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

Chapter 481: Although she lacked the courage to speak to Kellan directly again, she quickly shifted her focus to Allison.

Kellan has such a… unique way with words.

Ive always thought I might be the only one who truly understands his personality, Carole ventured playfully.

Ms.

Clarke, you wouldnt know this, but most people see him as cold, even ruthless.

I, on the other hand, know just how caring he is toward his grandmother.

Carole subtly implied that she was familiar with Kellan.

Allisons gaze, steady and composed, barely shifted at Caroles words.

It sounds like you have a rather unusual bond with Mr.

Lloyd, she replied, her eyes tracing the light that settled along Kellans strong profile.

Her gaze held a serene calm.

To Allison, Caroles attempts at subtlety seemed clumsy, almost laughable, not even on par with Melany.

A smirk flitted across Caroles face, satisfied with what she took as Allisons concession.

Well, I suppose Ive seen a side of him that others havent had the privilege of knowing.

At that, a soft chuckle escaped Allisons lips.

A side of him that others didnt know? Her mind flitted back to memories private moments in a secluded room, Kellans breath drawn sharp and ragged, even the faint trace of red at the corners.

In those intense encounters, he was both the one in command and the one surrendering to the thrill of control.

The tools hanging on the wall revealed a truth that bordered on the forbidden.

And then there was the night with the assassin in Athton Kellans relentless fury, his merciless precision that left no room for second chances.

It was far from the gentle image Carole imagined.

Just as quickly, their eyes broke away, as if the moment had never existed.

Carole asked, Ms.

Clarke, were you laughing just now? Allisons chin rested on her hand as she casually stirred her coffee.

Yes, the comedian in the theater next door told a great joke, she replied.

Carole blinked, momentarily thrown off balance by the cool indifference in Allisons tone.

Allisons words hit their mark: she was the joke! Caroles hands tensed on the table, her smile forced.

Ah… I see.

Inwardly, Caroles mind raced.

Something about Allison had felt off from the beginning.

Even while abroad, shed had Kellan watched, tracking any hint of distraction.

And since that first clash with Allison in the office, shed dug for information.

She soon learned that Allison and Kellan had far more history than shed imagined.

But it didnt matter.

A woman raised in an orphanage would never be welcomed into the Lloyd family, no matter her connection to Kellan! As Carole opened her mouth to say more, Kellan interrupted, saying, Miss Perry is here on behalf of the Greenfield Group to discuss a collaboration.
