Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle (Silver and Elliot) novel Chapter 21

A knot formed in the pit of my stomach.

“I apologize…” I said.

“Were your achievements at the auction just a fluke then? Are you incapable of repainting that portrait?”

“Sir, I—”

“I expect better from my exclusive painters,” he scolded, and then he hung up before I could say another word.

I looked at Rebecca who was staring at me with raised brows.

“Why would you turn down the offer?” She asked, curiously.

“I made a promise to Elliot,” I told her. “I can’t go back on my word.”

“Maybe you should speak with him about it.

I sighed, not wanting to talk about it anymore. Picking up on my mood change, Rebecca changed the subject and the rest of the evening flowed nicely.

When Elliot returned to the palace after being away all day, he handed me a red blindfold.

“Put this on,” he instructed.

I raised my brows at his request.

“What for?”

“I have a surprise for you,” he told me.

Hesitantly, I put the blindfold on.
