Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 2: Mrs.

Clarke, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! Kaelyn hurried down the stairs, looking extremely worried.

Maybe I can put everything in a bag for now, she added, hiding her disdain behind a sweet smile.

Kaelyn had always looked down on Allison, considering her nothing more than a poor country girl who had shamelessly fallen for Colton for a better life.

Colton frowned in frustration.

How clumsy you are, he snapped, looking at the scattered clothes.

Allison's suitcase contained very few clothes and hardly any jewelry.

She hadn't even spent much of the money he had given her over the years.

She lived simply, frugally, and it was a reflection of how she had never tried to take advantage of her status.

But love could not be forced or faked.

Melany's baggage takes priority.

Put Allison's things in a storage bag, Colton added dismissively, looking at the broken suitcase.

"I'll have the housekeeper buy you a new morning.

" Allison gave a small, bitter smile.

That suitcase was the one I stole from the kidnappers when we were fleeing to save ourselves.

If it hadn't been for her, we would have drowned then.

For years, she had cared for that suitcase, just as she had cared for her marriage.

And now, like their relationship, it was destroyed.

Colton let out a cold laugh.

That story may fool my grandfather, but it doesn't work on me.

His memory of being kidnapped as a child was too vague, and he always doubted that Allison had been with him during that time.

Turning to Kaelyn, Colton raised his voice.

Hurry up and collect your things! Yes, sir.
