Chapter 822 A Gift For Loved One

Jean was already home when Neera arrived.

He left the auction before it had concluded.

When he saw the box in Neera’s arms, he asked knowingly, “Is that the painting you got from the

auction?”

Neera nodded. Her eyes twinkled with delight.

“Yup, do you want to see it?” she asked.

Jean nodded. “Sure.”

They reached into the box and pulled out the painting. The couple admired it for a while.

Jean’s gaze was still fixed on the painting when he casually inquired, “Did you get anything else?”

“Not really,” Neera said, “but Avery did. He won a set of jewelry. He claimed it was a gift. Given his

determination, it must be for someone he likes.”

Jean found her casual remark suspicious. His face grew darker when he heard this.
