Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

Chapter 710

Edward passed by us, handing Gavin a paddle with a number on it. Gavin nodded his thanks before Edward went around the room, passing paddles to all the gentlemen and a couple of women who had powerful auras.

Levi and Lila sat in the same row as us, though they were a few seats away.

I admired how confidently Gavin sat; I knew he was planning something, I just wasn't sure what it was, and I wasn't sure if he'd tell me if I asked him, at least not here. He wouldn't. I glanced over at Levi and saw him grinning at Lila. They were also planning something. I just hoped that Gavin was one step ahead of him.

"I can feel your anxiety," Gavin whispered from beside me.

"This is just a lot," I admit. "I feel like I don't belong here."

His fingers wrapped around mine in a gentle handhold. He squeezed my hand gently.

"You belong by my side," he reminded me. "Where I am, you belong."

I felt my cheeks warming at the sincerity in his tone and at his words. Before I could reply, the auctioneer returned to the podium and tapped the mic a couple of times to test it.

I heard the soft humming of the cameras starting to roll, and the light around the room dimmed. A spotlight appeared on the stage, highlighting Edward as he stood at the podium.

One of the cameramen gave Edwards a thumbs up, and Edwards cleared his throat.
