After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

hapter 6

In the divorce settlement, Nora had made her stance crystal clear… she was relinquishing custody of Alex.

But that didn’t mean he had stopped being her son.

This bond was not something that could be cut off so quickly, and maternal instincts still made Nora feel extremely responsible for him.

So, when Alex abruptly hung up on her, Nora’s heart sank. A prickle of unease crept up her spine, and without wasting a moment, she called back.

The phone rang and rang, but Alex didn’t answer.

Instead, he turned his little face away from the screen, his lips pressed into a pout as he stubbornly ignored the call.

As much as he missed his mother, he already kind of regretted making the call.

Nora’s worry deepened. She didn’t like this silence.. not one bit.

Acting quickly, she dialed the maid’s number.

The maid picked up almost immediately, her voice hurried but steady.

“Young Master should be fine, Luna. I’ll go check on him right away and call you

back.”

Hearing this, Nora exhaled, some of the tension easing from her shoulders.

“Thank you. Please let me know as soon as you can.

Upstairs, the maid knocked gently before stepping into Alex’s room.

“What happened, young master? Your mother was worried.”

Alex blinked innocently.

“Oh, that?” He forced a sheepish smile. “I must’ve pressed it by accident.”

The maid studied him for a moment but saw nothing unusual.

“All right,” she said before heading downstairs to report back.

Alex watched her leave, only allowing himself to relax once the door shut behind her.

That was close.

He couldn’t let Nora come back and ruin the travel plans he had been so excited about.
