Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine Read Online Free

Chapter 104: How long am I supposed to wait? Lindys voice sliced through the silence, her patience wearing thin with each passing moment.

It felt as though Colton wasnt taking her illness seriously at all.

Who knew how long it would take for the mysterious Hackers World to reboot? Frowning, she added sharply, In the meantime, youd better start making connections abroad.

If I have another attack, it could cost me my life.

Although the worst of the pain had passed, leaving her feeling slightly better, the sight of Melany only fueled her dissatisfaction.

Werent Melanys family supposed to have powerful connections overseas? Yet, Melany seemed completely useless.

Meanwhile, Allisonan orphan of all peoplewas proving far more resourceful.

Melany could feel Lindys sharp gaze, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

With a composed smile, Melany spoke, though her voice barely concealed the frustration bubbling beneath the surface.

Lindy, I have good news.

My parents have cleared their schedules.

Theyre arriving from abroad today to help plan the wedding.

And theyll be bringing carefully chosen gifts.

Her tone was sweet, but the underlying message was sharp.

Unlike Allison, the easily controlled orphan, Melany had the backing of influential parents.

Lindys expression stiffened, but then softened as the meaning sank in.

While Melany might not outshine Allison in every way, having wealthy parents was a considerable advantage.

In the ongoing battles with mistresses and rivals, a well-connected daughter-in-law was a powerful asset.

Ah, I see.

Thats wonderful, Lindy said, her voice smoothing as she took Melanys hand, her touch warm yet calculated.

Ive been unwell and may have said things I shouldnt have.

Youve been through so much already.

With your parents arriving, I can host a proper welcome dinner for them.

Itll be the perfect opportunity to finally meet my in-laws.

She shot a quick glance at Colton, who seemed lost in thought, his attention wandering once again.

She needed to remind him where his priorities should lie.

As for the medicine, she continued, theres no need for you and Melany to worry about it.

Ill have someone else handle it.

If necessary, I can always tap into Keanus contacts.

Colton, your focus should be on your future in-laws and finalizing the wedding plans.

gⱯlnσν????????s﹒????????????, the heart of fiction Her true motive, though unspoken, was clear.

If Melanys parents could be convinced to support them financially, it would provide the perfect leverage.

Seeing Colton still distracted, likely thinking about Allison, Lindy nudged him lightly.

Whats wrong? Daydreaming about your in-laws already? Snapping out of his thoughts, Colton looked at Melany, who smiled up at him.

The thought of their wedding should have filled him with excitementit was, after all, the dream he had envisioned for years.

Yet, as the day drew closer, he couldnt shake a growing sense of unease.

Every time he thought about the future, Allisons face would drift into his mind.

If only it were the old Allisonhe wouldnt have had to worry about a thing.

But now? The Allison of today was colder, more distant than ever.

Pushing those unsettling feelings aside, Colton kept his expression neutral.

Of course.

Ill make sure to give them a warm welcome.

He reached out to brush a strand of hair behind Melanys ear, and she leaned into his touch, resting her head against his chest.

From afar, they looked like the perfect couple.

But beneath the surface, both were playing their own game.
