Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved, Chapter 331: Dealing With Larry

Amelia’s POV: 

As Larry carefully placed the beautiful irises in my hair, a sweet, floral fragrance wafted to my nose.I couldn’t help

but feel touched by this small act of affection.

“I promised you that I’d cover our entire yard with irises, ” Larry said, gazing at me lovingly.

“When we go back, I’ll build us a big house and plant irises all around it.”

The way he looked at me reminded me of the time we were young and in love.

Those memories were full of sweetness, but they were tainted the second he killed my child and imprisoned me for

years.

How could I forget his horrific nature? He was the murderer of my child.I had gotten on my knees and begged him

back then, but he just ignored me.

It didn’t matter if he said he loved me now.

The things of the past could not be erased.

He killed my child.He didn’t understand that what he took from me was not just a piece of flesh, but half of my life.

Larry could never understand this.His love was corrupt and selfish.I swallowed my hatred and somehow managed

to force a smile.

“Thank you, Larry.That’s so romantic of you.”

But Larry must’ve seen past my expression.He suddenly grabbed my hand and asked, “Is something wrong,

Amelia? You don’t look so good.”

I quickly lowered my head to hide my face from him.

“Oh, no.I’m fine.”

“It’s not fine, Amelia.Just tell me.What’s wrong? Don’t hide it from me!” Larry pressed me, sounding agitated.

Panicked, I scrambled to find an excuse.

“It’s just…I keep remembering the time you locked me in that small, dark room.Larry, I’m scared.What if your

kindness will vanish if I leave with you?”

Larry stopped in his tracks and threw his arms around me.

“It won’t, honey! I promise it won’t happen again!” I pretended to smile at him gently.

“Okay, I believe you.People change after all.I also can’t help but remember how I loved you back then.”

Larry’s eyes lit up like fireworks.

“Are you serious? I knew it! I just knew it, Amelia.You still have room for me in your heart! Our past was wonderful

and sweet, Amelia.Let’s bring back the good old days.”

Larry looked convinced.

‘We can’t just bring back the past, Larry” I thought.

Out loud, I said, “I still need some time to forgive you and forget the unpleasant parts of our past.”

I deliberately put on a long face, as though I regretted not going with him sooner.

Unpleasant? It was more than just unpleasantness.

It was the most painful period of my life that I never, ever wanted to experience again.

“Don’t worry, Amelia,” Larry said softly, seemingly touched by my words.

“I’ll wait for you.No matter how long it’ll take, I’ll wait for you! As long as you keep me company to ease my

loneliness, I’ll be fine.”

I nodded and continued to walk along the river bank with Larry.

“Larry, I hope you’ll keep on being kind.Don’t hurt Jennifer or her mate.And Morgan, too.They’ve all helped me, one

way or another.”

The gentle expression on Larry’s face instantly vanished and was replaced with fierce loathing.

“They’re not innocent, Amelia.They took you away from me! Besides, Anthony’s father killed mine.Why should I let

him go?”

My heart clammed up in my chest when I heard this.It turned out that he still didn’t regret his actions.

Anthony and Jennifer were the ones who saved me from his prison.

But he claimed that, by saving me, they had taken me away from him.

Perhaps in his eyes, it was reasonable to keep me under lock and key.

I knew I couldn’t reason with him, so I looked at him seriously and said, “If you do something bad again, I will be

really disappointed in you, Larry.”

“Okay, okay! I know I was wrong, Amelia!”

Larry immediately relented.

“As long as you go with me, I will do anything for you.”

I highly doubted his words, but I still sighed and said, “I believe you.I’ll try my best to overcome my PTSD so that we

can be together, Larry.”

Before I knew what was happening, Larry leaned in to kiss me.I instinctively wanted to resist, but I had no time to

dodge his advance.

Unexpectedly, right before his lips touched mine, he suddenly withdrew and buried his face in his hands, groaning

bitterly.I breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the magic drug made by Morgan was really effective.

Larry was really weak now.

Pretending to care about him, I asked with concern,”Larry, what’s wrong? You don’t look so good.”

“It’s nothing.I’m fine.I just feel a little dizzy.”

Larry waved his hand dismissively.

“Maybe it’s because I haven’t been getting enough rest recently.I always feel very tired, too tired to even use

magic.”

“Let’s go to the hospital.You might be sick.”

I was secretly delighted to hear this, but I continued playing the role of the concerned girlfriend.

“No, it’s okay.I know my own condition.”

Larry shook his head and refused, which was exactly what I wanted.

“Then you’d better go back and get some rest,” I suggested gently.

“We can see each other some another day.”

Truth be told, Larry did seem to be really tired.He didn’t even bother to protest.

“Okay, see you next time.Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.I grabbed Larry’s hand and said, “Let me send you

home.”

That way, maybe I could find out where Larry stayed.

But Larry shook his head firmly.

“No need.I can go back by myself.”

I felt disappointed, but I was also worried that Larry would see through me if I insisted, so I didn’t say anything

more.

Gritting my teeth in secret, I planted a kiss on his forehead.

“Be safe, honey.Goodbye.”

Under the attack of my sugar-coated bullet, Larry broke into a big, happy smile.

“Okay, Amelia.Goodbye.Take care of yourself.”

I was surprised he told me to take care when he was the one who felt sick.I felt sorry for him for a moment, but it

didn’t last very long.I left the park without looking back.

As soon as I got back to the royal palace, I called Morgan.My mind was racing.I need him to calm me down.

Morgan’s POV: 

I read Amelia’s note over and over again.

Suddenly, my phone started to ring.

Glancing on the caller ID, I saw that it was Amelia herself.I quickly answered the phone.

“Honey, I missed you so much!”

Amelia’s gentle voice came from the other end of the line, which made me smile from ear to ear.

“I miss you too, honey.So, so much.”

“I went to see Larry again today.He kept trying to convince me to leave with him as soon as possible.I tried to

refuse him, saying I wasn’t ready,” Ametia said.

“Anyway, he’s getting weaker and weaker.I think the magic drug is working!”

Knowing how cruel and heartless Larry was, I was so relieved to hear that our plan to take him down was in

motion.But I felt sorry for Amelia.I never wanted her to face Larry.

She was a kind soul, yet she was forced to resort to lying and deceit in order to drug Larry.She must’ve felt

uncomfortable.

D**n that Larry for making her do this! 

“That’s wonderful news, honey.Everything will be over soon!” I felt a lump in my throat and tried my best to hold

back my tears.

“We just need to wait a little longer.When Larry gets weaker, we’ll defeat him once and for all.Then, we can finally

be together.”

“I think Larry has dropped his guard around me, but it’s clear that he doesn’t trust me completely.I offered to send

him back, but he refused right away.He still doesn’t want me to know where he’s staying now.”

There was a trace of regret in Amelia’s voice.

“It doesn’t matter.We’ll deal with him one way or another,” I said firmly.

“I’m sorry you have to go through all of this, honey.”

“It’s going to be worth it, Morgan,”

Amelia comforted me gently.

Then, her voice grew sad.

“But I have to admit that, seeing Larry this often brings back the painful past.”

“Honey, just call me if it gets to be too much.Hold on for a little while longer.There’s a light at the end of this dark

tunnel.Amelia, I’m looking forward to our reunion.”

I tried to comfort her.

Amelia’s tone lightened up a bit.

“Okay.I’m so glad I have you, Morgan.Go to bed early, okay? I love you.”

Her simple words of affection moved me.I blew kisses into the receiver and whispered, “I love you too, Amelia.”

When we hung up the call, I picked up the note that Amelia wrote me and read it again and again.I just missed her

so much.

Spread the love
