Chapter 881 Under the cold gaze of Mr. Jones and Dillon, she swallowed her pride. “Addy, I‘m very
sorry.” (That is quite alright. I will not take it to heart,” said Adina, waving her hand generously. “I_3 still
have too many things to deal with, so l‘ll leave first.” She turned around on her high heels and left the
study.
Dillon chased after her. “Addy, won‘t you stay for at least a meal?” “I already ate dinner. In fact, I rushed
here right after finishing my meal. It hasn‘t even had time to digest yet.” Adina smiled at her father.
“Dad, you don‘t need to see me out. I can go.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDillon took two more steps forward as he did not want to part with his daughter. Although he had
reunited with her, he didn‘t get too many chances to actually spend time with her. He had never had the
chance to shower her with fatherly affection. “Addy, please wait a minute,” said Dillon. “I bought
something for you. Take it back with you.” Adina wanted to refuse politely. But Dillon had already gone
to his room. He returned carrying several big bags. “Here are a few dresses. I chose them myself,” he
said. “I think they will suit you very well. These bags here have jewelry made of jadeite. Your mother
liked them a lot. I thought maybe you would like them, too.”
He did not know what to give as a gift to his twenty–something daughter. He had never had the time to
get to know her properly. So, he bought her clothes, jewelry, and skin care products that he thought
most people liked.
Adina sighed. She realized that her father was getting old. She also knew that his love for her wasn‘t
just fatherly affection, it was also mixed with regret and guilt he felt for her mother.
She was about to thank him when a shooting pain wrecked the back of her head. That feeling...
Dillon loved her. And she could feel how much he cared for her. It triggered the chip in her.
Adina suddenly turned callous. “I don‘t need any of these. I‘ll leave first.”
She quickly left the Jones family‘s mansion. Dillon carried a dozen bags so he couldn‘t follow her out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAdina walked to the door of the Jones family‘s mansion and took a deep breath. She had been able to
resist the chip‘s orders! She had finally found a way to fight the voice in her head.
As long as she was indifferent enough and did not feel the love of others, she could live and work
without being controlled. Adina sighed sadly. So many people loved her. How could she possibly be
indifferent to them?
“Addy, what happened?” A man approached her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Adina was startled. “Didn‘t you go to the Winters Corporation? How did you return so quickly?”
“There‘s nothing important I need to deal with at the Winters Corporation, so I didn‘t leave.”
Duke hugged her and helped her into the car. “What happened?”
“There was some misunderstanding regarding the project. It‘s all sorted now. It‘s not a big deal.” Adina
smiled. “Let‘s go home.”
