Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 283: They were showering compliments on each other, yet neither truly meant a word of it.

Allison couldnt resist the urge to tease, her tone dripping with exaggeration.

Kellan replied with a languid drawl, Maybe you really are a retired pro racer after all.

With a playful sparkle dancing in her eyes, Allison declared, Who knows? I might even be a world champion.

The confidence radiating from her was a striking blend of self-assuredness and sharp insight.

And there was a kernel of truth nestled within her boast.

Indeed, she had graced the global short-track speed skating scene and had received tempting offers to join professional teams, yet she had turned them all down.

To her, skating was simply a delightful pastime.

Kellan leaned back, propping his chin on his hand as he regarded her.

Even in jest, her unique charisma had a magnetic pull.
