Jennifer’s POV:
“It looks like the party is over.Honey, let’s go back to our room,”
Anthony said as he stretched his hand out to show me the time on his watch.
I nodded and followed Anthony out of the lounge soon after.
As soon as we stepped out of the lounge, we saw Elizabeth.
“Oh, I see that you’re already leaving.I was just coming over to tell you that the celebration party was over.You should go and get some rest.Anthony, you must take good care
of Jennifer.”
Then, she turned to me.
“Jennifer, please be mindful of your health.If you feel even the slightest bit of discomfort, do not hesitate to call me.I know some of the best doctors in the city.”
“I will.Thank you for your kindness, Mrs.Jones.” I smiled at Elizabeth, holding Anthony’s hand.
“Please take care of yourself as well.Try to get some rest as soon as you can.We will see you tomorrow.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnthony and I stood waiting as Elizabeth left with the aid of a maid.
Soon, after saying goodbye to the other guests, we finally went back to our room.
I freshened up quickly before lying in the big bed with Anthony.
“Isn’t it astonishing how quickly time flies? I didn’t expect the coronation ceremony to come so soon.I’m nervous, Anthony.What if I am not fit to be a queen?”
The weight of the title filled me with dread.
In the past, I had spent a big part of my life living in fear of being hunted down by Arthur.
At that time, if someone told me that I was going to become a queen one day, I would call them crazy and laugh at their faces.
It was Anthony who changed my fate completely.
“Jennifer, all you need to do is take care of yourself and the baby.Leave everything else to me.I will always be there to support you.No one will ever disrespect you.”
Anthony leaned over and kissed me gently on the forehead.
“You’re right.I shouldn’t be overthinking.It’s not good for the baby.”
As I spoke, I got up from the bed to get a glass of water, but Anthony reached out to help me.
“Jennifer, lie down and tell me what you need.I’ll get it for you,”
Anthony said as he looked at me with concern.
“Anthony! Now, you’re the one who is overthinking! I just wanted to get a glass of water.” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Who is it?” I asked, and then looked at Anthony in confusion.
“Who could it be at this hour?”
Anthony didn’t say anything.He got out of bed with furrowed eyebrows and turned on the lights before he went to open the door.
For some reason, I thought of Larry and so I got up and went after Anthony.
Much to my surprise, as soon as Anthony opened the door, we saw Eric standing at the door.
He was one of the elders who supported Austin’s rule.
Anthony’s POV:
Eric was the last person I expected to see when I opened the door.I thought it was my mother who might have come to tell me something she had forgotten earlier on.
An impatient frown appeared on my face.
This wasn’t the appropriate hour to show up unannounced at someone’s door, even if he was an elder.
He should have respected our privacy, especially since Jennifer was pregnant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen I took a closer look at him, I noticed that his face was unusually red and he reeked of alcohol.
He must have had a lot of drink at the banquet.
“What’s the matter, Elder Eric?” I asked patiently.
“Mr.Jones, I’m sorry to bother you and Miss Smith at this late hour,”
Eric apologized, but there was no trace of guilt in his tone.
“I wanted to ask you if you are really sure that the Love Curse has been lifted.As an elder, I have to think about the safety of everyone.You need to prove to me that you are
absolutely healthy before I give you my vote to take over the throne.”
“Elder Eric, you’re being inexcusably rude!”
Jennifer said aggressively from behind me.
“Are trying to imply that Anthony and I lied to everyone? We just got back from the snow mountain and we haven’t even been able to rest and recover yet.You should know
better than to disturb us at this hour.”
