My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
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 become the Winters family's young lady, 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 placed 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 glanced at the box and was not sure what was inside, but it was impossible for her to accept a gift from a stranger.

"Mr. Jones, I don't have a habit of accepting 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 necklace, and it matches your skin really well. No one is worthy of this necklace except for you."

Adina's gaze was drawn to the jade necklace.

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 necklace hanging from her mother's neck, which was very eye-catching.

It was the exact same as the necklace 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 necklace 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 necklace 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 necklace, but the person in front of him was already dragged away.

He suddenly realized it would be really hard to explain 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.

Dillon composed himself for a bit and spoke in a calm voice," Mr. Winters, this necklace is a gift from me as an elder to a junior. Could you please help Miss Daugherty wear it?” He placed the necklace 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 replace another chance later.

He kept the box in his pocket and said, "I'm sorry for intruding."

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

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