Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

These days, I had been paying close attention to Skylar.

I felt that she had become very withdrawn.

In the past, she used to tell me everything, but now, it seemed that she was keeping a lot of things to herself.

I had no idea what was going on in her mind.

In the middle of the dinner party, I saw my brother coaxing Andy.

People were gathered around the little boy, except for Skylar.

After a while, I noticed Linda come out of the restroom.

Not long after, Skylar also came back from the same direction, with a dull and upset expression on her face.

I immediately knew that Linda must have said something to Skylar.

Otherwise, my best friend wouldn't look so downcast like this.

"Skylar, what's wrong? You don't look well. What happened?"

I whispered, taking a seat next to Skylar.

"Nothing.I wasn't feeling well, but I'm much better now."

Skylar shrugged and forced a smile at me.

I could see that she was trying her best to hide her emotions.

Of course, as her best friend, I knew that she was lying.

"Come on Skylar, tell me the truth.Did Linda corner you in the restroom just now? What did she say to you?"

Skylar turned away, avoiding my gaze.She seemed to be fighting an internal struggle.

"Skylar, you can't bear everything by yourself.You still have us.We will always be with you.Tell me, did Linda talk to you alone in the restroom? What did she say?" I pressed, unwilling to give up.

Skylar sighed, finally realizing that she couldn't hide anything from me.

"You're right.Linda did come to the restroom to talk to me, but she didn't say anything unexpected.She just asked me to give up on Jerome so that the three of them can be a family.She's not asking for anything unreasonable, right? She's just doing it for the sake of her child.As a mother, she lives a hard life.It's only right for me to give up on Jerome.After all, she came into his life first."

Hearing these words, I felt sorry for my naive friend.

How could she sympathize with her rival in love? Was she too kind, or was she just too stupid? 

"Skylar, don't trust anyone blindly, especially Linda.You should take a step back and look at the situation logically.I don't think that she's as simple as she seems," I advised her.

"I will.Thank you for your concern." Skylar smiled gently.

"Jennifer, you are so nice to me."

"That's what I should do.Look, they'll open the dance floor later.I'll take Andy away so that you'll have Jerome to yourself.You two should dance together and improve your relationship."

"Jennifer, that's so considerate of you. But what about you and Mr.Jones?"

Skylar asked, biting her lower lip worriedly.

"You silly girl, it doesn't matter.I will have plenty of chances to dance with Anthony in the future.We're not in a hurry.Besides, I like playing with Andy."

I gave Skylar a reassuring nod.
