Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 259: Kellan couldnt wrap his mind around the idea of Allison dying here, not like this.

Perhaps it was the weight of his words, spoken in the face of such imminent danger, that hung in the air like a storm cloud.

For a fleeting moment, Allison found herself stunned, her gaze tethered to the depths of his intense, piercing eyes.

She had always been the shield, the one defending others.

Never before had a man urged her to protect herself.

Kellans voice was hoarse and low.

The puppeteer behind this has been pulling strings for far too long.

Theres no way theyd send just two hired guns.

If something happens to me, Ms.

Clarkeif you canwill you look after Lorna? She holds you close to her heart.

Allisons mind went blank, surprise washing over her like a cold wave.

It was clear: Kellan was passing the responsibility for Lorna to her, as if he were bracing for the worst.

I dont have a taste for this sentimental drivel, she snapped, her voice sharp as a knife.

And I never signed up for this.

Lorna is your responsibility, not mine.

Before she could even reach for the car door, Kellan pressed the lock button on the keys in his hand, and the windows slid shut instantly.

Ms.

Clarke, I already owe you my life, he said, his voice dropping, eyes averted.

Someone will come for you soon.
