them all to Rena. It annoyed her so much that Terence didn't even turn to look at her as if she wasn't there at all.

It was easy to tell how pleased Rena was that time. She was smiling ear to ear.

The last item to be auctioned was a painting called Starry Night. Carla's eyes instantly lit up the moment she saw it. She cried, ”Noah, I want the painting!”

It was the only one in the list that she thought was worth trying. She skipped the others as she didn't want to waste money on them. However, this one was outstanding and gorgeous in all sense.

”No problem!” responded Noah. He immediately held up the paddle in his hand.

Meanwhile, Carla was busy scrutinizing the painting that fascinated her so much. It was then that she heard Rena's voice coming from the front. ”Terence, this painting is extremely beautiful. Could you bid it for me?”

”Sure. You can have anything you want. Just raise your paddle.” Terence's voice was mild. Rena then excitedly raised the paddle in her hand.

Only a few dared to bid on items whenever Terence was involved.

However, Noah was determined to go against him so it was different this time around.
