Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Allison dodged Kellan's question completely, using her words to poke Melany slightly while wearing a carefree, almost playful smile.

I'm just here for the show, a little fun aside.

Kellan chuckled, clearly amused by her detour.

His tacit understanding was palpable.

Allison was deliberately downplaying her true potential, and it didn't go unnoticed.

Intrigued, Kellan smiled and said, Well, in that case, I wish you the best of luck, Miss Clarke.

The thought that the woman who had once been at his side side now sharing an unspoken relationship with another man ate away at him.

It disturbed him more than he wanted to admit.

Even though they were divorced, the fact that Allison had once been his only added insult to injury.
