Capítulo 492: Do You Measure Love by Monetary Value

To Calix's relief, the auction ended before nine in the evening. He successfully bid for the pieces of jewelry he set his eyes on, including an ink painting.

The guests began to mill about after the auctioneer announced the conclusion of the event, followed by a speech from Mr. Chang. The latter thanked the guests for participating in this fundraising auction.

"The haircomb is so nice. I'm glad I got it."

"...the vase is for my father-in-law. His birthday is near."

"...heard the profits will go to homeless shelters this time. Then..."

The bits of the guests' conversations drifted into the air, blending with the soothing melodies played by the speaker.

Staying in his seat, Calix remained composed. A soft but content expression was drawn on his face as he imagined how happy Leslie and Calliope would be with the new gifts.

Oh, he also didn't forget the ink painting for his loving and naggy grandmother.
