My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563

Mdm. Xavier frowned. “Did the Jones family receive a wedding invitation?”

Dillon felt slightly awkward. “No.”

He purposely came to deliver the gift one day in advance because he did not receive the wedding invitation card.

He did not see Adina after he went to the Winters family‘s mansion, so he went to the Xavier family’s mansion instead.

“This is a wedding gift that I prepared for Ms. Daugherty.” Dillon took out a small box from his shirt pocket before he lifted the lid. “This emerald green jadeite necklace really compliments you, Ms. Daugherty. I hope you‘ll accept it.”

Adina looked at the necklace.

It was the item that Dillon had wanted to give to her at the wedding gown shop the other day. It was a piece of jewelry that her mother used to wear.

“Oh, why does this necklace look a little familiar?” Mdm. Xavier frowned before she immediately chuckled. “I‘m old, and I‘ve seen too many things, so I find everything familiar. Mr. Jones, please don‘t mind me.”

Dillon smiled and spoke like a gentleman. “All jadeite pieces are similar in appearance, so it‘s normal that you find them familiar.”

After he spoke, he looked at Adina again, and his black eyes were filled with faint expectation.

Adina walked over, pursed her lips, and said, “Thank you for your gift, Mr. Jones.”

Dillon was delighted. He immediately handed the piece of jewelry to her as if he was afraid that she would go back on her word. He got up and said, “I still have something to do, so I can‘t stay much longer. I‘ll see you around.”

After he said that, he pushed his chair back and walked out.

Adina was speechless.

She had not handed the wedding invitation to him. Why was he leaving so quickly?

Mdm. Xavier leaned forward. “The necklace looks a bit old and doesn‘t seem to be of much value. Why would a Jones family member intentionally deliver this to you?”

“What else could it be? He must still like you!” Sophia sashayed in. She scoffed and said, “I truly don‘t understand why men like you regardless of whether they‘re young or old. You look beautiful, but your character‘s really unpleasant. If those men knew who you were, they would run as far as possible!”

Sophia sneered and said, “You‘re even accepting a gift from an old man the day before your wedding. You see, if Duke Winters knows about this, would he still want to marry you?”
