Chapter 12:Allison, I understand where you're coming from.

Even if you're just lashing out, it's okay if you're not ready to divorce.

Melany bit her lip and continued: I really care about Colton.

Even without a marriage license, I am willing to be by your side.

I'm aware that my sudden reappearance may seem like a slap in the face, but love, after all, follows its own rules, and I ran into it first.

Today, Melany was wearing a flowy red dress, in stark contrast to her fragile and innocent bearing.

To Allison, the vision seemed like that of a tragic play, in which the heroine's efforts only highlighted her desperation.

If you are willing to let him go, I will do everything I can for you.

After all, there is no love lost between the two of you.

You can keep the title, but what I want is Colton's heart.

Melany was searching for a reaction, waiting to see Allison lose her cool.

But Allison maintained her composure, her face a mask of calm resolution.

He raised his hand, cutting off Melany's performance with a gesture that spoke louder than words.

Wait a minute.

I haven't had breakfast, and it wouldn't be nice if I ended up throwing away my breakfast.

But since you're so interested in me stepping aside, I guess you know you're on the wrong side of this, right? Allison's voice was as indifferent as a winter's frost.

How do you plan to make amends if I give it to you? Melany stood paralyzed, tongue-tied.

Allison continued, a wry smile at the corner of her lips.

How about you show me gratitude right now.

So, you can start with my blessing, like a fresh slate.

Her laugh was filled with sharp sarcasm.
