Anthony's POV:
When I saw the disappointment on Jennifer's face, my heart softened.
"Honey, don't let it bother you," I said in a soft tone and held Jennifer in my arms.
"Life is full of ups and downs.Don't worry about it too much.We can make up for it in the future."
Jennifer rested her chin on my shoulder and said in a low voice, "But I can't help but feel regretful,
Anthony.Why should we have to part? Why does a kind girl like Skylar have to suffer like this? She was
supposed to attend our wedding together with Jerome.I used to think that we would both show up at
each other's wedding and bless each other in person."
I cupped her face, peered into her eyes, and said, "Jennifer, think about it.When you look up at the
starry sky, Jerome and Skylar will look at the same sky.We have many means of staying connected
with our loved ones and our hearts will always be close to each other.Some bonds cannot be broken by
time or distance.As long as we think of each other, the distance becomes nothing because our souls
are together."
Jennifer looked at me with sparkling eyes.
"You are right, Anthony.Now that you've put it that way, I don't feel so bad anymore.I'm sure that even if
they can't be there at our wedding, they will give us their blessings from Rube Island."
I patted Jennifer's head and said, "That's right.Now just relax, for both you and our child."
"All right.I want our child to grow up healthily."
Jennifer touched her belly and smiled at me.
There were smiling faces everywhere in the banquet hall.
Jennifer and I were happy to be surrounded by such enthusiastic guests.
She took me to greet everyone in the hall.
I could tell that she had thought everything through to the smallest detail.
Suddenly, someone shouted behind us, "Alpha Jennifer! We turned around and found that it was Tony.
"Hello, Elder Tony.How may I help you?" Jennifer asked curiously.
"Elder Simon is back," Tony said with a smile.
"Really? That's great! Anthony, let's go and greet him."
Jennifer was so happy that she held my hand and walked towards the entrance of the hall.
Unexpectedly, Simon saw us at the entrance and greeted us first.
"Miss Smith, Mr.Jones! It's good to see you both again!" Jennifer and I walked over to shake hands
with him.
"Congratulations on becoming the new Alpha, Miss Smith.Oh, no, it's time to call you Alpha Jennifer."
Simon smiled.
"I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend your coronation ceremony."
Jennifer shook her head with a smile.
"Elder Simon, I'm just happy that you're here.By the way, how's the preparation for Daniel's coronation
ceremony going?"
"We just had a funeral for the late Alpha Marlon.It may be a few days before the coronation ceremony,
but it shouldn't be too long.After all, the Black Stone Pack now needs an Alpha to govern the pack,"
Simon replied.
"When Daniel takes over the position of Alpha, Anthony and I will surely attend his coronation
ceremony.I believe that with Daniel's support, he will definitely become an excellent Alpha.Simon, you
will have an excellent son-in-law," Jennifer praised.
Simon nodded with a smile, looking very happy.
We exchanged a few more words and drank a few glasses of wine with him.
After the party came to an end, Jennifer and I said goodbye to the elders, and then left to see Jerome
and Skylar.
After all, we had to see them off.
Skylar's POV:
As soon as I finished packing up, there was a knock on the door again.I pushed the door open and saw
Jennifer and Anthony.
"Jennifer, I knew you would come," I said happily, but tears welled up in my eyes.
"We are going to be separated again.I don't want to leave you, Jennifer."
"Don't cry! Distance only makes the heart grow fonder! " Jennifer held my hand and wiped my tears.
"You always cry like this.What if your baby also cries like you?"
"I won't cry then." I tried my best to hold back my tears, but it didn't work.
"Jerome, I have packed a bag for you.There is some money, daily necessities, and some desserts
made by Jennifer's maid for the journey.After all, pregnant women are always prone to hunger."
Anthony walked in and handed a suitcase to Jerome.
"Thank you.You two have been very generous to us."
Jerome took over the suitcase and thanked Anthony sincerely.
I was also moved.I didn't expect Jennifer and Anthony to be so thoughtful.
Although Jerome and I were not short of money, their kindness was greatly appreciated.
"I also have a gift for you, Skylar."
As Jennifer spoke, she suddenly took out a diamond bracelet from her pocket.
"I hope you like it.I bought it when I was picking out the dress.I think it would suit you very well.Tears
welled up in my eyes again.I couldn't help but put my arms around Jennifer and pull her into an
embrace.I reached out my hand and smiled while crying.”
"Jennifer, can you help me put on the bracelet?"
Jennifer nodded with a smile and put the bracelet on my wrist.
I looked at the bracelet with a grateful smile and said, "I'll take good care of it, Jennifer."
My words came through muffled sobs as I couldn't stop crying.
"Please, stop crying," Jennifer said, sniffling to catch a breath.
I smiled at her teasingly and said, "Hey, I can you crying as well!"
We just hugged each other and laughed for a while without saying anything to each other.
Jerome and Anthony stood quietly aside and didn't disturb us.
Just as we had stopped crying and composed ourselves again, there was an unexpected knock on the
door again.
I Jerome walked to the door as he said, "Let me open the door."
As soon as the door was pushed open, my eyes widened in surprise because I saw Helen and Daniel
standing outside.
Simon and Tony were also there.
"Oh my God!"
Jennifer shouted excitedly.
"Everyone, come in!"
"What's going on?"
I looked at Helen and Daniel blankly and then turned around to look at Jennifer.
"Did you ask them to come here?"
"No, I had no idea either," Jennifer replied with confusion in her eyes.
"We wanted to surprise you." Helen smiled.
"Yes.When Daniel and Helen found out that you and Jerome were leaving and that Jennifer was going
to take over the position of Alpha, they decided to come and see you.However, the tickets for the flight I
took were sold out, so they had to take a later flight.They only arrived just now,"
Simon explained.
"It's a pity that they didn't make it to the party."
Daniel let go of Helen's hand, gently pushed her forward and said, "Helen, go ahead and talk to
Skylar."
With that, Daniel, Tony and Simon stepped aside and made way for me and Helen.
Helen rushed to me, sobbing.
"Skylar, why didn't you tell us that you were leaving? The thought of us not seeing each other for so
long makes me sad!"
"Helen, I'm so sorry.I just didn't want to make the separation too painful.Besides, I figured that you and
Daniel would be very busy, so I decided not to bother you." I hugged Helen and cried.
"Thank God you're here! "Well, stop crying then!"
Jennifer held our hands.
"Hey, at least, we will have a lot to catch up on when we see each other again, right?"
Jennifer was right.
I should have been thankful.
At least, I was able to see my friends before leaving.I no longer had any regrets.
However, it was hard not to feel bad as we were leaving the Rainbow Pack.
I would always remember my time and the friends.
