After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 72

Nora kept her expression neutral as her gaze briefly passed over Arnold and Linda. She refused to let their presence affect her, nor did she want to give Linda the satisfaction of thinking she had the power to unsettle her. Without pausing, she looked away and continued forward, acting as if she hadn’t seen them

at all.

Linda, on the other hand, did not possess the same level of control.

Usually, Linda carried herself with an air of effortless confidence–prideful, dismissive, as if nothing in the world could shake her.

“Leo,” she said, her tone suddenly light, friendly. “I’ve been meaning to invite you to dinner for some time now, but my schedule has been packed. Let’s set a date soon.”

Nora raised an eyebrow at the blatant attempt to ignore her.
