Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 245

Jennifer's POV: 

"It looks like the party is over.Honey, let's go back to our room,"

Anthony said as he stretched his hand out to show me the time on his watch.

I nodded and followed Anthony out of the lounge soon after.

As soon as we stepped out of the lounge, we saw Elizabeth.

"Oh, I see that you're already leaving.I was just coming over to tell you that the celebration party was over.You should go and get some rest.Anthony, you must take good care of Jennifer."

Then, she turned to me.

"Jennifer, please be mindful of your health.If you feel even the slightest bit of discomfort, do not hesitate to call me.I know some of the best doctors in the city."

"I will.Thank you for your kindness, Mrs.Jones." I smiled at Elizabeth, holding Anthony's hand.

"Please take care of yourself as well.Try to get some rest as soon as you can.We will see you tomorrow."

Anthony and I stood waiting as Elizabeth left with the aid of a maid.

Soon, after saying goodbye to the other guests, we finally went back to our room.

I freshened up quickly before lying in the big bed with Anthony.

"Isn't it astonishing how quickly time flies? I didn't expect the coronation ceremony to come so soon.I'm nervous, Anthony.What if I am not fit to be a queen?"

The weight of the title filled me with dread.

In the past, I had spent a big part of my life living in fear of being hunted down by Arthur.

At that time, if someone told me that I was going to become a queen one day, I would call them crazy and laugh at their faces.

It was Anthony who changed my fate completely.

"Jennifer, all you need to do is take care of yourself and the baby.Leave everything else to me.I will always be there to support you.No one will ever disrespect you."

Anthony leaned over and kissed me gently on the forehead.

"You're right.I shouldn't be overthinking.It's not good for the baby."

As I spoke, I got up from the bed to get a glass of water, but Anthony reached out to help me.

"Jennifer, lie down and tell me what you need.I'll get it for you,"

Anthony said as he looked at me with concern.

"Anthony! Now, you're the one who is overthinking! I just wanted to get a glass of water." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Just lie down.I'll get it for you."

Anthony turned around and went to fetch me a glass of water.

"Anthony, I'm just pregnant, not disabled.You're being too dramatic." I sighed.

"Honey, you'll have to deal with me acting like this for a few more months.Besides, if I don't take care of you, who will?"

Anthony winked at me playfully as he passed me the glass of water.

I felt amused by Anthony's affectionate side.I smiled back at him and then took a sip from the glass.

"Anthony, I am so lucky to have a mate like you to spend the rest of my life with," I said, holding Anthony's hand and peering deep into his eyes.

"Jennifer, how are you feeling now?" Anthony lay down beside me.

'I'll ask the doctor to conduct a comprehensive check-up on you tomorrow, just in case."

"I'm feeling a lot better now.Don't worry about me.By the way, I have to tell Skylar the good news."

I grabbed my phone from the bedside table and called Skylar.

"Skylar, how have you been?"

As soon she answered, I couldn't wait to share my joy with Skylar.

"Let me tell you a piece of good news.Anthony and I are going to get married in ten days.Then, Anthony will inherit the position of king, and I will become the queen in a ceremony after our wedding.I hope you two can make it since the coronation and wedding ceremony will be on the same day."

"Oh my God, Jennifer!"

Skylar shouted excitedly on the other end of the line.

"That's good to hear! I am so happy for you! I would love to be there at your big day, but I'm afraid I'm going to making trouble for you."

"Why would you say that? How could you make trouble for me?"

I sensed a hint of sadness in Skylar's tone, so I comforted her.I surmised that she must have been worried about her special powers again.

"Don't worry about anything else.Anthony and I will visit you two in a few days, okay?"

"Jennifer, you don't have to come all the way over here just to make me feel better.Besides, Jerome takes good care of me.You should only be thinking about yourself and the wedding right now.Please congratulate Mr.Jones on my behalf.I'm sure he's going to become a noble king.I hope everything goes well for the both of you," Skylar said gently.

After a few words with Skylar, I hung up the phone.

Anthony turned off the lights, as he looked ready to go to sleep with me in his arms.
