GoodReadChapter 804:
But Colton cut her off, saying, “I'm not up for it tonight; | can’t go with you.”
His hand tensed, the veins in his forearm standing out starkly. “You should head back.”
With a casual wave, Colton flagged down a taxi. “You need to rest at hfor the baby’s sake.” His voice left no
room for argument; it was an order.
Reluctantly, Melany climbed into the cab and departed. Silence reclaimed the space.
From her spot, Allison could just make out Colton’s solitary figure. He slumped down on the chilly rim of the
fountain.
A beep echoed.
Colton started dialing a number he knew by heart. But the call went unanswered.
After all, Allison had long ago blocked his number, so the call didn’t connect.

Beside the fountain, his face bore the marks of heartbreak, yet he seemed not ready to let go.
“Allison, I'm sorry.” His voice was raspy, tinged with the weight of abandonment.
His mind replayed the last three years, all the moments with Allison. Yet, he had never truly valued her presence.
Nearby, Allison overheard his remorseful admission, her face unreadable.
She shifted her gaze and walked away, her steps firm, leaving no room for second thoughts, as if what Colton
and Melany had talked about had nothing to do with her.

“My people have already met with Mrs. Blake. You did well,” he said. The noise on his end was chaotic, hinting at
skind of mess. His voice was raspy but surprisingly clear. “Now, take Elevator No. 3 to the top floor. Jareth
will meet you there.”
“Got it,” Allison replied. She followed his instructions, stepping into the elevator with ease. It was a glass lift,
designed for sightseeing. Her call with Verruckt was still active, and she could hear faint static from his side.
Something felt off, so she kept her tone casual to probe further.

are you?” The cpntert@ort- ©
