Chapter 388 - 391: The Origin of the Citrine Necklace
If Lily Gray really was the person he was looking for, knowing Bella Scott would, of course, mean knowing her mother.
“No wonder you asked me about Starlight Orphanage last time…” Lily Gray nodded in realization.
Her mother used to frequently go to Starlight Orphanage for charity work, and it wouldn’t be surprising for David Redington to know her mother since he seemed to know someone from the orphanage.
However, she had put away that necklace after losing it that time.
At that time, she was not even seven years old. Did David Redington know her mother so early?
At that time, he was less than ten years old. And yet, he remembered the necklace.
Seeing her lost in thought, David Redington’s deep blue eyes flashed a glimmer of darkness.
No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he first saw Lily Gray.
Weren’t those eyes almost identical to Bella Scott’s?
However, there are many people in the world who look alike.
In order not to make a mistake, David generously revealed some truthful information, “The reason I know about that necklace is not just because I know your mother. In fact, that citrine necklace was given to you by my mother.”
“Your…” Lily Gray couldn’t believe her eyes.
David Redington’s mother gave it to her?
“Heh.” David laughed lightly, “Now, are you really confused deep inside, afraid that I’ll tell you that necklace is a token of our childhood engagement?”
Lily Gray: “…”
For a moment, she really had that thought flash through her mind.
“Don’t worry, it’s not.” David lowered his eyes, concealing that fleeting glimmer in his eyes, “That necklace is just a blessing from my mother. You know, there is a… inside that necklace.”
“There is a little angel!” Lily Gray couldn’t help but add.
Something emotional flashed through the man’s deep blue eyes after hearing Lily Gray give the correct answer.
Even the faint smile that always lingered on his lips turned into a cold, straight line at that moment.
Lily Gray… she must be Bella Scott’s daughter!
“Yes, there is a little angel.” David looked up at Lily Gray.
This time, the hidden depth in his eyes was completely concealed. With a curl of his lips, the warm and gentle man smiled warmly.
But.
No one knew.
At that moment just now, he almost couldn’t help but want to destroy the woman in front of him with his own hands.
“So that necklace was given to me by your mother… was your mother my mother’s good friend?”
However, as far as she could remember, she didn’t seem to know David Redington and his mother.
“I suppose so. But my mother… she’s very busy. And she lives in Europe, so she never returned to Eastonia. Maybe that’s why she lost touch with your mother.”
David would not tell Lily Gray the truth.
Of course, his mother didn’t know Lily Gray’s nominal mother.
His mother’s name was Sylvia Scott, so he should actually call Bella Scott Auntie and Lily Gray cousin.
As for why the necklace was given.
Heh…
Thinking about everything that had happened back then, David’s deep blue pupils darkened for a moment.
Never mind.
It’s all in the past.
Soon, he would make the Ford family’s true wealthy lady pay the price for what happened back then.
“Oh, I see… that’s why I didn’t see you and your mother when I was a child. By the way, what is your mother’s name? Maybe my mother mentioned her to me?”
As David listened to Lily’s words, his eyes darkened slightly, considering whether to reveal his mother’s name to her in advance. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the doorway.
“Skye Brown… you shameless mistress, I’ll kill you!”
