Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 72: At first, Colton had been curious as to why Allison had hidden her talent for three long years.

But now she realized that it wasn't because of her hiding, but because of her insistence that she remain nothing more than a housewife.
