Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 325

Jennifer's POV: 

Elizabeth led me to the baby room to see Alice.

There, we found baby Alice lying in her cot.

When she saw me and Elizabeth approach, her round, pink face broke into a smile and she reached out her little hands towards us.

Oh, my God! She was so cute! My heart melted and I couldn't help but coo.

"Alice, Grandma is here.And Aunt Jennifer is also here to see you!"

Elizabeth said softly, staring at the baby dotingly.

Then, she took a doll from the maid and held it in front of Alice.

"Are you a happy baby today? Have you eaten yet?"

Alice seemed to understand what Elizabeth was saying and giggled.Her cute reaction made both Elizabeth and me burst into laughter.

"Oh, Alice!"

"I hope my child is as cute as Alice!"

I sighed, looking at Alice with longing.I stroked her face gently with one hand while the other rested on my rounded belly.

"Oh, definitely, my dear!" Elizabeth grinned from ear to ear.

"Anthony was very cute when he was a child after all." I chuckled.

"Mom, do you want a grandson or a granddaughter?" Elizabeth shot me a reproachful look.

"I'll love whichever you give birth to!"

We continued to play with little Alice for a while.

Time slipped away before we knew it.When I came to my senses, it was already noon.

"Why don't you have lunch with me, Jennifer?' Elizabeth suggested.

"I can also ask Anthony join us." I nodded happily.

I thought it was a good idea.

However, Elizabeth's expression turned gloomy as she spoke to Anthony on the phone.

After she hung up, she turned to me and shook her head.

"Anthony has a really important meeting today.He said he'll have to take his lunch in the meeting room.I'm sorry, Jennifer."

I was a little disappointed, but soon I forced a smile.

"It's my fault.I can't share Anthony's burden."

Elizabeth looked at me disapprovingly, took my hand, and pulled me to sit down.

"Don't say that, Jennifer.You are his queen and he should take good care of you.Moreover, you're pregnant now, so you shouldn't have to worry about those things."

I knew Elizabeth was only saying this for my own good, but I was moved nonetheless.

Together, we shared a hearty lunch.

"By the way, we shouldn't stay on the island for too long," Elizabeth said in between mouthfuls.

"Although we can't interfere with government affairs, if Anthony starts to miss you, I fear he won't be in the mood to run the kingdom."

My cheeks burned bright red.

There were maids in the room who would've overheard what Elizabeth said.

"Stop making fun of me, Mom!" I said shyly.

Just then, I head footsteps behind me.

"I'm sorry I'm late, Mom."

Anthony strode in and greeted us.I was so surprised that I stood up.

"Honey, why are you here?"

"I hadn't seen you since I got out of bed this morning, so I started to miss you," Anthony replied charmingly as he pulled me into his arms for a warm hug.
