GoodReadChapter 812:
Watching him struggle, Allison felt a wave of disgust.
She laughed bitterly. “Nine months? What's the deal? Letguess. Is Melany pregnant?”
Colton flinched, caught off guard by her direct hit. He didn’t bother to deny it, his expression a mix of guilt and
resignation.
“Yes, she’s pregnant, and it wouldn't be right to leave now. But once it’s settled, I'll make things right—I
promise.”
Before he could finish, Allison's laughter cut through the tense air, bitter and cold. “I don’t like playing stepmom,
and | especially despise husbands who cwith children,” she said, her gaze sharp as it pierced through
Colton. “Tell me, why should I pick you over someone like Mr. Lloyd?”
That hit Colton like a ton of bricks. After all, Kellan was both single and wealthy, making Colton look like nothing
in comparison. He found himself speechless.
As Allison turned to leave, Colton reached out desperately and grabbed her arm. “I can’t measure up to Kellan,

He searched her face for any sign of belief. “As for the child, once it’s born, my mother will take care of it. Our life

Colton, his face pale, pleaded, “No, just givea chance to make things right...”
Allison could tell Colton was drunk, and reasoning with him was pointless. Without hesitation, she slapped him
hard.
The sound echoed as Colton stumbled backward, his cheek flushing a deep red.
Allison's voice held a menacing undertone. “Consider this a pass for helpingonce, but if you hassle me
again, it won't just be a slap next time.”
With those final words, she turned and walked away.
Colton, still facing the direction of the slap, watched her climb into a car. As the engine roared to life and the
vehicle pulled away, leaving only a cloud of dust behind, he touched his stinging cheek and let out a soft, mad
chuckle. “Allison, does your slap mean you still care?” But his question hung unanswered in the empty air.
Allison climbed into the car, greeted
