Plus, Jaxon told her that he would buy the necklace designed by Frederic for her during the auction. It was the first time Jaxon had mentioned gifting her something since they married. The necklace was a unique piece and one of its kind in the world. So Winona wore a low V-neck gown with nothing adorning her neck, waiting for
