Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 291: Allison, didnt you say youd come see me? The young man stepped closer, his sapphire-studded sleeve shimmering under the chandelier lights as he slowly removed the mask concealing the upper half of his face.

Without the mask, tousled hair framed his strikingly bright eyeseyes now brimming with an unspoken grievance.

He looked like a forlorn puppy as he gazed at her.

Who wouldve thought that youd rather wear your own design to this dull gala than come find me to hang out? His words hinted at the promise Allison had made to visit him at the Cobweb.

Allison paused, her expression shifting.

It only took her a second to recognize him.

Gordon Herbert.

Her frown deepened.

What are you doing here? They had never met in person, their only interactions confined to the Cobweb.

She vaguely recalled mentioning she would visit him, but with everything piling up recently, it had slipped through the cracks.

Even without knowing his face, their recent conversation had made his identity clear.

Allisons expression grew cold.

She hadnt anticipated being tracked down by one of her own subordinates.

Sensing her wariness, Gordon quickly offered an explanation.
