Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

When Gordon smiled, his eyes seemed to shimmer with a captivating light.

There was a youthful energy about him, a certain liveliness that made it feel as though the entire world faded away when he looked at Allison, as if no one else existed in his gaze.

But right after speaking, he felt a shiver run down his spine as a cold gaze closed in on him.
