Chapter 86: Consequences

Adeline was elated at Elias's decision. She had happily skipped to the car, after getting dressed in a white shirt and black pants. That is until she opened the door, and he was sitting there. Legs crossed, hands resting on his lap, Elias wore a cunning smile.

"Oh look, we're matching," Elias teased, even though he was still dressed in full black, and the only thing matching was her black pants.

"You— you—" Adeline fumbled to show her disappointment. Eventually, she slid into the car, purposely hitting him with her shoulders.

"What? You don't seem happy to see me," Elias teased.

"At least you have eyes to tell that…" Adeline mumbled under her breath, looking away from him. 

Adeline knew she wasn't in the spot to compromise. He had gladly let her out of the castle to deal with this issue. Though, she shouldn't even be weighing on his every mercy.
