Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 286

Skylar's POV: 

When Jerome took me to our new home, I still hadn't come to accept the fact that Jerome and I had really left Rainbow Pack.

I thought I was in some kind of dream.

Because I was pregnant, Jerome cleaned the entire place by himself and he even called a moving company to help carry our belongings into the beautiful villa.

When the movers were bringing the furniture inside, Jerome held my hand and said, "Honey, let's go out for some air.By the time we get back, the house should be ready."

I nodded and followed Jerome outside.

We sat on the sand, staring out into the boundless blue ocean in front of us as the waves hit the shore and touched our toes.

It felt like a treat to be able to enjoy such precious moments with the man I loved.

"Oh my God, Jerome.It's really beautiful here!"

I was over the moon with joy, taking Jerome's hand in mine.

"This place is going to be our happy new home."

Jerome looked at me gently with a smile.

"I'm glad you think so.I was afraid that you might not be able to adapt to living on a remote island."

As we walked along the coast of Rube Island, the soft breeze from the sea blew on my face and cleared up the dark cloud that had enveloped my heart for quite some time now.

The other inhabitants who were also walking on the beach smiled at us warmly and greeted us.

Jerome waved back at them and said, "Hello! Have a good day!"

It was such a pleasant change of pace from the fear and distrust we had to face at the Rainbow Pack.

I tugged at Jerome's arm and said, "Everyone is so nice and friendly.You are right.We can start a new life here since no one knows who we are or where we came from."

Jerome pulled me into his arms and then gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Honey, you won't have to worry about anything anymore.Our lives are going to be simpler and happier.After our baby is born, I'll teach him how to swim in the sea."

As the sunlight fell on his gentle face, his loving smile caused my heart to beat faster.

"Just think of it as our honeymoon," Jerome said and he winked at me playfully.

Then, he stared deeply into my eyes and leaned in for a kiss.

I felt my heart flutter and I said, "Jerome, this is so romantic!"

We kept walking along the coast until we came to a barbeque restaurant on the way.

Jerome pointed at the restaurant and said, "Hey, do you want to have some barbeque? Perhaps if you eat something different, your morning sickness will get better."

"Okay," I agreed happily.

"We get to eat deliciously grilled meat on the beach.This is turning out to be better than I imagined."

We walked into the restaurant and the owner welcomed us warmly.

"Please have a sit.What would you like to eat? We also have an all-you-can-eat buffet.Just ask the waiters and they will prepare everything for you."

Jerome smiled and said, "We'd prefer to do it ourselves.Besides, I want to impress my wife today."

The owner gave me a wink and said, "No problem!"

A waiter set up a grill on the beach and brought in a bag of charcoal.

We ordered some chopped vegetables and marinated meat to barbeque.I was quite surprised to see that Jerome knew his way around a grill.

He taught me how to stick the iron skewers into the vegetables and meat before they were seasoned with spices and oil.

I was very excited because this was a new experience for me.

After the food was ready, the smoky aroma pervaded my nose and made my mouth water.

My eyes lit up at the tenderness and succulent flavor of the meat, but even though I accidentally charred most of it, Jerome ate it all without complaining even once.

"Jerome, you've done quite well! It's delicious!"

"Really? You should eat more if you like it so much."

Jerome looked at me with a doting smile.

My flushed cheeks showed my shyness as I looked away.

Only this man could make me feel like that.

Having finished our meal, we decided to walk back.

As the wind blew through my hair in parching gusts, Jerome told me to stand and pose with the beach to my back.

He took out his phone and said, "Honey, you don't know how beautiful you look right now! Let me take some photos of you and send them to Helen and Jennifer."

Needless to say, I complied happily, lifting up the hem of my dress as I came up with a wobbly pirouette and struck a pose.

I looked at him and said, "You'd better not make me look bad in any of the photos."

It was said that time passed quickly in delightful company.

It had already been a few hours since Jerome and I left the villa and I barely even noticed it.
