Amanda instinctively avoided as such a demeanour was too intimate.

Joan was not embarrassed. He said, “Your hair is messy.”

She reached out and tidied up her messed hair. She sagged her eyes and said, “Thanks.”

Nina looked at Amanda and then at Joan. Her lips curled into a smile. She then happily ate the

cherimoya. When she saw the exquisite box on the table, she asked, “Dad, what’s inside this box?”

“Clothes,” Joan answered.

“For whom?” she asked again.

Joan said it was for Amanda. Nina pulled Amanda, “Open it to take a look.”

Amanda said uncomfortably, “It’s better not to look at it.”

“You’ll have to wear it, why don’t you wear it first to see if it fits. You won’t have a chance to change it

later.” Nina pulled her, “Take a look please.”

Amanda had no choice but to take off the cover of the box. There was a black fabric dress lying inside.

Its style could not be determined by just looking at it but one could see that the fabric was special. It

was made of pure black cloth but there were hidden dark patterns. In any place where there was a

light, it would reflect extremely dazzling light.

“Try it on.” Nina reached out her small hand and touched it, “It’s so smooth.”

Amanda lightly flicked her forehead, “Kid, it’s better to be good.”

“Am I not being good?” Nina blinked.

“You’re hyperactive. You should be a quiet little girl,” Amanda said deliberately.

Nina was speechless.

She moved into Joan’s arms and complained to Joan, “Dad, look at her. She isn’t cute at all.”

Amanda was speechless.

Joan turned to look at Amanda.

She promptly looked down at the dress in the box, intentionally avoiding meeting his eyes.

“You put it on. It’s 5 p.m. now. We’re going out at 6.30 p.m.” Joan knew she was avoiding him, “Let

Sally help you.”

After saying that, he said to Sally, “You help Ms. Nelson to take the clothes to the room.”

Sally came over to get the clothes. Amanda said, “I’ll go in first then.”

She got up and never looked at Joan.

Joan pursed his lips, probably knowing why she avoided him like this.

He let out a light sigh.

“Dad, why did you sigh?” Nina raised her head.

Joan carried her, “Let’s go to feed the fish.”

Nina said joyfully, “Okay.”

The fish were kept in a pit that was dug out of stone. It was an irregular rectangle with aquatic inside.

Several cute fish were swimming happily in it.

Nina brought fish food, threw fish food into it one by one while lying on the edge.

Joan, however, was not paying attention to this. He looked up in the direction of Amanda’s room in the

house.

Inside the house.

Amanda changed into the dress.

It fitted exceptionally well as if it was tailored to her. It outlined her shapely physique to perfection.

Sally who was standing aside said in the Thai language, “It fits you really well.”

Amanda smiled as it did fit, “Sally, you can go to do your thing. You aren’t needed here.”

“But…”

“It’s fine. I can do it myself.”

Sally nodded, “Alright then.”

She walked out.

Amanda sat down in front of the dressing table and simply primped herself. ‘Wearing such formal

clothes, not only it’s inappropriate to not wear make-up, but it’s also rude.’

Thus, not to embarrass Joan, she had to make herself look good too.

Sally came out and walked to the courtyard. She saw them at the fish pond and walked over, “Ms.

Nelson said she could do it herself.”

Joan nodded. He quickly thought of something else and said, “Sally, come with me.”

Sally said, “Yes.”

Joan went into the house and went upstairs. He went into the treasury, which had accumulated the

wealth of several generations. Gold, diamonds, all kinds of expensive jewellery, land and property, and

deeds to the store were laid out in stacks.

Gold, silver and luxurious jewellery were packed in boxes.

He opened a box placed on the top, took out a red velvet box from it and then handed it to Sally, “Give

this to Ms. Nelson.”

Sally raised her eyes to look at Joan, “Isn’t this Madam’s favourite jewellery before she passed away?”

Sally’s mother was the personal maid of Joan’s mother. She was now old and recuperating at home.

When she was at a very young age, she often came to this mansion. Joan’s mother was kind and

treated the maids very generously.

The maids who stayed were all in awe of and loyal to the Morton family.

She had seen Joan’s mother wearing this set of jewellery before and heard her mother say that Madam

was very fond of it.

Joan did not explain anything but simply said indifferently, “Bring this to her.”

Sally nodded, “Yes.”

She knew there must be a certain reason that Joan did this.

Joan closed the door. This place used to use a lock but now, technology had developed so high-tech

anti-theft technologies were utilized, such as face recognition, fingerprint recognition and Morse code.

Ordinary people could not enter.

That set of jewellery was indeed left by his mother when she was alive. To be exact, it was an heirloom

symbol that symbolized the identity of every mistress of the Morton family.

It was passed down from this grandmother to his mother.

His mother kept it very carefully.

It was rarely worn and only for important occasions.

Joan’s mother passed early and could not watch him getting married and having children. Before she

passed, she told him to give this set of jewellery to the person he liked.

Before that, he stuck for etiquette as Amanda was already married. He did not show any feelings for

her but now, he knew that she was divorced.

He felt he could chase her.

In the room, Amanda wore delicate make-up. Without make-up, she was like a natural and refreshing

lotus while with make-up, her innocence had a touch of charm.

Sally knocked on the door. After Amanda let her come in, she opened the door and came in. She

handed over the set of jewellery she was holding.

“What is this?” Amanda asked.

Sally opened the box. Amanda saw a set of blue diamond necklaces with exquisite workmanship and

high-quality material.

There were seven pieces of jewellery in the set. The big ones included a necklace, a bracelet and the

small ones included a pair of earrings, a ring, a pin and a hair clasp.

The quality of the diamonds was top-grade. The blue colour was evenly distributed and each piece of

jewellery had the same quality.

A large diamond of good quality with high brightness and rare colour was nonsuch. If it fulfilled these

characteristics and could still be combined with the others with almost no difference in terms of quality

to put together as a set of jewellery, it was even rarer.

The huge blue diamond on the necklace was about the same size as the pink one she had. However,

hers was alone.

This blue one was different as it was surrounded by small and large accessories, making it a

magnificent and valuable set of jewellery.

Although Amanda had been around, she felt that it was inappropriate to wear such precious jewellery

of others. She had a small necklace that could serve as an embellishment. Such kind was too grand.

Sally placed the box on the table, carefully took off the necklace and put it on Amanda’s neck. Sally

thought since Joan had her bring it to Amanda, he must have wanted her to put it on.
