Triplet Mommy’s Triumphant Return by Quinn Hart novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 

“Did anything happen at the auction house?” Melanie asked. 

Jeff’s face immediately fell as he heard her question. 

“Ms. Robertson, I’m afraid the auctioneer of the Fashion Art Auction can’t make it,” he replied. 

“What happened?” 

Melanie’s heart skipped a beat. 

The entire spring auction had dozens of auctions. The auctioneers, lots, and event bidders had all been confirmed in advance. 

If anything went wrong, it would be disastrous for the whole auction. 

“What about the other auctioneers? Let Patricia Novak fill her in,” Melanie said, pinching the middle between her eyebrows. 

“I’m afraid not. Patricia went to Solustria and won’t return until tonight. There is only one hour before the auction begins. Patricia will never make it back,” Jeff said helplessly. 

Hearing this, Melanie was burning with anger. 

“Jeff, didn’t you know how long we planned the spring auction? How could such a thing happen at this time?” 

“Ms. Robertson, none of us wanted that. The auctioneer suddenly had a relapse. She is still in the hospital now,” Jeff replied, looking around the room. 

“Didn’t you hire a young auctioneer? Why not let him host the auction?” 

“Which auctioneer did I hire? Can you be more specific?” Melanie asked. 

She had a bad headache because she didn’t sleep well the night before. But now the auctioneer suddenly became ill and her head was about to explode. Jeff was also puzzled. There was no sign of Ethan in the office. 

“Isn’t there a child in your office? He came to the company early in the morning

and stated that he was an auctioneer you hired,” Jeff replied. 

As soon as Melanie heard Jeff’s description, she knew it was Ethan. 

“Isn’t it a lovely boy in a black hoodie?” she asked. 

“Yes. Where is he? He said he would wait for you in your office,” Jeff asked, confused. He began to look around the office again. 

“Don’t look for him. He is sleeping in the lounge. He’s not a small auctioneer but my son.” 

As Melanie spoke, she quickly looked through the Fashion Art Auction List. 

She didn’t notice the surprised look in Jeff’s eyes. She would let Angie host the auction if she had to. 

Suddenly, the door of the lounge opened and Ethan walked out. 

“Mommy, I’m an auctioneer.” 

As soon as Melanie saw Ethan waking up, she asked Jeff to grab some food for Ethan. 

“Ethan…” 

Melanie put Ethan on the sofa, ready to admonish him for running away from home. 

Unexpectedly, Ethan threw himself into her arms and began to cry as soon as she spoke. 

“Mommy, you’re too partial. You let Elias stay here but sent me back to the island. You didn’t love me at all.” 

Melanie opened her mouth to speak and then closed it. 

“Ethan, I don’t want to separate from you either. But if I don’t send you back to the island, they’ll take all of you away from me,” she explained. 

Ethan raised his face and blinked his bright eyes. “Who will take us away? Is it Daddy?” 

“Yes, I don’t want to lose you guys,” Melanie said, holding Ethan in her arms.

“But I heard from Elias that Daddy was a very nice person, and the Lambert family was also very kind.” 

Hearing Elias‘ words, Melanie suddenly felt bad. 

“You contacted Elias. Did he ask you to come to Zerivia?” 

“No. I missed him so much that I contacted him. Don’t worry, Mommy. No one else knows,” Ethan replied. 

“That’s good. I will bring Elias home tonight and you two can meet each other. But you have to go back to the island with Uncle Enzo tomorrow, okay?” 

Elias‘ eyes flashed. He then lowered his head and said obediently, “Okay, whatever you say.” 

Jeff brought a lot of delicious food. 

Seeing that Ethan ate happily and agreed to go back to the island, Melanie felt relieved. 

When she was about to have a good chat with Ethan, he said he would like to watch. the auction. 

Jeff also volunteered to take Ethan to watch the auction of Rising Star. Melanie agreed after thinking for a while. 

There were ten minutes till the Fashion Art Auction began. Angie hadn’t arrived 

yet. 

Melanie couldn’t think about anything else right now. She had to get to the auction. hall to keep the situation under control. 

As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she heard Jeff’s voice on the speaker. 

“I’m sorry, everyone. The original auctioneer was unable to host the auction due to a sudden illness. But you can rest assured that we’ve specifically invited Ethan as our guest auctioneer.” 

“No!” 

Melanie ran to the venue and saw Ethan standing on the auction block in a black shiny suit.

Just when she thought Ethan would be booed out of the auction block, there was a huge cheer. 

she wondered, ‘What’s going on?‘ 

A childish voice was heard.
