Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Linda's POV: 

I woke up early the next morning, while Jerome was still asleep.

Looking at his sleeping face brought me a sense of joy that I hadn't felt in a long time.

Nothing had happened between us last night.

Despite how hard I had tried to seduce him, Jerome didn't want to have sex with me at all.

In the end, I had no choice but to take off his clothes and lie next to him naked.

Lying next to each other naked was enough.

With that, I'd be able to convince Jerome that we had sex last night.

I decided to deal a heavy blow to Skylar.

So I sneaked into the bathroom and called Andy.

"Andy, my dear son.Go find Skylar right now and ask her to take you to find your dad, okay?"

"Mom, where are you?" Andy asked.

"Andy, don't worry about that.Ask Skylar to take you to see your dad first, okay?"

"Okay, Mom,"

Andy agreed on the other end of the line.I knew my son well.

No matter how confused he was, he would listen to me and do as I said.

After hanging up the phone, I tiptoed back to bed, tightly clung onto Jerome's naked body, and pretended to be fast asleep.

A while later, I felt movement next to me.

It seemed that Jerome was stirring from his sleep.

"Linda? Why are you here?"

Jerome asked in panic and pushed me away without hesitation.

Did he loathe me this much? His first reaction after waking up in the same bed as me was to push me away.

I suppressed my frustration and blinked sleepily, as if I had just woken up.

Then, I crawled into his arms with an aggrieved look.

"Jerome, we had sex last night.You know what? It's been a long time since I felt this happy."

"Linda, what are you talking about?" Jerome's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What on earth happened? I was drinking with Skylar last night.Why are you in my bed?"

"Jerome, you don't remember? You got so drunk last night.I was worried about you, so I came to see if you were okay.But you held onto me and didn't let me go.You kept talking about our past together, Jerome.You said you couldn't forget me, and that you looked for me for a long time."

I tried my best to tell him a believable lie.

"That's impossible.Why would I say something like that to you? I love Skylar.I wouldn't want to sleep with anyone else, no matter how drunk I was,"

Jerome said firmly.
