Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 291: A Surprise

Jennifer's POV:

Thankfully, the banquet went on smoothly.

Guests kept coming to propose a toast to me, but Anthony stopped them.

"I'm sorry.My queen is pregnant now, so she can't drink."

As Anthony spoke, he would raise his glass.

"I'll drink in place of her."

True to his word, Anthony then downed the wine in his glass, which made the guests around us
applaud.

Seeing how Anthony spared no effort to protect me, I felt warm in my heart.

'My child has a good father" I thought contentedly.

Before the banquet, I had fretted that Larry would try to stir up trouble.

But so far, Larry hadn't showed up, which made me feel relieved.

Anthony was thorough and had strengthened our security tonight.

If Larry dared to show up, he would only be caught.

"Honey, since you can't drink, let me bring you a glass of apple juice,"

Anthony whispered to me.



"Anthony, you are already the king of the Osman Kingdom.You don't have to do such a menial task.Just
ask a maid to do it."

Despite saying this, I was moved.

He always cared about me, especially in times like this.

"Honey, I want to do it.Plus, it's just a simple thing.I want you to know that no matter what position I'm
in, you will always be the apple of my eye.My queen, I'm more than willing to serve you," Anthony said
with a doting smile.

He bowed to me ever so slightly.Unable to refuse him anymore, I simply nodded.His tenderness
touched me.

"Alright, honey.I'll wait for you here."

Shooting me a wink, Anthony jogged off to a nearby waiter to get a goblet filled with juice.

While waiting for him, I found a chair and sat down, looking around idly.

Suddenly, I felt that as though someone was staring at me intently.I looked up, only to see that it was
Carl whose eyes were fixed on me.

When we locked eyes, he gave me a charming smile.I smiled back subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Anthony just so happened to come back, apple juice in tow.

He suddenly stepped in front of me, blocking my view completely.

"Your apple juice, honey," he said stiffly.

I gratefully accepted it, but I could tell that Anthony was jealous again.



"Don't be like this, honey," I said helplessly.

"He just smiled at me.As the queen of the kingdom, I can't give him a cold shoulder, can I?"

"You can just ignore him," Anthony said huffily.

"What's so good about him anyway? Don't look at him. Keep your eyes on me."

Amused by his words, I almost choked on the apple juice I was drinking.I quickly put the glass down
and tried to appease my husband.

"Anthony, you're the only man I see.Plus, you're so much more handsome than him."

After saying that, I chuckled.

Anthony was cute when he was being childish.

Finally, Anthony broke into a smile.

In a low voice, he said, "Babe, if you weren't pregnant, I would fuck you so hard that you wouldn't be
able to get out of bed."

I immediately snapped my legs together and could feel my cheeks burning.

Anthony was so annoying.He always managed to say something that would make me feel flustered.

"Shame on you!"

Glaring at him, I pinched his arm lightly.Then, I picked up my glass to drink some juice to calm myself
down.

"Babe, you're so cute when you're shy."



Anthony's smile widened.

"Jennifer, it's almost time for the ball.Let's go change our clothes, okay?"

Anthony took my hand to help me up from my seat.

I nodded and followed him to the dressing room of the royal dance hall.

While we were busy changing, the guests finished their meals.

Then, everyone headed to the dance hall.

After changing into our dance attire, Anthony and I graced the royal dance hall.

Already, there were colorful lights illuminating the hall, and everyone was waiting for the royal couple to
appear.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting!" Anthony said loudly as he led me to the dance floor.

"Music!"

The band outside the dancing floor immediately began to play melodious music.

I lifted my skirt slightly and began to dance with Anthony in the center of the hall.

As Anthony and I swayed and spun about, the crowd burst into cheers and applause.

"Long live King Anthony!"

"Long live Queen Jennifer!"

When the song was over, there was even more thunderous applause.



Anthony just smiled at the people.

"Now, please enjoy the dance floor as much as you can!"

And with that, the guests streamed onto the dance floor eagerly and began to sway to the music.

The flying skirts of the girls were like bright flowers, blooming all over the hall.

Anthony and I continued to dance as well.

We danced in a romantic waltz.

The music was melodious and the movements were intimate, which made me feel inexplicably happy.

"Oh, my God, Anthony, I'm so happy."

I voiced my thoughts as I danced.

Anthony looked at me dotingly.

"Jennifer, I promise to make you happier with every day that passes!"

Being in Anthony's arms, I was so delighted that I didn't know what to say—I could only dance.

Anthony seemed to understand.He held my hand and continued to dance, and I danced under his lead.

"Jennifer!"

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice call out my name.

I turned towards the sound, confused, because I thought that I had misheard.



The voice sounded just like Skylar! There was no way she was in the royal palace...right? To my
surprise, when I turned around, I found a masked man and woman dancing towards Anthony and me.

I recognized the mysterious figures in a second-it was Skylar and Jerome! Although they were wearing
masks, I knew them so well that I knew it was them.Oh, my God! What were they doing here?
