?<strong>Chapter 1066:</strong>


    “Yes,” Ken replied without hesitation, his fingers tightening around hers, as though staking his im.


    It wasn’t just jealousy — it was a deeper, more primal feeling. Ken could sense the envy and malice in the eyes of some of the people around them.


    Were it not for the crowd, he would have ensured that any ill-willed individuals knew the price of their thoughts.


    Allison arched an eyebrow yfully.


    “Should I just wear long-sleeve shirts and long trousers next time?”


    “No,” Ken said with an intensity that made her heart flutter.


    “Allison, it’s not about what you wear. It’s about the bad intentions of others. If I wanted to restrict your freedom, I never would have gifted you this gown. To me, you’re stunning no matter what you wear.”


    Ken had seen her at her most vulnerable when she was fighting for her life, and at her most natural when she just awoke in the morning. No matter what version of her he encountered, he found something to love.


    Allison was momentarily stunned before her eyes softened. She then leaned in and ced a kiss on his lips.


    “Ken, I feel the same way about you.”


    They had shared their deepest fears, their darkest moments.

    In each other, they had found the person who truly understood them.


    At that moment, a voice called out to her.


    “Allison! It’s been a while.”


    Colton approached them, his voice hesitant as he took in the sight of Allison and Ken walking hand in hand.


    Though their paths had crossed only asionally in recent years, Colton could not ignore the transformation in Allison. Gone was the simplicity of her past. She had be a vision of beauty so striking that it was almost impossible to approach.


    But what left him stunned was not just her appearance — it was the sweetness in her smile, the tender kiss she shared with Ken.


    For three years, only he had been the recipient of such looks from Allison.


    But now, that affection was directed at Ken.


    “Yes, Allison,” Mny chimed in, joining Colton with a sly smile, linking her arm with his.


    “What a coincidence to see you both here.” Her words, however, carried an edge, a jab hidden beneath the surface. “I didn’t expect you two to be so close so quickly.”


    Although Mny was smiling, her words were like a knife to Colton’s chest.


    “I don’t believe I’ve seen you make it official yet,” Mny remarked, her voice tinged with skepticism.


    She was certain that Ken was merely toying with someone like Allison — an orphan, no less.
