Chapter 184: Allison softly closed her eyes, mentally chastising herself for her carelessness.

Now that she had been discovered, the very notion of hiding felt like chasing shadows.

Lloyd, what a surprise to find you here.

Kellans cold, unyielding demeanor softened at the sight of her, momentarily leaving him speechless.
