Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter 253

After a while, Yolanda finally noticed something off. "Mom, look at their clothes."

Everyone was dressed to the nines; even Rosemary was in a light pink suit, her hair pulled up high, and she radiated a cool yet aloof aura.

They, on the other hand, seemed to be misfits.

"Did we wear the wrong clothes?" Yolanda felt uncomfortable in her dress, and it finally clicked why they received puzzled and annoyed looks at the entrance.

It turned out they were dressed inappropriately!

Olga realized it too and felt a tad embarrassed. They had never been to a land auction before and had no clue about the dress code.

Attlee tried to comfort them, saying, "Even if we did dress wrongly, it’s no biggie. People will only care about who bags the land, not what you’re wearing."

Romeo and Rosemary sat side by side in the front row, their hands tightly clasped. Hunter, sitting next to them, said coldly, "Keep some distance."

"The AC is too cold; I’m just trying to warm Rosemary’s hands. I’ll let go soon."

On hearing Romeo, Hunter turned to Rosemary and asked, "Are you cold?"

"Um–hmm." Rosemary could only nod in agreement.

Hunter took off his coat and gently laid it on Rosemary’s lap, saying, "Wrap this around you. I’ll get someone to turn up the heat."

"No need." Rosemary didn’t finish her sentence before Hunter was already speaking to a staff member.

"Your high ponytail looks great." Romeo brushed a strand of hair from Rosemary’s forehead, admiring her delicate features, and gently said, "You look good in a suit too."

"You look good today too." Rosemary looked into his eyes and said softly, "I’ll give you that piece of land later."

"Give it to me?"

"Mmm–hmm." Rosemary raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don’t you want to build a Ferris wheel and a shopping street?"

Romeo was surprised that she knew about his plans.

He had planned to give it to her once it was built. He had already thought of a name.

But Rosemary didn’t know about his intentions; she thought he was interested in the commercial value of the land. "Anyway, since someone is paying for most of it, I’m just regifting it to you. But it’ll take some time."

"That’s nice. You always think of me." Romeo leaned in closer, his breath brushing against her ear.

Just as Hunter finished talking to the staff, he turned around to see them whispering again, leaving him puzzled.

Everyone around them was shocked to see their intimate behavior and stared in disbelief.

This was the first time they saw Romeo whispering sweet nothings to a girl in public.

Especially to a girl who seemed to be barely out of high school.

Who the hell was she that Romeo was so smitten? Can they share the secret?

Yolanda, sitting in the last row, felt a pang of jealousy seeing Romeo always leaning in to whisper something to Rosemary. She couldn’t help but wonder why he was so nice to Rosemary!

They always seemed to have a lot to talk about and share. They looked like a couple in love!

No wonder Rosemary was not interested in Zachary; she had already found a better choice.

Before the auction even began, representatives from various groups got up to greet Romeo, the Kenneths, and Hunter in the front row.

Olga noticed Rosemary leaving her seat and wondered where she was going. Shortly after, Romeo followed her.

Seeing Rosemary’s seat empty, Olga quickly took the opportunity to sit next to Louisa and said, "Hello, Mrs. Collins, we meet again. You remember me, right? I’m Attlee’s wife, Olga."

Louisa was chatting with a few ladies when she saw Olga sitting in her daughter’s seat and felt immediately annoyed. "Who gave you permission to sit here?"

Caught off guard, Olga felt the mocking gaze of the ladies and tried to laugh it off: "I saw Rosemary go to the restroom, so I—"

"You think you can call Rosemary by her first name?" Louisa immediately signaled a staff member.

"Mrs. Collins, please let me explain."

Before she could finish her sentence, a staff member interrupted, "I’m sorry, but could you return to your own seat?"

Olga wanted to protest, but with all eyes on her, she had no choice but to stand up and smile, "Mrs. Collins, we’ll chat later then."

"Chat about what? Mrs. Collins doesn’t even know you. Who do you think you are, trying to cozy up to her?"

"Exactly! There are many people who want to suck up to Mrs. Collins, but you’re the first one who’s so shameless!"

"Why are you still here? Where did this nobody even come from? Just because you walked through the door, do you think you’re entitled to talk to Mrs. Collins?"

"Today’s land is definitely going to be the Collins family’s!"

"Let’s congratulate Mrs. Collins in advance."

Louisa gestured for them to stop the premature congratulations, as she had no interest in the land and would definitely not buy it, which would mess up her daughter’s plans.

She and her husband were here because, after the auction, they were to attend a dinner party with their daughter.

But others didn’t know that. They assumed the Collins family was here in full force to buy the land, indicating its potential commercial value.

This made them think even more highly of the land’s value.

After being snubbed, Olga vowed to teach them a lesson!
