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.”
