NovelEnglishChapter 247: Kellan was adjusting his mask when a commotion on the field caught his attention.
Narrowing his eyes, he was surprised to see Allison, who had been taking stoff, now present at the event as well.
Turning to Ferdinand, who had just arrived, Kellan remarked, It seems youre quite cozy with that Green family girl.
Ferdinand shrugged and flashed a casual smile.
Mr.
Lloyd, dont tease me.
You know my father is obsessed with settingup on blind dates with someone from the Green family practically every other day.
He paused, then added, But all that matchmaking nonsense? Its way over my head.
I wasnt exactly in the right frof mind last time, and I offended Miss Green.
Ive been meaning to apologize, but she already blocked and deleted me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKellans lips curled into a faint smirk.
No surprise she stepped on you.
Ferdinand rolled his eyes, silently cursing how infuriating Kellan could be.
It was a wonder how anyone, especially Allison, could tolerate him.
Dude, you should keep that mask on.
That smile of yours is downright creepy! The playful banter between them was typical; neither of them took it too seriously.
By the way, Ms.
Clarke seems pretty chummy with you.
Why didnt you step in when she got into that mess earlier? Ferdinand shook his head, already knowing the answer.
Ah, right.
Youre cold as ice.
No wonder all the women in Ontdale steer clear of you.
You dont know how to be proactive.
Kellans face remained indifferent, his voice slow and lazy.
Sometimes, jumping in just gets you smacked down, like what you just witnessed.
In truth, Kellan had kept the secret of his legs under wraps for years, even competing under a pseudonym. Though he recently revealed it, he never fully showed his hand.
And now, more than ever, he knew that Allison and Rebecca could handle things without his intervention. Ferdinand smiled, teasing, Is that so? Then explain why youre always askingto help Ms.
Clarke with her problems.
Seems like youre not far from getting caught in the crossfire yourself! He left the thought hanging, amused by Kellans evasive heart, wondering when it would finally give way.
Inside the arena, Allison was suited up and ready for action.
Though she had competed internationally, this was her debut in Ontdale.
Colton, geared up as well, was glaring daggers at Allison from across the field.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRebecca, impatient and irked, muttered, Why does that idiot keep staring at us? Makeswant to gouge his eyes out! Allison, unaffected, replied coolly, No need for that.
Its not worth getting your hands dirty.
Men like him you give them attention, and they cling like glue.
Her words dripped with irony.
For three long years of marriage, Colton barely gave Allison the tof day.
Yet now, post-divorce, he seemed fixated on her every move.
Before Allison could finish her thought, Colton, funging from Being ignored finally lost it. Allison, Im not here to take whats not mine.
If you have any decency left, return the jade.
He couldnt decide if it was the jade or m Allison herself that gnawedat his conscience.
All he knew was that just one look from her had the power to unnerve him, and that shook his confidence to its core. Allison let out a soft, mocking laugh.
If the jade belongs to the Stevens family, Id gladly return it to the rightful heir.
Her gaze held his, calm and steady, as if she could see right through his bravado. But tell me, are you really the heir? .
