Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 313: After slipping into more formal attire, Melany and Colton settled into their seats, neither wearing a smile on their faces.

Colton pressed his fingers to his temple, his eyes squeezed shut.

Yeah.

Irritation simmered beneath his skin.

Allison had developed a habit from her profession: whenever she entered a new space, her instinct was to locate all exits and observe the ebb and flow of people.

That instinct was how she immediately noticed them.
