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

Chapter 477: Kellan took the pills silently, swallowing them without a word, his expression remote.

Ferdinand took in his pale face, the tightened jaw, and the barely concealed pain lingering in his eyes as Kellan sank onto the sofa.

The weather feels like a damp blanket.

The humidity was so thick that it seemed to press down on everything, even Kellans mood.

His throbbing headache drummed steadily in his temples, mirroring the relentless heaviness in the air.

Across from him, Ferdinands expression was a mixture of exasperation and humor as he shook his head.

Well, congratulations, youve officially lost your marbles.

After handing Kellan a bottle of painkillers, he paused with sudden realization.

Wait.

Dont tell me… you actually asked Allison if she liked you, and she straight-up shot you down? Ferdinands smirk grew as he convinced himself he was right.

Kellan, sitting slouched on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, seemed cloaked in shadow despite the golden light spilling over the city outside.

He gave a faint sigh, almost merging with the darkness.

Shut up, he muttered.

But Ferdinands teasing had already left its mark, stirring emotions Kellan had been trying to ignore.

Did she really not care about him? He replayed the memories theyd shared, the closeness theyd built that seemed to go beyond casual.

Theyd shared more than just good company; it felt like a connection that went deeper.

Could that have happened if shed felt nothing at all? After all, she had so many admirers.

She could have found another man easily if she wanted, but she didnt.

And yet, she was acting distant from him, even outright refusing his offer to accompany her to Vrining.

Latest releases on g@ℓησv????ℓs․com So, was it all just a game to her? Conflict and doubt tangled in Kellans chest, his thoughts a chaotic storm that only worsened the throbbing in his head.

He lowered his eyes, concealing his expression beneath a quiet intensity.

The silence in the room thickened, but Ferdinand, oblivious or perhaps just stubborn, continued, completely undeterred by Kellans terse response.

Looks like Im onto something.

Playing hard to get can push people away, sure.

But you need to stir her emotions, get Ms.

Clarke to actually show her cards.

Kellans eyes closed as he replied, voice low and cold, Your approach is useless.

She didnt react at all.

Every subtle attempt hed made to gauge her feelings had backfired, pushing her further from him.

Ferdinand shrugged with a dismissive sigh.

Then maybe you werent pressing hard enough? The morning light streamed in from one side of the room, bright against the thick shadows cast by blackout curtains on the other.

Even Ferdinands voice carried a note of weariness as he continued, Why not give it one last shot? If that doesnt get her attention, then maybe… maybe she just doesnt feel the same way.

He let out another sigh, unable to hold back.

Besides, theres no shortage of options.

Find someone whos worth your time, and let this go.

As soon as Ferdinand said this, he sensed a chilling atmosphere, an inexplicable coldness.

There was silence.
