Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 46: The Real Culprit

 Anthony's POV: For some reason, Austin asked me and Jennifer to stay for dinner.

It was unusual because, ever since our father passed away, I had never sat with him at the same table.

He was acting suspiciously.

I finally realized his intention when he started chatting with Jennifer on and off throughout the evening.

He was testing my relationship with Jennifer.

What was he trying to do? Did he want to use Jennifer to control me? He had no shame.

Fortunately, Jennifer cooperated with me by giving no hints that we were in a relationship.

I merely winked at her, and she realized that we were in a precarious situation.

So we both acted as if we were not interested in each other.

What I was not sure of was whether or not Austin bought our act.

I thought that our visit to the royal palace would end with dinner.

I had not expected Austin to ask us to stay the night.

I turned down his offer, using tomorrow's training as an excuse.

On the way back, Jennifer and I deliberately kept some distance between us.

When the car finally left the palace premises, I reached out for her hand, intending to twine her fingers with mine.

Unexpectedly, Jennifer brushed off my hand.

She crossed her arms over her chest and leisurely leaned back against her seat.

"You are not interested in me, right? So why are you trying to hold my hand?"

Jennifer asked teasingly.

I smiled, pulled her into a hug and sincerely apologized, "I didn't mean it, honey.I lied to Austin for a reason."

Pressing her cheek against my chest, Jennifer asked, "Do you have a bad relationship with him?"

"We have the same father but different mothers,"

I explained, hoping that Jennifer would stay away from Austin from now on.
