Chapter 292: Gordon leaned in closer to Allison, a mix of eagerness and nostalgia dancing in his eyes, almost as if he were about to shake her hand all over again.

Allison, Ive missed you more than you can imagine! If Floyds warmth was like a soft breeze, Gordons smile was a burst of sunshine after the storma perfect blend of charm and youthful exuberance.

Especially after those heartfelt words, he looked almost unbearably pitiable.

However, Kellan, standing firm beside her, didnt release Allisons hand.

No matter who you think you are, it doesnt give you the right to act recklessly or touch someone you shouldnt, Kellan shot back, locking eyes with Gordon.

His gaze was dark, almost unreadable.

But Gordon wasnt fazed.

He simply reached out and took hold of Allisons other wrist, his smile still innocent, almost playful.

Reckless? Hardly, he replied.

Ive known Allison for a long time, so whats wrong with catching up with an old friend? Gordons expression was pure innocence.

So, Mr.

Lloyd, Id say this is none of your business.

Then, turning his attention back to Allison, he added, Right, Allison? Were good friends, after all.

At that moment, both men stood with a light grip on her wrists.

They werent forceful, but the tension between them was undeniable, their gazes sharp and unwavering.

The air between the three of them seemed to tighten with unspoken words.
