Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 300: The Candlelit Dinner 

Amelia's POV: 

After the meeting, Morgan and I headed back to our room.Thinking about everything that had happened since last night, my heart felt heavy.Larry, that bastard! Why couldn't he just let me go? 

"What's wrong, honey? You don't look so happy.Is it because you need to get close to Larry to drug him? If you don't want to do it, I'll tell Mr.Jones right now."

Morgan wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.

"There must be another way.I don't want you to force yourself."

But I shook my head and sighed heavily.

"It's not that, honey.I know you feel sorry for me, but I have to go through with this.It's the only way."

I turned around to look into his eyes sadly.

"It's just, I was thinking that if I were to get close to him, I'd need to convince him that we broke up..."

My voice trailed off.It would hurt Morgan too much.

Sure enough, tears welled up in his eyes but he stayed strong for me.

"It's no big deal.If it means saving you, I'm willing to pretend we broke up!"

"But, honey, it's not fair to you!"

I hugged him tightly, wishing all our troubles were behind us.

"It's all my fault!"

Thinking of the nude photos, I felt more and more ashamed.

"It's all my fault," I repeated sadly.

"If it weren't for me, we wouldn't be in this situation."

"Don't say that! Honey, it's not your fault!"

Morgan lowered his head and kissed me, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"It's all my fault! If I had been able to protect you well, nothing would have happened."

Morgan was always so nice to me.He was so considerate and thoughtful.

"We both didn't do anything wrong, honey.This is all Larry's fault.I'm just grateful we got to meet again.Without you, I wouldn't have had the will to live on!" I murmured tearfully.

"Honey, if we want to convince Larry that we broke up, we need to sleep in different bedrooms.But don't worry.Once we catch Larry, we can finally be together in peace."

Morgan stroked my hair to comfort me.

I nodded.
