Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 346

Jennifer's POV: 

After I chatted with Caroline for a little while, she gradually calmed down.She held little Alice in her arms, smiling sweetly.Seeing this, I honestly felt relieved.

Thank God.I was really worried that Caroline would fall into a depression as soon as Austin left.

"Anyway, it's getting late.Why don't you two have dinner with me? I'll have someone call Anthony over as well," Elizabeth suggested after glancing at the time.

I nodded enthusiastically.I thought it was a good idea.If Caroline was surrounded with more people who loved her, she might feel happier.

"Okay, Mom!"

"Is there anything you want to eat? I can ask the cook to whip up just about anything," Elizabeth asked us excitedly.

Elizabeth's enthusiasm was infectious.

I smiled and said, "I'll eat anything.Anthony's been exhausted lately, so maybe we can have something healthy for dinner."

As I spoke, Caroline laid Alice gently into her crib.Then, she chirped shyly, "I'd like some salad."

Elizabeth nodded and asked the maid next to her to have those dishes readied.

Half an hour later, the maids filed into the dining room, each one carrying a delicious-looking dish.

When almost all the food was served, Anthony arrived.He smiled and greeted us warmly.

"Jennifer, sorry for keeping you waiting." I took Anthony's hand and we sat down together.

"No, you're just in time.Come, let's eat!"

After everyone was seated at the table, I thought about Caroline and Anthony and placed some good on their plates.

"Caroline, you just arrived from the island.You should eat more fiber, it'll be good for your stomach.How about you, Anthony? Would you like some beef?"

Anthony chuckled and answered, "I'll eat anything you serve me."

Anthony's answer made Caroline giggle.She hurried to cover her mouth.

I blushed shyly and muttered, "Then eat some more."

After piling Anthony's favorite food onto his plate, I served it in front of him and began to eat.

"Oh, by the way, Anthony, is there any news about the vampires?"

Anthony put down his knife and pursed his lips unhappily.

"The vampires heard that Austin is heading to the front line.But their commander-in-chief is very arrogant, claiming that even if I personally led the army there, it'd be useless."

I wrinkled my nose with disdain.

"Oh, my God! How Arrogant! I hope Austin kills them off.Then they'll know that we werewolves aren't to be trifled with."

"Wait, Anthony!"

Caroline's eyes darted around the room nervously.

"What if Austin loses?" Anthony shook his head.

"Caroline, it's true that the battlefield is unpredictable.We can't know for sure if Austin will win and return victorious.But I know that my brother's strong, and he's leading an elite troop.Even if they lose, Austin will definitely come home in one piece."

Hearing Anthony's words, Caroline heaved a sigh of relief.

She pressed her palm against her chest and said, "Thank God! Thanks, Anthony.I'm relieved to hear that.And thank you for helping Austin despite previous grudges!"

Anthony nodded gently.

"He's also fighting for our country.It's only right that I help him."

After dinner, we all said goodbye to Elizabeth.

Then, Anthony and I sent Caroline back to her room.

When we arrived at her door, Caroline suddenly turned around to look at me with gratitude.She took my hand and said softly, "Jennifer, thank you for everything!"

Before I could react, she threw her arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"You and Anthony have been so good to us.Jennifer, I did so many stupid things before and I feel terrible.I hope we can still be friends..."

After saying that, Caroline pulled away and averted her gaze nervously.I smiled warmly and took her hand.

"Caroline, of course.In fact, I already see you as part of my family!"
