Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 196: Kellan casually remarked, If it werent for my close bond with Allison, I doubt Id have had the pleasure of meeting you today.

It was rare that he referred to her by her first name.

Floyds expression remained serene, his eyes curving into a smile as he glanced at Allison.

Mr.

Lloyd, theres no need for such formality.

Allisons friends are naturally my friends.

We share a solid rapport, so youre not an outsider here.

Kellans tone deepened as he replied, Oh, I dont feel like an outsider at all, especially since Allison is a friend of mine too.

Sherman, sensing the rising tension beneath their polite exchange, quietly stepped back.

The air in the room felt heavy, thick with unspoken competition.

Kellans mood seemed darker than expected when the doctor arrived.

It was clear that his mood was far from cheerful.

What a sweet little girl, Floyd cooed, crouching down to Lornas level.

Lorna instinctively recoiled, gripping Kellans pants for protection.

Floyd didnt flinch at her response, maintaining his warm smile.

Mr.

Lloyd, relax.

Ill do everything I can for Lorna.

Its the least I can do after all the care youve given to Allison recently.

His words were laced with Allisons name.
