Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter35　Heaven’s Missing An Angel

It was later in the evening; the sun was low in the sky and the smell of delicious food being cooked filled the mansion. Scarlett had been in the kitchen for the last two hours. Jessica had come in once to ask if she needed help, but Scarlett had refused. Her mother still looked upset, and she knew Elijah’s reaction had hurt her.

She hoped this meal would get the family back to some normalcy. With Grandma Amelia’s feisty personality, she was sure the evening would be entertaining at least.

She looked around the dining room, she had lit candles along the centre of the table adding a cosy touch to the room. The sun was beginning to set outside the window, enveloping the room in a warm red glow. It was not as warm today either. She smiled satisfied at her work and looked in the mirror that hung above the fireplace.

She wore a halter-neck sunflower coloured cotton skater dress that fell to mid-thigh. It showed off half of her back and teased the tip of her yellow bra. Her hair was up in a messy bun atop her head. Large statement earrings hung in her ears, winged liner and red lipstick finished off her look.

She blushed knowing she dressed up for a certain someone. Her eyes fell to her neck, where she had placed a large skin-coloured plaster over the mark. Foundation did not do much to cover it, so she had to resort to using a plaster.

Someone cleared their throat making her twirl around.

Jackson stood there smiling at her, she was glad to see he was ok and had healed from his head injury.

“Dad I didn’t see you there…” She said, Jackson chuckled.

“A girl in love is often lost in daydreams.” He said, making her eyes widen.

“What… love… no…” She said lamely, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He grinned.

“I do know my daughter well enough to know when somethings changed… Yellow? It’s not a colour you would go for.” He said tugging her cheek. Scarlett frowned with a pout.

“Dad it was in my wardrobe… So technically it is a colour I’d go for…”
