Finn picked up the call without much hesitation.
Compared to Finn, Abel was still just a kid.
But the boy had grown. His voice was rougher now, with a slight gravelly tone. The urgency was clear in his words. “Uncle Finn, I need to tell you something.
“I’m begging you.”
He bit his lip, sounding serious.
Finn’s brows twitched, surprised.
This nephew of his had always carried himself with rare pride. He was destined to stand at the top of society.
But now, he was actually begging.
Finn closed his eyes tiredly and didn’t respond.
Abel could sense something strange on the other end, but the uneven breathing told him it was really his Uncle Finn.
“Go on.”
Finn’s voice was low and hoarse.
Abel blinked, feeling like there was some bitterness and annoyance behind that short answer.
He shook his head, pushing the thought aside.
What am I thinking? He’s my uncle, after all.
“The pearl necklace you bought at the auction-I want to buy it back at ten times the price.”
Abel rushed the words out.
A low chuckle came through the line.
“For that woman you’re with?”
Abel froze for a second, then replied firmly, “Yes.”
“Does she know you’re doing this?”
“She doesn’t have to.”
“When did you two meet?”
“Two-”
auctions? Do
Finn stayed quiet, slowly sitting at his desk. After a long pause, he exhaled smoke.
He couldn’t ignore the jealousy building inside him.
It shook and confused him.
Why?
Why am I feeling like this?
His face blurred like in a fog.
He slowly raised a hand to press it against his chest.
Feeling the strange pounding there, Finn felt lost for the first time in his life..
“Uncle Finn?”
