Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 294: The nights quite stunning, and the seas equally alluring.

Are you planning to linger here for a late-night dip? Kellans voice, unhurried and casual, floated through the air as he gazed up, his obsidian eyes reflecting a depth that felt endless.

But beneath the lazy tone, there was a silent warning.

Kellan was more convinced than ever that Allison and this young man were more than just passing acquaintances, though the nature of their interaction remained veiled in secrecy.

Around people she knew, however, her body language softened just slightly.

And it was glaringly obvious that Gordon wasnt a stranger to her.

There was something hidden between them, a secret that felt impenetrable to outsiders.

The kind of unspoken rivalry between men was something Gordon was all too familiar with.

But intimidation? That wasnt in his nature.
