Mom, Please Marry Daddy novel Chapter 4

Star smiled and thought that she was quite important in Sawyer's heart, and she just ignored the instant tangle of emotions in his eyes.

Silence reigned in the room. Brian continued to play with the bidding card in his hands thoughtfully, while Vincent was grinning from ear to ear. 'The higher the prices reach, the more money I can get, ' he thought.

Just when people thought that no one would brave enough to face down to Brian, a naive and yet somewhat indomitable voice rang out, "200 million!"

All eyes were attracted by the voice behind this new bidding card. When they saw the bidder, they looked at each other, and they could have swallowed several eggs with their slack-jawed mouths hanging open in surprise.

Charles quite enjoyed the sight of the surprised crowd, and he said, "Being a gentleman, I'm both handsome and debonair, and therefore, everyone loves me. It's excusable for all of you to be attracted by my appeal. But can you stop looking at me like starving wolves? I'm afraid my heart will ache!"

Before the crowd could react, Charles' sharp voice had already drawn them back to their senses. The corners of their mouths remained stiff for a long time. They couldn't help but wonder, 'Damn it! Where did this narcissistic little guy come from? He looks so familiar. Have we met him before? But where?' They remained lost in thought for quite a while.

Charles seemed oblivious to what was happening. He stared at the bracelet in front of him. He had promised his mommy he'd get it. But undoubtedly, his extremely narcissistic words had successfully attracted the attentions of Brian and Sawyer. They turned to him at the same time. Someone made a clapping sound as he hit his thigh and said, "Oh, this boy looks just like Mr. Brian!"

In an instant, the crowd was very excited. "Yes, he does look like Mr. Brian. That's right!"

They hadn't expected it because it was difficult to find someone equally elegant and talented to Brian. Now they saw a handsome man like Brian, but unexpectedly he was a little boy! Hold on... Little guy...

The crowd went silent like boiled water that had cooled down. They looked first at Brian and then at Charles. The similarity of their features, combined with Brian's unmistakable way of doing things, quickly seeded a bold guess in everyone's hearts.

As soon as Brian saw Charles, the smile on his face disappeared little by little. The smile vanished, and a deeply pensive look flashed in his eyes. Cassie also sensed that he was acting strangely. "Brian..." However, she didn't stir any reaction in Brian. Fixing her eyes at Charles, she grasped Brian's fingers tightly.

On another face, there was something unreadable glimmering as Vincent looked at the two.

Although Charles' attention was focused on the stage, it didn't mean that he couldn't feel the burning eyes from all around him. "I know you all admire my grace. But can we get down to business first?"

He gazed at the bracelet on the stage with scorching eyes, which made everyone want to call him to discipline. Who was this shameless child? People glanced at Brian, but he didn't make any response. Once again, they didn't know what he was thinking about this eerie event that had occurred.

"You, little boy, 200 million dollars is not pocket change. This is not a place to have fun," someone in the crowd said and made everyone return their attention to this important thing that they were here for. 200 million was not a thing that could be sniffed at, not to mention such a little guy, who might not even know the concept of 200 million.

To be honest, such suspicious gazes made Charles quite unhappy. It was obvious that he was being underestimated. With his lips trembling, he took a domineering step forward with one of his short legs and brushed a few hairs back from his forehead with one hand. "How dare you think such a handsome guy can't afford this?"

With his big eyes wide open, Charles seemed intent on marching up to fight whoever dared to deny him. Seeing such a gesture, Brian smiled and said, "Mr. Su, since no one wants to raise the price, this bracelet belongs to this boy according to the rules of the auction."

When he spoke, everyone was stunned. It was obvious that there was no doubt in his eyes. Could it be said that... Everyone's thoughts were once again running wild with speculations.

"Well, isn't Mr. Brian starting the bidding now?" Vincent looked at Brian with a cunning smile, which contained something that only the two of them knew.

"It's rare for a child to be so interested in a bid. I can't compete with a child, let alone..." Brian looked at Charles, who looked so similar to him. No one could read the meaning in Brian's deep eyes.

As soon as Brian finished talking, Charles nodded in agreement. He was very satisfied with Brian's performance. When Brian looked at him, he felt it.

He remembered that his mommy had told him that no matter the character of people, their eyes couldn't tell lies. However, Brian's eyes, except for the initial surprise, were too calm. 'It seems that my father isn't who he appears on the surface.'
