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

Chapter 468: Kellan clenched his jaw, and his voice slipped out low and cold.

Get lost.

Unfazed, Ferdinand shrugged, settling back into his seat with a faint smile.

Fine, we wont talk about her.

He paused, then regarded Kellan thoughtfully.

But I was actually planning to drop by your office today to discuss that collaboration we talked about, only to hear you were unavailable.' His eyes narrowed with playful suspicion.

Rumor has it you were off entertaining the Perry heiress.

Kellan scoffed immediately.

Shes not worthy.

Ferdinand arched an eyebrow, smirking.

True.

No one quite measures up to Allison, huh? After the silence that followed, Kellans voice finally came, raw and edged with something vulnerable.

Shes leaving.

To her, Im… nothing.

Ferdinand exhaled, setting his glass down with a sharp clink.

Ah, so thats it.

I knew you were off tonight.

For a moment, he sat back, considering his friend.

You know, maybe the problem is youve spoiled her senseless.

Put her on a pedestal.

Now shes got you wrapped under her little finger.

Kellans gaze dropped.

I dont mind it.

Ferdinand was speechless.

He rolled his eyes, fighting the urge to slap some sense into him.

And that right there is your problem! Look, if you want a woman to feel something, you need to shake things up! He leaned forward with a frustrated exhale.

Women… theyre always dancing around their feelings.

Theyll say they dont care, but they absolutely do.

Its in their nature.

He paused, eyes glinting with an idea.

Heres a thoughttry the jealousy trick.

Always works in my book.

Huh? Starting tomorrow, cozy up to Carole, make her think twice.

See how Allison reacts when someone else seems to catch your attention.

Dude, Kellan muttered, youve got to be kidding.

He wasnt having any of it.

Ferdinand chuckled, unfazed by Kellans cold glare.

Oh, come on, how would you know its a bad idea if you havent tried? This stuff always works in the movies.

With that, he settled back, clearly pleased with himself despite Kellans stony silence.

After all, he was the CEO of the worlds largest advertising company and prided himself on the films hed studied.

A scoff escaped Kellan, but he fell quiet, swirling his tequila.

In his mind, Allisons words from earlier echoed back to him, lingering with a sting he hadnt quite shaken.

The thrill of uncertainty is addictive, but that doesnt make it love.

Their history had always been a tangled mess of half-truths, fueled by fleeting passions and pleasures a twisted habit to pass the time.

But now, more than anything, Kellan knew one thing for certain.

What he truly craved wasnt the ambiguity.

It was her.

The next day, in the CEOs office Carole entered with a casual, almost presumptive air, her smile a little too practiced.

She gave Kellan an expectant glance.

Kellan, why didnt you answer my call last night? We were worried, wondering if something had happened to you.
