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

Chapter 758: Hearing this, Allison deliberately guided the conversation, choosing her words carefully.

Yes, it takes quite a while to develop something like this, she said.

But our boss asked for it a while ago, so we already have some ready in the lab.

Her tone remained calm as she added with a smile, Its in his office now.

Youll both definitely get what you came for.

Colton felt a wave of relief wash over him.

Still, there was something about her easy manner that struck a familiar chord.

The feeling nagged at him briefly but soon faded.

After all, how could Allison possibly have been on Devil Island? She was probably wandering around Vrining, enjoying a quiet trip with Kellan.

At that moment, Coltons phone buzzed.

Picking it up, he said, Hey, Mom.

How are you feeling? Oh, my heads killing me, Lindy groaned the moment she heard her sons voice.

If Allison hadnt shoved me into the water last time, I wouldnt be in this mess! Her words rang out sharply in the dead-quiet reception room.

Allison, seated nearby, acted oblivious, her expression calm and unreadable.

Noticing her indifference, Colton responded firmly, Mom, just focus on resting for now.

Ill make sure to get the medicine for you.

Lindy, however, ignored his reassurance and kept venting.

Its not just my headache Im jumpy, and I cant settle down! Colton felt his frustration grow.

I swear Ill bring the medicine back this time.

With that, he ended the call.

Melany noticed the tension on Coltons face and stepped closer, trying to reassure him, Colton, dont stress too much about your mom, she said gently.

This time, well make sure we get what we need.

After speaking, her expression clouded with regret as she lowered her eyes.

Actually, its my fault things turned out that way before, she admitted.

I shouldnt have provoked Allison.

If Id kept my cool, maybe your mother wouldnt have ended up in the water.

Coltons thoughts drifted to the incident at Sunset Hill.

There were too many loose ends that didnt sit right with him.

Melany, what really happened at Sunset Hill? he asked, his tone steady but probing.

He couldnt shake the sense that, ruthless as Allison could be, she wouldnt have acted without a reason.

Melany froze for a moment, her body tensing at his question.

He had never questioned her before, but now doubts started creeping in again.

Colton, maybe she just really hates me and took it out on your mom, Melany said, her voice filled with regret.

Its my fault for taking you away from her.

Her expression was one of deep vulnerability, the kind that often stirred a protective urge in men.
