NovelEnglishChapter 29:Interested in ceramics, right.
Kellan scoffed, looking at Melany.
The coldness of his dark eyes seemed to seep into space, making the air feel even colder.
Melany reflexively clenched her fists and quickly looked away from him.
You say you appreciate pottery, but you can't even tell that this piece was made by Allison.
There's no point in staying here.
Besides, I'm sure Allison doesn't want to see you either.
There it was again - the sharpness of Kellan's tongue.
And letmake one thing clear: | have no patience for people who pretend.
His words cut Melany's composure.
, heat rose to his cheeks as his expression changed between embarrassment and anger.
Inside, he was boiling, but he swallowed it, forcing a bitter smile.
Mr.
Lloyd, what a way with words you have, he said, feigning innocence.
I didn't realize this was one of Allison's creations.

She was always so busy with housework in the villa.
Colton's mother couldn't stop praising her, saying how different she was from those superficial women who
paraded in public.
I guess | figured he wasn't the type to get into something like that.
Who knew he had such hidden talents.
Feigning surprise, he glanced at Colton.
Colton, honey, if you knew Allison was so skilled, why had you never told me? You've madelook like a fool in
front of Mr.
Lloyd.
Colton's eyes grew even colder.
Well, there are many things | didn't know about it.
| couldn't look away from the ceramic, such a meticulously crafted piece, so masterfully formed.
It was flawless, as if it had been created by the hands of an expert.
How was it possible that Allison had such a knack for ceramics? In Colton's mind, she had always been nothing
more than a housekeeper, always managing the household, never expressing interest in anything else,
especially something so refined and artistic.
A Knot Uneasiness twisted inside him.
For years, he had believed that Allison's world revolved around him, but now it seemed as if she had been living
a completely separate life, one that he knew nothing about.
And seeing her sitting next to Kellan only increased his discomfort.
They sat there, in the soft sunlight, absorbed in their work like two pieces of the spuzzle, fitting together
perfectly.
Colton had always seen Allison as a woman.
superficial, recently divorced and already hanging out with sgigolos.
Worse, she had somehow managed to becintimate with Kellan, CEO of the Lloyd Group.
Colton's expression darkened as he pulled Melany closer and put an arm around her waist.
Mr.
Lloyd, I've heard a lot about you.
My grandfather always speaks highly of his leadership and brilliance in business.
But even the best of us can be fooled.
No one is infallible, not even those who seem to have everything under control.
Kellan didn't even flinch.
His attention remained fixed on the clay before him, as if Colton's words had never reached him.

He dipped the brush into the water, smoothing the edges of the piece, completely uninterested in the
conversation.
You think thinning this section would make it more elegant.
Kellan asked, directing the question toward Allison.
Ignore the dogs barking outside.
Emanuel is eager to see this finished.
Allison, absorbed in her craft, responded without hesitation.
No, thinning it here would ruin the balance.
Hollow carving requires a completely different approach, and this clay is not ideal for that technique.
Colton stood there, momentarily silent.
The two continued their quiet discussion about the pottery, completely indifferent to Colton and Melany's
presence.
For Colton, it was an unfamiliar and disturbing sight.
In the past, Allison's eyes had always been on him.
Even during their worst arguments, her gaze never left him.
Now, it was as if he had faded from her world completely.
His grip tightened around Melany's waist, the tension in his fingers matching the growing chill in his expression.
Melany shivered slightly as she felt the squeeze.
