Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 281: Allison instinctively frowned upon hearing those words, a wave of irritation washing over her.

She had thought her stance was perfectly clear, yet here was Kellan, boldly asking the same question.

Perhaps he believed his words carried some hidden ambiguity.

He locked eyes with her, clarifying, What I mean is, how can I keep you by my side? Keeping a respectful distance, he continued, I know youre no ordinary person.

Anyone connected with MDH, a prestigious pharmaceutical research facility, wouldnt be swayed by financial incentives.

Kellan was aware that Allison had joined Charisma Company primarily to gather specific information.

More importantly, he sensed that once she had what she sought, she would disappear from Ontdale without a trace, much like when she had left Leswington years ago, leaving Floyd searching in vain.

But Kellan was not one to sit idly by.

What I really want to know is how to keep you here, Ms.

Clarke.

When their eyes met again, Allison found herself captivated by the calm composure radiating from him.

Even in stillness, Kellan possessed a magnetic aura that was hard to ignore.

His words danced on the edge of a love confession, yet still carried the weight of professional ambition.

Allison tilted her head, probing him for an explanation.
