SWNOVELS Chapter 292: Skylar Came
Skylar's POV:
Jerome had promised me that he would find a way for us to attend Jennifer's wedding, and he was a man of his word.Sure enough, the day before the wedding, Jerome took me to the Osman Kingdom. Because I had exposed my special power in the banquet hall of the royal palace before, I needed to conceal my identity.
We both disguised ourselves.
Thankfully, our disguises worked, and nobody recognized us.
We made it to the palace without a hitch.
However, when we made it to the palace gate, I grew nervous.How were we supposed to get in? We didn't have invitations, after all
To my surprise, Jerome produced a royal pass and showed it to the guards.
As soon as they saw the pass, they immediately let us in.
As we made our way to the hall, Jerome winked at me.
"Anthony gave this pass to me before he left, in case of a rainy day.”
No wonder Jerome was so sure that we could attend Jennifer's wedding
He had already come up with a plan! Thanks to the royal pass Anthony gave us, we could come and go to the palace freely.
But because we had no wedding invitation, we couldn't sit in the VIP seats.
That was fine with me.
I just wanted to see Jennifer get married with my own eyes.
Jerome and I found a quiet corner and sat down.
When Anthony slipped the ring onto Jennifer's finger, I was so happy for them that I burst into tears.
I knew very well how much Jennifer loved Anthony; it was just like how I loved Jerome.
Now that the two were married, they would never be apart.
It made me so happy to see my best friend marry the love of her life.
When the ceremony ended, I thought that Jerome and I would need to take our leave. Unexpectedly, as I stood up to go, Jerome shot me a mysterious smile and pulled out two outfits and two masks from his bag.
"Go and see Jennifer.Let her know that we are here.We'll surprise her!" Jerome explained.
I threw my arms around him and kissed him excitedly.
My mate was so thoughtful! Before the guests were led to the ballroom, we changed into the dance attire Jerome had brought for us.
The dress he had picked out for me was very loose, so it concealed my belly well.
We waited in the crowd, hand in hand, watching as Jennifer and Anthony led the first dance. When Anthony finally announced that the guests could join them on the dance floor, Jerome took my hand and led me to dance carefully.
We slowly made our way to Jennifer.
Up close, I could see how happy she looked, which in turn made me happy.
On the dance floor, everyone was focused on dancing, which finally gave us the chance to talk to Jennifer and Anthony.
When Jerome and I got close enough, I called out her name softly.
"Jennifer!"
Jennifer immediately whirled around in surprise.
It seemed she recognized me and Jerome at once, despite the masks
In a low voice, she exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, my God! What're you two doing here? I can't believe jig
We continued dancing so as to not arouse suspicion.
I answered softly, "This was all Jerome's idea.Thanks to the pass Mr.Jones gave us, we were able to enter the royal palace.We both felt that we couldn't miss your wedding for the world!"
I winked at Jennifer playfully.
"But it's too risky, my dear!"
Jennifer scolded us lightly as Anthony twirled her on the dance floor.
"Your special power..."
She lowered her voice to just above a whisper so that no one would overhear us.
Anthony also began to slow down his dance deliberately to give us a chance to talk with each other properly.
This moved me
He was so considerate.
I slowed down too, and Jerome followed suit.
"Don't worry, Jennifer.I'll control myself and won't cause you any trouble Besides, we're wearing masks.Other than you two, no one can recognize us."
"But you're pregnant! I'm sorry you had to travel thousands of miles for me!"
Jennifer looked moved.
"I might be pregnant, but I'm not weak! Besides, Jerome takes good care of me.The baby and me— we're fine!"
I retorted, sticking my tongue out at her playfully.
"Jennifer, aren't you glad that I could come?"
"Yes, of course I'm happy.Thank you so much for coming, Skylar!"
Jennifer smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.
"This is the best gift I have received today! Skylar, since you came all the way here to witness the happiest day of my life, I'll stop scolding you."
"You're my best friend.How could I not attend your wedding?"
I also laughed, but I didn't dare to draw attention to myself, so I continued dancing as though nothing had happened.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to make it.I felt sad for a long time..."
Jennifer's laughter was as clear as a silver bell.
"Skylar, you always managed to surprise me! Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"Jerome told me it would be a surprise.”
I pointed a finger at my dance partner, who looked back at us with a sheepish smile.
Jerome and Anthony exchanged meaningful glances and nodded
Jerome took my hand while Anthony took Jennifer's and they both led us to form a circle.
Jennifer and I looked at each other in surprise, and the smiles on our faces grew wider.
The melodious waltz ended with our laughter echoing across the hall.
At this moment, my heart was overflowing with happiness.
Jennifer and I both managed to find our destined mates and were finally married.
I firmly believed that Anthony would protect her well.Our happy days were just beginning.
