Chapter 18:Colton had already lost concentration once tonight on the yacht.

If that day Allison had seemed like a fiery rose, full of thorns, now her serene composure made her resemble the moon shining outside: soft and luminous, but equally distant and cold.

Once the initial astonishment faded, everything What remained was a feeling of profound unfamiliarity.

The Allison he once knew never bothered with makeup, and her eyes had been warm and kind.

Now, those same eyes were cold, as if he were a stranger to her.

There was no trace of affection left.

Not even bitterness.

For reasons he couldn't pinpoint, an inexplicable irritation flared inside Colton.

Noticing her distraction, Melany became frustrated and her eyes flickered with a hint of jealousy.

Lindy, are you okay Melany stepped forward, her hand gently caressing Lindy's back as if she wanted to comfort her.

Allison, whatever our differences, We should fix it between us.

How can you treat Lindy like that? She's our oldest daughter.

You're not worried about upsetting her.

Melany glanced at Kaelyn, giving her a silent signal.

Kaelyn noticed immediately.

Exactly, Miss Clarke! How can you be so inconsiderate You are an orphan and have no parents, right If the Stevens family had not taken you in, you would be living the life you are living now Even after Mr.

Stevens divorced you, he did not leave you empty-handed.

You left with four million! And this is just by invitation, no.

But here you are, causing the lady all this pain.

It's clear as day that someone like you can't hold a candle to Miss Johnson's grace! Seeing how they teamed up, Allison wasn't the least bit surprised.

Kaelyn was Lindy's loyal lackey, and without Lindy's approval, she wouldn't dare act so boldly with Melany.
