After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 66

Her heart ached at the sadness in his eyes, but she knew staying any longer would only complicate things.

She knelt in front of him, gently ruffling his hair. “I promise, we’ll spend time together soon, okay?”

Alex pouted but nodded reluctantly.

After Nora left, Alex turned to Arnold with a small frown. “Dad, Mom left again.”

Arnold, who had been watching from the doorway, didn’t respond immediately.

His eyes remained fixed on the direction Nora had walked away in, his thoughts unreadable.

Finally, after a long pause, he murmured, “I know.”

His voice was quiet, contemplative.

And he said nothing more.

For the next few days, Nora threw herself into work.

Mornings blurred into afternoons, which faded into nights filled with meetings, reports, and endless paperwork.

Her schedule was packed, leaving little room for unnecessary thoughts.

The busy days were exhausting, but they were also comforting.

At least when she was working, she didn’t have time to dwell on things she shouldn’t be thinking about.

By the time Friday night arrived, she was finally beginning to relax–until her phone rang.

It was Alex.

“Mom!” His voice was bright and excited. “Dad’s going away for the weekend. Can you take me out to play?”

Nora hesitated for only a second before replying, “Of course.”

She knew that ever since she had moved out, Arnold had been the one taking care of Alex most of the time.But she was still Alex’s mother. When Arnold wasn’t around, she should be the one looking after him. It was her responsibility.

Alex gasped. “Yes! Yes! I love the meadow!”

His excitement brought a smile to her lips.

“Alright,” she said. “We’ll go this weekend.”
