Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 206:

The auction came to a close, and Theo secured the necklace after paying. Freda trailed after him, intrigued by the way he admired the necklace. She asked, “What’s the allure of this necklace? Why do you want it so badly?”

Theo tucked the necklace away and responded vaguely, “No particular reason. I just felt like buying it.”

“Does your money burn a hole in your pocket? Well, why don’t you spend it on me?
