Chapter 547


    Chapter 547 Dillon let out a low sigh.


    He had missed out on her for twenty-three years, and it was really hard to try to make it up to her.


    He would not hesitate to get in touch with his daughter if she was struggling in life.


    But now that Addy had be the Winters family’s youngdy, it would be easy to interpret his actions


    as an attempt to establish a connection with powerful people.


    Dillon got up, walked away for a few steps, turned back again, and slowly walked back. He then ced


    a box on the table and said, “Miss Daugherty, I think we have hit it off quite well. Think of it as a gift


    from an elder to a youngster.”


    Adina was startled.


    She nced at the box and was not sure what was inside, but it was impossible for her to ept a gift


    from a stranger.


    “Mr. Jones, I don’t have a habit of epting someone’s gift for no reason. Please take it back,” she


    said calmly.


    Dillon’s hand went stiff, but he still opened the box and quietly said, “This is a jade ne, and it


    matches your skin really well. No one is worthy of this ne except for you.”

    Adina’s gaze was drawn to the jade ne.


    A picture came to her mind, and it was the only picture she had


    of her mother when she was young.


    Her mother was a renowned beauty in Sea City when she was younger. Her mother seemed even


    more stunning in that picture because of the warm, vintage hue. Especially the jade ne hanging


    from her mother’s neck, which was very eye-catching.


    It was the exact same as the ne in Dillon’s hand.


    All kinds of emotions were roaring in Adina’s mind, yet she remained calm on the outside.


    She responded quietly, “This ne looks like it’s been around for a while.”


    “It has been around for over twenty years.” Nostalgia surfaced in Dillon’s eyes. “I didn’t expect that


    twenty years would fly by so quickly. You should try this on, Miss Daugherty. It really suits


    you.”


    Adina blinked.


    It was a ne that her mother had worn, and she was really kind of tempted.


    Seeing that she was not resisting, Dillon quickly moved behind her and whispered, “I’ll help you put it


    on.”


    His hand had just brushed away the long hair at the back of Adina’s neck when he felt a sharp gaze in


    his direction.


    “What are you doing?”


    Duke walked over coldly and pulled Adina into his embrace.


    His eagle-like eyes narrowed on Dillon as he snorted coldly and


    said, “What were you trying to do, Mr. Jones?”


    Dillon was still holding on to the ne, but the person in front of him was already dragged away.


    He suddenly realized it would be really hard to exin himself in that situation


    Adina answered softly, “Mr. Jones was just trying to offer me a gift. He meant no harm.”


    Duke’s eyes were shining with fierceness as he said, “He is giving a gift to someone else’s wife. How


    can that be seen as having good intentions?”


    Adina was speechless.


    How could she forget that this man was a green-eyed monster?


    He could even get jealous of his own son, let alone Dillon, a total stranger.


    Dillonposed himself for a bit and spoke in a calm voice,“ Mr. Winters, this ne is a gift from


    me as an elder to a junior. Could you please help Miss Daugherty wear it?”


    He ced the ne back in the box and handed it over.


    “Please take back such a valuable gift, Mr. Jones. We appreciate your kindness,” Duke coldly said.


    Dillon sighed secretly.


    If only he had moved a little faster.


    Forget it, he’ll find another chanceter.


    He kept the box in his pocket and said, “I’m sorry for intruding.”


    Adina could just watch as the ne her mother had worn was taken back, right in front of her eyes.


    She did not want to have the ne. She also did not want to pass up anything that belonged to her


    mother.
