Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

39 Jealousy

Selma Payne’s POV:

On the way back, I kept thinking about what my father had just told me. He told me that in the future, I would have to govern the country with the help of the various dukes. This would not be an easy task. However, I felt very excited I felt very excited when I thought about how Aldrich would only listen to my orders after I became the Queen.

As I said that, I saw him standing outside the corridor, leaning against the wall and looking around. When he saw me come out, an undetectable smile appeared on his face, but it was quickly covered up. Then, he walked over to me and gently held my wrist.

“I suddenly remembered that I still have some issues with training that I need to talk to you about.”

We walked to a place with no one around. I snickered at him. “Aren’t you afraid that people will find out about our relationship?”

“When my call was cruelly declined, everything else isn’t that important anymore,” he said to me pitifully.

I laughed so hard that I bent over. Who could bear to be angry with him? He was too likable.

“Your- Uhm, Miss Selma, you still have matters to deal with.” My mother’s servant came over to call me and almost exposed me.

I could only ask her to leave first and kiss the depressed Aldrich.

“Our private time is always disturbed by someone.”

“It’s fine. How about we go to the movies? Just the two of us.”

Seeing that my mother was walking over, I gestured to him with my phone, indicating that we could chat more on the phone later. Then, I hurriedly ran away.

We finally watched the movie together. This precious time alone was rare, but I didn’t know what the movie was about. So instead, my attention was completely on Aldrich next to me. His gray eyes were bright and shining under the faint light of the big screen, and his hand unconsciously held mine.

However, I tried my best to make it seem like an ordinary movie-watching instead of a clingy relationship between a couple. Even though my identity was still a secret at this moment, a secret that even my lover didn’t know.

However, one day, the whole country would know who I was. I couldn’t tarnish the Lycans’ reputation, and I didn’t want anyone to mock me after I become the Queen. Although the possibility was little, who could tell?

But no matter what, we had a wonderful night. We didn’t need to do much. As long as we were by each other’s side, it would be a wonderful day.

“Wanna go get something to eat?”

I nodded and was dragged to the restaurant we went to last time.

The environment inside was the same as always. Many people greeted Aldrich affectionately, and some smiled at me.

Our close relationship was no longer a secret in many people’s eyes. To them, our relationship might not be as simple as friends, but no one said it out loud.

The waitress who came up to take our order was still the same. She had shiny eyeshadow, her lips glistened, and her hair was beautifully done. She winked at us as usual. I felt very uncomfortable at that moment, but I knew well that I was not jealous.

“I’ll get two chicken sandwiches.”

“Okay, handsome, do you want anything else to drink?” Her gaze was fixed on Aldrich’s face. Although I must admit, he was indeed quite handsome, he was my boyfriend.

“Two glasses of orange juice.” Aldrich smiled at the waiter without noticing.

I had to admit that I was indeed a little jealous. Well, perhaps it was not just a little. This was not the fault of that poor waitress at all. It was my inner possessiveness. However, I was full of jealousy, and I urgently needed someone to vent that toward.

Aldrich finally noticed his girlfriend, who was about to drown in jealousy. “Wow, baby, what’s wrong with you?”

“Don’t worry about me. Weren’t you having a good time chatting with her?” I retorted.

He laughed out loud. “Baby, how many words did we exchange? Are you jealous?”

I snorted and stopped talking to him.

The waitress quickly brought our order. Her makeup today was perfect, and her hair was also adorable. I looked at the beautiful waitress and felt that this was indeed Aldrich’s fault. If he weren’t so charming, I wouldn’t constantly be worried.

However, this little episode didn’t affect my mood at all. We enjoyed a good meal. Aldrich sent me home, and we kissed deeply on the way. I somehow felt that one day I would melt into him. From his dejected expression, he also enjoyed our time together.

“Darling, do you wanna go for a date after training tomorrow? We can go out for a walk together.”

I smiled at him smugly. “I have something to do tomorrow, so I won’t be coming for training.”

Looking at his expression of surprise, the gloominess in my heart was swept away. He looked cute. I controlled my expression, not wanting to show too much gloating.

“Why?”

“Because tomorrow... Uhm... I’m going to see the King and Queen’s wolves. They promised me.”
