Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 117

“Yeah, what would you do without me?” He teased.

My phone chimed at that moment, and I scrambled for it. My heart was racing as I looked at the screen, hoping that it was Silver. I had Shirley’s number blocked for right now, so I knew it wasn’t her. At some point, I’ll talk to her Shirley, but not right now. My priority was Silver and only Silver.

It wasn’t Silver, but it was the next best thing. The only window I had to Silver.

Rebecca: I finally got her out of bed and ate something. She’s still a shell of herself and tears keep escaping her eyes when she thinks I’m not watching. But it’s progress.

My heart ached for my wife; I wanted to hold her and tell her that it was going to be okay. I wasn’t going to let anything bad happen to her or our marriage again. Nobody would ever come between us.

I replied to the text right away.

Me: Do you think she will be ready to talk to me soon?

Rebecca: Maybe. I told her that you and Shirley aren’t mates.

Me: I wanted to be the one to tell her.

I couldn’t help but feel a bit aggravated that she heard this information from Rebecca and not from me. But I was also relieved that the misunderstanding was cleared up.

Rebecca: Sorry, but she needed to know the truth.

Me: I’m coming over.

Rebecca: Not yet! Give her some more time!

I shoved my phone in my pocket, not bothering to respond any further.

“Leo, get the car, I’m going to Rebeccas,” I said with urgency.

“Maybe you should shower first?” He suggested.

I frowned and took a whiff of myself; I winced.

“Yeah, good idea.”

I did exactly as my beta suggested and I showered; after I changed my clothes and dried my hair, I went back downstairs feeling like a new man. Leo smiled, approvingly.

“Are you sure you want to storm her apartment building again?” He asked, raising his brows and dangling the keys to the car in his hands.

“I need to see her. I’m done waiting,” I said with finality.

He smiled even wider.
