Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 141: Revealing A Flaw

Jennifer's POV:

We hung out with Andy until the sun went down.

Although he had grown comfortable with me, I still couldn't glean any useful information from him.

I didn't expect a three-year-old child would be so careful with what he talked about.

Linda must've told him not to say anything.

Nevertheless, I still firmly believed she was hiding something.

But what could be so damning that she had to hide it from everyone? When we got back to the
Rainbow Pack, we took Andy to Linda's room.

"We're back, Linda! Andy's so cute.Anthony and I have both grown very fond of him.We had a great
time."

I smiled and ruffled Andy's hair.

"It must've been hard for you to raise Andy alone, Linda.By the way, which pack did you live in?"

"We went to the Red Sun Pack first, where we found a doctor who helped cure my disease.Then, I took
Andy to the Rainbow Pack and we've been wandering around here ever since."

Linda's tone was calm and her face betrayed nothing.

If Andy hadn't mentioned the Lavender Pack today, I would have believed what she said.

She was a good actress.

I needed to be wary of any tricks she might play.



Out loud, I said with a smile, "You're a good mother and you've raised Andy well.You're strong-willed,
too.It's no wonder my brother fell for you in the past."

"Thank you, Jennifer.I'm sure I'm nowhere near as strong as you, though,"

Linda said, feigning modesty.

We chatted for a little while longer before bidding each other goodnight.

Anthony and I headed back to our room.

The second we closed the door behind us, I began to talk about Linda with Anthony.

"Anthony, Linda's lying.Andy mentioned that they used to live in the Lavender Pack, but Linda didn't
mention it and said they had been staying in the Rainbow Pack for a while now."

I frowned and scratched my chin.

"Plus, I can tell that he's keeping a secret for Linda.No matter how I asked, Andy wouldn't mention
anything about their past.I think Linda's hiding something."

"I agree.There is something fishy about Linda.Don't worry.I'll try to help.I'll send my attendants over to
the Lavender Pack to investigate a she-wolf named Linda.And if Linda did live there, I'll have them find
out everything they can about her stay there.But the Lavender Pack is far.The investigation may take
some time."

Anthony gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.

Whenever I faced difficulties, he would stand by my side without hesitation.

I could always count on him to support me.



"Thank you, Anthony.If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known what to do.I just want my brother and
Skylar to be happy.If Linda didn't show up out of nowhere, they would've gotten married by now." I
sighed.

"No need to thank me.We are one.Your business is mine.You don't have to think too much about it.I'm
here for you."

Anthony wrapped his arms around me and started stroking my hair gently.

"A couple in love are bound to get married.Jerome and Skylar love each other, and so do we."

"Anthony, I'm so lucky to have you."

Moved by his words, I hugged him back tightly.

His familiar scent was inexplicably comforting, which made me sigh in relief.

All my worries seemed to melt away with him by my side.

He was the brightest light in my life.

Jerome's POV:

Skylar was in a depressed state lately.

She worried me.

So I rushed to her room, only to find that she still locked herself inside.

Worse still, I had to find out through a maid that she hadn't eaten a thing all day.

Was she planning to torture herself? I would rather she beat me up than hurt herself.



I couldn't bear the thought of her going hungry, so I headed to the kitchen to whip her up something to
eat—her favorite, a mango cake.

A little while later, I pulled the cake out of the oven, applied the buttercream, then meticulously added
mango on top.

I took the plate of cake up to her room and knocked.

"Skylar, open the door.I brought you some mango cake.I made it myself.Even if you're not hungry,
please eat—for my sake.I know you're in a bad mood, but the cake will make you feel better."

Soon, Skylar opened the door, looking disheveled.

When her eyes landed on the plate of cake in my hand, they welled up with tears.

"You are the future Alpha.Why would you go through the trouble of making a cake for me? Jerome, you
are too good to me."

She gratefully took the plate and pulled me into the room.

"The truth is, I'm not angry at you.I locked myself in because I needed to calm down.Linda and Andy's
sudden appearance just shocked me too much."sudden appearance just shocked me too much."

"I understand,"

I said, reaching out to stroke her hair.

"But no matter what, you have to eat.When you go hungry, I'm the first one who feels sorry for you,
okay? Promise me that you will take good care of yourself from now on.How can I rest easy when you
act like this?"

"Got it."



Skylar gnawed her lower lip bashfully.

"I'll listen to you from now on."

"Good girl."

I leaned over and pecked her on the forehead.

"Isn't mango cake your favorite? Let me feed you."

I cut small piece and fed it to her.

Skylar seemed shocked that I would offer to feed her, but she obediently opened her mouth and ate the
cake.

As she chewed, her tears started streaming down her cheeks, landing on the plate.

"What's wrong, Skylar? Don't cry."

I put down the fork and hugged her tightly.

"Did I do something wrong? Honey, I hope you can give me a chance.I really don't want to lose you."

"Jerome, you didn't do anything wrong,"

Skylar said in between sobs, throwing herself into my arms.

"I don't want to lose you either.I don't want to leave you.But what about Linda?"

"Baby, do you trust me? I promise you that I will solve that issue soon.In fact, I'll talk to her later."

Seeing her like this broke my heart.



I wiped her tears and sighed heavily.

"I've been making you cry a lot lately.I'm a bad mate.I don't like seeing you cry."

"You must think I'm a crybaby."

Skylar stopped crying and stuck out her tongue at me.

"I'm not that narrow-minded.I'm fine with Andy—he's yours, after all.I don't want to make trouble for
you.However, no matter how open-minded I am, I can't share your love with Linda.You're supposed to
be mine and mine alone!"

"Skylar, you are getting more and more sensible.I need to make things up to you and set things right."

Hearing what she said, I felt sorry for her.

After everything we had been through together, I could see that she had matured a lot.

"How are you going to make it up to me?"

Skylar whined, acting like a spoiled child.

"Through a kiss, of course."

When I saw her face blush, my heart rate quickened.

I leaned over and kissed her on the lips, licking the cream at the corner of her mouth gently.

"Hmm...Jerome, you're naughty."

Skylar shyly slapped me on the arm and grumbled.

"Who said you could kiss me? You're so annoying!"



"Annoying? Why do I feel that you like my kiss very much?"

I picked up a piece of mango with my lips, pinched her chin and put it in her mouth.

"Baby, your body tells me that you like it very much."

I had never thought that I, who had always been indifferent towards she-wolves, would flirt like this.

Skylar was the one who changed me.

I slipped my arm around her slender waste and kissed her passionately.

The taste of mango lingered in my mouth.

When we pulled away from each other, I finally saw a smile on her face.
