Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Jerome's POV:

I was finally able to get a good night's sleep after many days.

In the morning, I got out of bed quietly as I didn't want to disturb Skylar's sleep.

After all, she was pregnant and could use all the rest she could get.

As soon as I kissed Skylar on the forehead, my phone vibrated inside my pocket.

I took it out and found that Anthony had sent me a message.

"How is everything going between you and Skylar? Caroline and Austin are getting married.The

queen's coronation ceremony will be held in just a few days.Jennifer and I have just come back to the

kingdom.I'm sorry that we haven't been able to visit you and Skylar because there's a lot going on here

right now, but hopefully, we'll see you both soon."

After reading Anthony's message, I texted back.

"Mr.Jones, where are you?"

Shortly after the message was sent, Anthony sent me his location via text.

Judging by his words, I guessed that Anthony was in a tough situation.

After all, Austin wanted to kill him.

"What's wrong?" Skylar asked me as she woke up and sat up on the bed.

"I just got the news from Anthony that Caroline and Austin are going to get married.Jennifer and

Anthony have returned to the Osman Kingdom.They're going to have to deal with a lot on their own."

Skylar frowned.

"Jennifer and Anthony's situation will only get worse after Caroline and Austin get married.After all,

Anthony gathered Dana and others to confront Austin and overthrow him." I decided to tell Skylar

everything that was on my mind.

"Things are going to get ugly for Anthony and Jennifer.Skylar, I have to find a way to go back and help

them."

"You're right! I'm worried about Jennifer too.Please take me with you!" Skylar jumped out of bed and

started packing her clothes.

"All right, let's go together then.Besides, I can't leave you here all alone.But there's no need to rush.Let

me do the packing.You can freshen up and have breakfast."

I urged her to calm down, even though I found her sudden burst of enthusiasm amusing.

"Okay!" Skylar smiled at me, but suddenly, as if something occurred to her, she shook my hand.

"Jerome, I almost forgot to tell you that I still owe Robin some money.I have to pay him back before I

leave."

"No problem.We can return it to him together later on," I said with a gentle smile.

After breakfast, we packed up our stuff before Skylar and I went to visit Robin.

I didn't want Skylar to have too much contact with him, so as soon as Robin opened the door, I

explained why we were there and tried to give him a bank card.

At first, Robin refused, but after Skylar and I insisted, he finally accepted it.

Before we left, Robin said with a bitter smile, "Goodbye and I wish you two a happy life together."

"Thank you! We wish you a very happy life as well." I nodded politely and said goodbye to Robin.

Then, I took Skylar to the airport.

As soon as we arrived at the Osman Kingdom, we went straight to Anthony's private residence to look

for him.

Jennifer's POV:

I was busy reading something in the study when Anthony came in.

"Honey, what are you doing?" he asked, hugging me from behind as I held his arms and kissed him on

the cheek.

"Anthony, I'm trying to find a way to remove the Love Curse.I won't be able to rest easy unless the

curse is removed from you." I turned the pages.

"These books were given to me by the wizards.Maybe I can find some clues on dispelling the curse."

"That's very sweet of you, honey." Anthony grabbed my hands and pulled me up from the chair.

"But I want you to come with me.I have a surprise for you."

I looked at Anthony curiously as I followed him out of the study.

Anthony had a surprise for me? I kept trying to guess what it could be as I walked behind him.

A bouquet of roses? A gem? Anthony led me all the way to the hall.

"Jennifer!"

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice and before I could even realize what was going on, I found myself in

a warm embrace.

It was Skylar! So that was what Anthony was talking about! Indeed, this surprise was very precious to

me.

"Skylar! Is it really you? What are you doing here? Is everything all right? Where is my brother?"I

hugged Skylar tightly as I could hardly contain my excitement.Before Skylar could reply, I kissed her on

the cheek to express my joy.I was so excited that my tears fell down my cheeks without my knowledge.

"Jennifer, you have asked me so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?" Skylar

shook my hand and stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Why are you crying, silly? Isn't Jerome with you?"

I didn't realize that my brother was also there until Skylar pointed behind her back.

He winked at me and smiled, as if he was saying, "Long time no see."

I looked at Skylar and then at Jerome in shock.

My eyes wandered back and forth between them.

"So..." I enunciated the word on purpose.

"Yes, we are together again!"

Skylar hugged me and hide her face shyly as soon as she said that.

Jerome came over and held Skylar's hand affectionately.

"We haven't seen each other for such a long time, Jennifer.I'm happy to see that you are still as cute as

ever," he said with a smile.

I sprang and hugged him.I was overwhelmed with excitement to say anything.

Meanwhile, Anthony was standing behind me and smiling at us.

I felt such joy in that moment.It was indeed a big surprise.

"Thank you, Anthony," I wiped my tears and said with a smile.

In order to celebrate my reunion with Skylar and Jerome, Anthony asked the cook to prepare a hearty

lunch.

Elizabeth, Dana, Gary, and the wizards who were here to help Anthony were all there.

Anthony sat next to me and introduced them to each other.

He also told Skylar and Jerome about Austin and Larry's collusion, as well as the Love Curse.

However, his tone was calm when he spoke, like a mature and dignified king.

"We are lucky to have these wizards at our side.We can use all the help we can get,"

Anthony concluded, pointing at Roy and other wizards.

Both Skylar and Jerome looked serious as they listened attentively.

After the introduction, we started to discuss how to deal with Austin at the queen's coronation

ceremony.

"Why don't we disguise ourselves to attend the ceremony together? Perhaps, the wizards can hide

their scent and dress up as attendants?" I finally pitched my idea after several other suggestions were

rejected.

"That's a good idea!"

Anthony gave me an approving smile and turned to look at Elizabeth.

"Mom, you don't have to come with us.You should just stay back and get some rest."

"All right.Besides, I don't want to be a burden to you."

Elizabeth knew that Anthony wouldn't risk anything happening to her, so she gave them her blessing.

"I wish you all the best! You must take care of one another."

The whole plan was settled.

In the evening, as soon as I lay down on the bed, Anthony showed me his phone.

"Where are you? My dear brother, please don't forget to come to the queen's.coronation ceremony." It

was a message from Austin.

Austin's message gave me the chills and Anthony patted me on the back to comfort me.

"I told him that I will be attending the coronation ceremony.Don't worry, Jennifer.I'm here with you

always."

I nodded and then leaned my head against his chest.

"Anthony, we will succeed," I said firmly as if to give myself encouragement.

No matter what happened, we couldn't afford to lose this time.

I knew that I had to be strong for Anthony and everyone I cared for.

"Yes, we will succeed!"

Fortunately, Anthony's tone and confidence were very reassuring.
