Chapter 287: Melany, can you tell me what just happened? Colton asked, his voice thick with emotion as he regarded her.

A whirlwind of conflicting feelings swirled within him.

She had always been a source of gentleness and understanding in his life.

Yet, after the recent upheaval, the sounds of crying and shouting from their home stirred an unfamiliar irritation inside him.

It was a stark contrast to the peace he once shared with Allison; their home had always been a sanctuary.

Now, he found himself caught in a storm between his mother and his wife, all while juggling the demands of his work.

Colton, its all a misunderstanding, Melany reassured him, her eyes flickering with resolve.

She understood the chess game Lindy was playing, but she was determined not to fall into her trap.

You saw that brooch too, right? It was a gift from someone else.

It would be inappropriate and impolite to re-gift it to your mother.

Her innocent gaze met his, and she appeared blissfully unaware of the brewing storm.

I meant to pick out a new gift for her, but I didnt expect her to be so suspicious of me.

With her eyes glistening, red from holding back tears, she presented a heart-wrenching picture, reminding Colton of her heartfelt words from before.
