Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 331

Amelia's POV: 

As Larry carefully placed the beautiful irises in my hair, a sweet, floral fragrance wafted to my nose.I couldn't help but feel touched by this small act of affection.

"I promised you that I'd cover our entire yard with irises, " Larry said, gazing at me lovingly.

"When we go back, I'll build us a big house and plant irises all around it."

The way he looked at me reminded me of the time we were young and in love.

Those memories were full of sweetness, but they were tainted the second he killed my child and imprisoned me for years.

How could I forget his horrific nature? He was the murderer of my child.I had gotten on my knees and begged him back then, but he just ignored me.

It didn't matter if he said he loved me now.

The things of the past could not be erased.

He killed my child.He didn't understand that what he took from me was not just a piece of flesh, but half of my life.

Larry could never understand this.His love was corrupt and selfish.I swallowed my hatred and somehow managed to force a smile.

"Thank you, Larry.That's so romantic of you."

But Larry must've seen past my expression.He suddenly grabbed my hand and asked, "Is something wrong, Amelia? You don't look so good."

I quickly lowered my head to hide my face from him.

"Oh, no.I'm fine."

"It's not fine, Amelia.Just tell me.What's wrong? Don't hide it from me!" Larry pressed me, sounding agitated.

Panicked, I scrambled to find an excuse.

"It's just...I keep remembering the time you locked me in that small, dark room.Larry, I'm scared.What if your kindness will vanish if I leave with you?"

Larry stopped in his tracks and threw his arms around me.

"It won't, honey! I promise it won't happen again!" I pretended to smile at him gently.

"Okay, I believe you.People change after all.I also can't help but remember how I loved you back then."

Larry's eyes lit up like fireworks.

"Are you serious? I knew it! I just knew it, Amelia.You still have room for me in your heart! Our past was wonderful and sweet, Amelia.Let's bring back the good old days."

Larry looked convinced.

‘We can't just bring back the past, Larry" I thought.

Out loud, I said, "I still need some time to forgive you and forget the unpleasant parts of our past."

I deliberately put on a long face, as though I regretted not going with him sooner.

Unpleasant? It was more than just unpleasantness.

It was the most painful period of my life that I never, ever wanted to experience again.

"Don't worry, Amelia," Larry said softly, seemingly touched by my words.

"I'll wait for you.No matter how long it'll take, I'll wait for you! As long as you keep me company to ease my loneliness, I'll be fine."

I nodded and continued to walk along the river bank with Larry.

"Larry, I hope you'll keep on being kind.Don't hurt Jennifer or her mate.And Morgan, too.They've all helped me, one way or another."

The gentle expression on Larry's face instantly vanished and was replaced with fierce loathing.

"They're not innocent, Amelia.They took you away from me! Besides, Anthony's father killed mine.Why should I let him go?"

My heart clammed up in my chest when I heard this.It turned out that he still didn't regret his actions.

Anthony and Jennifer were the ones who saved me from his prison.

But he claimed that, by saving me, they had taken me away from him.

Perhaps in his eyes, it was reasonable to keep me under lock and key.

I knew I couldn't reason with him, so I looked at him seriously and said, "If you do something bad again, I will be really disappointed in you, Larry."

"Okay, okay! I know I was wrong, Amelia!"

Larry immediately relented.

"As long as you go with me, I will do anything for you."

I highly doubted his words, but I still sighed and said, "I believe you.I'll try my best to overcome my PTSD so that we can be together, Larry."

Before I knew what was happening, Larry leaned in to kiss me.I instinctively wanted to resist, but I had no time to dodge his advance.

Unexpectedly, right before his lips touched mine, he suddenly withdrew and buried his face in his hands, groaning bitterly.I breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the magic drug made by Morgan was really effective.

Larry was really weak now.

Pretending to care about him, I asked with concern,"Larry, what's wrong? You don't look so good."
