Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 349: That bracelet youre wearing isnt that the one Gordon spent all that money on? Colton staggered to his feet, his gaze fixed on the bracelet dangling from Allisons wrist.

He completely missed the subtle mockery hidden beneath her otherwise expressionless face.

He had sobered up earlier, but Melany was nowhere to be found.

So, he ended up waiting outside the hall, his patience wearing thin.

The sight of Allison emerging so late only fueled his irritation.

I dont care about whatever arrangements youve made with those men, he continued, his voice laced with bitterness.

You were right about one thing: since the divorce, I have no business meddling in your life.

Colton let out a hollow laugh.

He had intended to confront her, but after everything that had happened today, the urge died in his throat.

There was no point in asking questions when the answers would be meaningless now.

But the truth was, despite everything, he needed her help.

Allison had been prepared to lash out at him again, but something in his sudden calmness caught her attention.

She studied him as if he were a puzzle she couldnt quite solve.

So, youve been waiting here for me? she asked.

Colton remained silent, the turmoil swirling in his chest.
