Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

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.

With that thought, she slowly opened the cabinet door, putting on an innocent smile.

Lloyd, what a surprise to find you here.

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

He struggled to comprehend why she would be lurking in this forbidden nook.

The air was thick with awkwardness, like a fog refusing to lift.

A coincidence, perhaps? Yet, everyone knew it was far from random.

Breaking the weighty silence, Allison cleared her throat twice before saying, I accidentally stumbled in here.

How could he possibly buy that? Especially considering this was a restricted section of the Lloyd estate, accessible only through a hidden passage.

However, he opted not to dwell on her unsolicited presence; what truly mattered was… It truly is a coincidence.
