Chapter 72: At first, Colton had been curious as to why Allison had hidden her talent for three long years.
But now she realized that it wasn't because of her hiding, but because of her insistence that she remain nothing more than a housewife.
He didn't quite understand his own feelings, and a flight instinct surfaced inside him, prompting him to say something provocative to Allison.
No matter how badly you try to imitate Melany, you will never be able to outshine her.
He had already thrown other similar barbs at her.
Each time, Allison quietly retreated, occasionally revealing a flash of sadness.
Colton assumed this time would be no different, hoping it would shake her from her cold facade and provoke some emotional reaction.
Even if it was rage, he longed to see her.
But Allison remained eerily calm, treating him like a simple stranger.
Indeed, regardless of what I've done these last three years, you've hated it all.
You never really saw me, whether I was an orphan or a prominent figure.
You hated me the same.
And now, I feel the same way about you.
Allison had finally come to a place of acceptance, letting go of her childhood obsessions.
Colton, if you could keep a firm attitude and stop clinging to me, maybe I would still have some respect for you.
your persistence Why the pathetic act now makes me nauseous.
Her words, frigid and distant, struck Colton like a dagger to the heart.
Rebecca nodded.
Exact! Why do you cling like a lost puppy.
He couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing you like this, one might think you're still carrying a torch for Allison.
If you continue ignoring Melany by your side, I might end up crying out of grief! And with Allison being so remarkable, even if you wanted to pursue her, you'd have to bury that thought.
But what would your little lover do then? She can't even play the role of the other woman convincingly.
Rebecca's jabs were sharp as razors.
Within moments, Melany, who already felt totally humiliated, began to shed tears down her cheeks.
.
Colton, if you still have feelings for Allison, I will step aside so you can be together.
Melany's voice shook as she spoke, tears flowing freely.
Lastly, believe me or not, I have never intended to drink anything.
I have simply followed my heart in search of true love.
With that, Melany turned and walked away, apparently ready to cut all ties.
Only then did Colton realize he had been neglecting her and yelled, Melany, wait! But she had already started running, with her determined and definitive march.
Colton turned to Allison, fury etched on his face.
You're doing it on purpose.
You thought that by playing hard to get, you'd make me fall in love with you.
Keep dreaming.
I know you used to behave pitifully with me just to create this contrast now.
Although you've certainly caught my attention, don't think for a second that you can take me away from Melany! With that, he ran after Melany.
Allison just shook her head.
How foolish.
At that moment, she realized how foolish she had been to marry him.
Colton was a complete asshole.
Allison even felt that Rebecca had been right to criticize her choice at the time.
Seeing them chasing each other, Rebecca turned to Allison with a questioning expression.
Are you sure Colton doesn't have some kind of mental problem? Now I'm sure he does, Allison sighed in relief.
Let them be together and don't bother me again.
