Chapter 626

Adina and Dillon were talking in a remote corner.

Both of them were dressed in black, so they did not attract too much attention.

"Ms.Daugherty, have you not rested well lately? Your dark circles look pretty heavy."

Dillon stared at her face and sounded a little worried.

"If you can’t sleep, it’s best not to take sleeping pills.Drinking some warm milk and taking a hot bath
before you sleep will help you to rest."

Adina smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr.Jones.I'll take note of that."

Dillon hesitated to speak, but he added, "Please don’t mind me asking.Is there a problem with your
marriage?"

Adina looked up and stared at him indifferently.

"I'm sorry!"

Dillon quickly apologized.

"I’m not trying to be nosy.I just...want to show my concern.If you find it offensive, you can choose not to
answer."

"My husband and I have a stable marriage.We’re very close.Thank you for your concern, Mr.Jones."

Adina smiled faintly and seemed relaxed.



Dillon was not a businessman, but he was already fifty years old.

The fact that he had lived to this age meant there was little he could not understand.He could see that
Adina was just being perfunctory.He could also see that there were some problems with Adina’s
marriage.

But he did know how to continue asking and caring about her.He was like a stranger to Adina.

Why would she tell a stranger about her personal love life? Ever since news of Duke and Adina getting
a divorce came out the other day, he had not been able to sleep.He felt sorry for his daughter, whom he
did not get back.

At the same time, he felt ashamed because he was happy.

If Adina truly divorced Duke, could he take this daughter back to the Jones family when she felt down?
But it was just a thought that crossed his mind.He would rather Adina have a happy marriage and live
happily for a lifetime.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Right then, Daniel walked over and set his sights on Adina.

"This is?"Dillon snapped out of his daze.

"This is Ms.Daugherty."

"Pleasure to meet you, Ms.Daugherty."

Daniel gently nodded at Adina before he looked at Dillon and softly said, "Dad, Mom’s death
anniversary is approaching.How have you prepared for it?"

Adina heard what he said clearly, and she smiled calmly.

"Mr.Jones, I'll leave you here.I have to make my way over there."



She walked to the side with poise and spoke to her other business collaboration partners.

Dillon appeared regretful.

He turned to the side and asked, "Daniel, why did you come over here all of sudden?"

"Dad, are those photos in your room of Ms.Daugherty?" Daniel asked indifferently.

Dillon’s gaze changed.

"Did you enter my study?"

"Dad, I don't mind if you find me another stepmother, but it can’t be Ms.Daugherty," Daniel said coldly.

"She’s just two years older than me, and she’s Mrs.Winters.Dad, you better not act foolishly."

Dillon was in disbelief.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If you don’t want people to find out, you better not do it," Daniel said with a straight face.

"Mom’s death anniversary is coming up.You should prepare for it."

After Daniel spoke, he walked away.Dillon’s face turned red from anger.

Adina had a very pleasant conversation with a few CEOs, whom she had collaborated with before.She
cast a glance at the time.

It was late, so it was time to leave.

She looked in the direction where Duke had disappeared, but she did not see the familiar figure.
