Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 87

“Yes?” He asked.

I opened the door slightly and poked my head in.

Shirley was sitting on his desk with her leg crossed over the other and Elliot was seated on his chair, facing his computer. He barely looked up to see me.

“Well, look who it is. Is Luna work too much for you?” Shirley asked mockingly.

I pressed my lips together in a thin line. I expected to see Beta Leo in here as well, but he wasn’t. It upset me knowing that Elliot had been locked away in this office alone with Shirley.

“No, it’s actually going great,” I told her as I looked at Elliot.

He paid me no attention and that irritated me.

“I came here to see if Elliot was hungry,” I said, talking to Shirley but looking at Elliot.

He looked up at me.

“Shirley and I just finished eating a bit ago. Have you not eaten yet?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

His words were like a punch in the stomach, and I had to keep from flinching.

“No, I haven’t,” I murmured. “I’ve been so busy I hadn’t had the time. I’ll go eat now.”

I was about to leave when Shirley said from behind me, “We are going to work a lot this evening, so don’t bother waiting up for him.”

That time I did flinch, but my back was turned toward them so neither of them saw. At least, I hoped they didn’t.

“It’s quite okay,” I said, holding up my hand and stopping his words. “I’m not worried about it.”

He nodded, but the look on his face was unconvinced.

Elliot didn’t return to the packhouse, and he didn’t return home. Throughout the last couple of days, it’s been about the same. I would just miss him at the packhouse, and he would return home late. He would spend most of his time with Shirley or some of the other Alpha’s for training, but no time would be left for his wife.

I suppose I was just a contract wife, but I thought we had made some progress in our relationship since the banquet. I guess I was wrong.

I heard chuckling in his office as I walked by and I paused outside the door, knowing I shouldn’t be eavesdropping but unable to help myself. I knew the chuckling was coming from Shirley.

“This necklace is beautiful, Elliot. Thank you so much for buying it for me,” she said, her voice almost flirtatious.
