Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 291

Jennifer's POV: 

Thankfully, the banquet went on smoothly.

Guests kept coming to propose a toast to me, but Anthony stopped them.

"I'm sorry.My queen is pregnant now, so she can't drink."

As Anthony spoke, he would raise his glass.

"I'll drink in place of her."

True to his word, Anthony then downed the wine in his glass, which made the guests around us applaud.

Seeing how Anthony spared no effort to protect me, I felt warm in my heart.

'My child has a good father" I thought contentedly.

Before the banquet, I had fretted that Larry would try to stir up trouble.

But so far, Larry hadn't showed up, which made me feel relieved.

Anthony was thorough and had strengthened our security tonight.

If Larry dared to show up, he would only be caught.

"Honey, since you can't drink, let me bring you a glass of apple juice,"

Anthony whispered to me.

"Anthony, you are already the king of the Osman Kingdom.You don't have to do such a menial task.Just ask a maid to do it."

Despite saying this, I was moved.

He always cared about me, especially in times like this.

"Honey, I want to do it.Plus, it's just a simple thing.I want you to know that no matter what position I'm in, you will always be the apple of my eye.My queen, I'm more than willing to serve you," Anthony said with a doting smile.

He bowed to me ever so slightly.Unable to refuse him anymore, I simply nodded.His tenderness touched me.

"Alright, honey.I'll wait for you here."

Shooting me a wink, Anthony jogged off to a nearby waiter to get a goblet filled with juice.

While waiting for him, I found a chair and sat down, looking around idly.

Suddenly, I felt that as though someone was staring at me intently.I looked up, only to see that it was Carl whose eyes were fixed on me.

When we locked eyes, he gave me a charming smile.I smiled back subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Anthony just so happened to come back, apple juice in tow.

He suddenly stepped in front of me, blocking my view completely.

"Your apple juice, honey," he said stiffly.

I gratefully accepted it, but I could tell that Anthony was jealous again.

"Don't be like this, honey," I said helplessly.

"He just smiled at me.As the queen of the kingdom, I can't give him a cold shoulder, can I?"

"You can just ignore him," Anthony said huffily.

"What's so good about him anyway? Don't look at him. Keep your eyes on me."

Amused by his words, I almost choked on the apple juice I was drinking.I quickly put the glass down and tried to appease my husband.

"Anthony, you're the only man I see.Plus, you're so much more handsome than him."

After saying that, I chuckled.

Anthony was cute when he was being childish.

Finally, Anthony broke into a smile.

In a low voice, he said, "Babe, if you weren't pregnant, I would fuck you so hard that you wouldn't be able to get out of bed."
