Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 339

Jennifer's POV: 

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would get to see Austin and Elizabeth reconcile.

After all, Austin had murdered the previous King—Elizabeth's mate—so naturally, she must've hated him to the core.

If she really forgave Austin, she must've gone through a lot of psychological turmoil to reach this point.

Nevertheless, this was a good outcome and I was sure that Anthony would be glad when he heard about it.

Seeing Elizabeth hugging Austin touched me to my core.

Even though Austin's expression was a bit awkward, he made no move to avoid Elizabeth's approach.I knew it would take time for him to adjust.I couldn't help but marvel at Elizabeth's strength.

Austin had killed her beloved husband, yet she still chose to forgive him for the sake of the overall situation.I couldn't even imagine how much courage that took.

If I were in her shoes, I doubt I'd be able to forgive him.

Then, to my surprise, Austin bowed before Elizabeth.

He used to be extremely conceited, self-centered, and even narcissistic.

Even though he had grown a bit kinder after his rule was overthrown, I had never expected that he would accept Elizabeth from the bottom of his heart.

But it seemed he finally did accept her.He even called her Mom.

How precious a moment it was! Anthony had once told me the story between his father and Austin.

Austin's mother was doted on by the previous king, but she died giving birth to Austin.

Before his father remarried Elizabeth, he had been depressed all day long and neglected Austin throughout his formative years.

Although Anthony didn't explicitly say so, I thought it was probably because of that that Austin and the previous king were always at odds with each other.

Although Austin used to be a hateful man, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

With all of this on my mind, I reached out and comforted the crying Elizabeth.

"Mom, this is a good thing.You've reconciled with Austin.Don't cry!"

"Silly girl, I'm just so happy."

Elizabeth smiled through the tears.

Austin reached for some tissue and awkwardly handed it to her.

"Mom, please watch your health and calm down,"

Austin stammered, averting his gaze.

"Thank you, my dear."

Elizabeth gazed at him affectionately and gratefully accepted the tissue to wipe away her tears.

Just then, an attendant suddenly ran in, waving a mobile phone in his hand.

"Mrs.Jones, King Anthony wants to speak with you!" I took the phone immediately.

"Hello, Anthony!"

"Babe, you scared me!" Anthony said breathlessly.

"The attendant told me that you and Mom encountered a storm when you were at sea.Are you really alright now? Babe, talk to me!"

"Anthony..." I felt a lump in my throat.

His deep concern for me was really touching.

"Anthony, I'm fine.Really.Listen to me.I'm fine." Anthony didn't calm down until I reassured him.

"Jennifer, please come back as soon as possible.I want to see you.I can't stand it anymore, especially after everything that has happened," Anthony said in a pleading tone.

"To be honest, I get this feeling that I'll lose you whenever you're not with me.I always feel uneasy when you're gone.Anyway, you've already seen Caroline and my brother.No need to prolong your visit.Come back already."

I had never heard Anthony speak in such a worried tone.

But before I could agree to him, Elizabeth suddenly asked, "Jennifer, what's Anthony saying?"

Covering the mouthpiece, I told her the truth.

"Mom, Anthony wants us to go back home right now.He's worried about us and can't rest easy until we return."
