Chapter 206 Elyse Liked Rubies

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? My mom says I'ma spendthrift, that I'll blow through any money I get, which is why she's so eager for me to tie the knot."

Freda shrugged helplessly. "She is hoping my future hubby will be generous with his spending on me."

"Your mom sounds as amusing as you are," Theo said, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Glancing at his watch, he said, "It's getting late; I'll take you home."

Freda nodded in agreement. "Sure."

Having indulged in a few drinks at the auction, Theo wasn't fit to drive. Therefore, he called a driver and dropped Freda off at her house first.

As Freda stepped out of the car, a thought struck her, prompting her to turn back and knock on the window.

Theo lowered the window with a press of a button. "Is there anything else?"
