Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 311

Skylar's POV: 

I lived a happy life on Rube Island, but I found myself missing Jennifer a lot of the time, so I often called her.

Just now, she seemed a little busy.

Not wanting to take up too much of her time, I said goodbye after a while.

After the phone call with Jennifer, I slipped my hand into Jerome's and leaned on his broad chest.

"Honey, Jennifer said they've been very busy recently and might not be able to visit us any time soon.But she's my best friend and I miss her."

Jerome put his forehead against mine and gently stroked my bulging belly in an effort to comfort me.

"Don't be sad, love.You know that Jennifer and Anthony will definitely come visit us as soon as they're free.Cheer up, okay?"

Even though I forced a smile at him, I still felt a bit depressed.

"Skylar, how about we go to the movies tomorrow?"

Noticing that I was still in low spirits, Jerome tried to cheer me up.

"Let's eat good food and go shopping after.You can buy whatever you want."

I perked up instantly.

"Okay!"

As long as Jerome was with me, I would be happy no matter what we did.

The next day, after lunch, Jerome and I headed out to the cinema to watch a movie.

Fortunately, the cinema wasn't that far from our new home.

Jerome and I walked hand in hand along the seaside, chatting casually.

When we reached the ticket window, he asked me, "Honey, which movie do you want to watch?"

I quickly scanned through the movies on the screen before pointing at one called Blue Sunrise.

"This one.How about you? Is it okay with you if we watch a romantic movie?"

"I'll watch whatever you want to watch, honey."

Jerome winked at me and gave my hand a light squeeze.

Then, he bought two tickets to Blue Sunrise.

We were lucky, because the earliest show was going to begin in five minutes.

After buying the tickets, we went straight to the movie hall and had our tickets checked.

As soon as Jerome and I sat down, the lights went out.

In the dark, I could feel Jerome's hand holding mine.

Suddenly, he turned to me and whispered with regret, "Are you thirsty, honey? I should have bought some drinks before we came in."

"I'm okay.Thank you.

We can buy some when we go out,"

I whispered back, feeling warm in my heart.

Jerome was such a thoughtful guy.

Soon, the movie began to play.

I focused on the love story that began to unfold on the screen.

The encounter between the hero and the heroine was so romantic that I couldn't help but smile.

When they began to kiss affectionately, I! suddenly heard Jerome's gentle voice.

"Skylar..."

I tore my gaze away from the screen and turned to see Jerome looking at me affectionately.

His handsome face made my heart skip a beat.

Without hesitation, I leaned towards him.

We were like two magnets that couldn't help but gravitate towards each other.

Before I knew it, we were hugging each other tightly and kissing passionately under the dim light of the projector.

On screen and off-screen, love was in the air.

When the movie was over, Jerome took me shopping.

I bought a lot of clothes and other necessities for the baby.

While we went from store to store, I talked with Jerome about the movie we had just watched.

The atmosphere was very harmonious, and my mood was much better than yesterday.

About half an hour later, I began to feel a little tired.

Noticing that I didn't look well, Jerome immediately asked, "What's the matter, honey?"

Seeing the worried look on his face, I replied with a smile, "Nothing.It's just a side effect of the pregnancy.I'm a little hungry and want to eat something."

"I'll buy you some food, honey.What do you want?"

Jerome asked with concern.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided I didn't want Jerome to go too far, so I settled for something quick.

"A burger will be enough to fill my stomach, I think."

"Okay, I'll buy one for you right now,"Jerome said promptly.

"Skylar, stay here.Don't leave this spot.I'll be right back."

I nodded and obediently waited for Jerome by the side of the street.

He ran off like a gust of wind.

Today was the weekend.

The street was bustling.

People came and went past me.

I stood in the crowd, waiting for Jerome to come back.

But minutes passed and there was no sign of him.

I glanced at my phone to check the time and found that it had been ten minutes.I was a little flustered.I couldn't help but walk in the direction he ran off to look for him.
