Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 144

Skylar's POV: 

Jerome told me that he wanted to talk to Linda and clear things up with her, and I agreed.

I was a little curious about how their conversation would go, so I went over to Linda's room to check up on them.

I stood outside the door but didn't hear any sound coming from inside.

It was as if no one was in the room.

When I noticed that the curtains in Linda's room were not completely drawn, I took a few steps forward.

Through the gap in the curtains, I saw Linda take her clothes off before kissing Jerome.

It was shockingly intimate.

Was I seeing things? Were they really kissing right now? Weren't they clearing things up? Did Jerome lie to me? Was he planning on cheating on me with Linda? He knew Linda first, and it seemed as if I was the third party in their relationship.

It all felt so ridiculous.

I couldn't accept the scene before me and no longer wanted to watch, so I quickly turned around and left.

I made it back to my room somehow, but my mind was in a mess.

I leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to the floor.

My hands rose to my head as I tried to keep calm.

However, what I had seen continued to play in my mind.

I told myself that I should trust Jerome and our love, but the scene just now was so real.

I couldn't look past it.

He must have gotten back together with Linda recently.

I should have considered this possibility earlier.

Jerome and Linda used to love each other so much that her disappearance led him to be depressed for years.

On top of that, she had given birth to his child.

How could he remain indifferent to her? If Andy was the fruit of their love, how could he give her up so easily? It became difficult to breathe even though I tried to keep control over my emotions.

It was difficult enough to love someone and maintain a relationship with them.

It was even harder to give up on that person.

At the moment, my mind was in a mess, and I didn't know what to do.

Someone knocked on the door of my room.

After taking a few calming breaths, I opened the door and acted as if nothing was wrong.

Daniel and Helen had come to see me.

They were holding hands and clearly getting along well with each other.

Helen even brought me a gift.

"This is for you, Skylar."

"Thank you, Helen.Please come in."

I accepted the gift bag and welcomed the two of them inside my room.

My eyes locked with Helen, and her expression shifted into one of concern.

"Skylar, I heard about Jerome and Linda.Are you all right?"

My hand tightened around the gift bag.

I almost burst into tears, but I managed to keep myself in check.

"Yes, I'm fine.Thank you for your concern."

"Don't worry, Skylar.Everything will be fine,"

Helen reassured me as she patted me on the head.

"That's right, Skylar.We're here for you.Don't try to take on everything on your own,"

Daniel added comfortingly.

I nodded, but deep down, I knew that Jerome and I would never be able to go back to normal.

After all, I had just seen him kissing Linda.

They were most likely back together again so I needed to give up on him.

"It's good to hear that you are fine.Helen and I worry about you every day."

Daniel's eyes lit up as he looked at Helen.

It seemed as if their relationship had reached a point where no one could ever break them up.

I was happy to see that Daniel and Helen loved each other so much.

At the same time, I envied them.

No one was interfering with their relationship.

It was just the two of them.

How lucky of them! I was sad about my own situation.

How did Jerome and I come to this point? "What about you, Daniel? When are you going to marry Helen?"
