After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 101

Nora gave a small, emotionless smile. “I wouldn’t have come if I wasn’t sure.”

Her tone was calm, almost indifferent. But Vincent knew better. He studied her face, searching for cracks in her composure.

The woman in front of him had always been strong–willed, full of warmth and patience, yet today, there was something cold in her demeanor. It wasn’t bitterness or anger–it was emptiness.

Then, as he flipped through the agreement again, his eyes narrowed at one particular section. “Custody of Alex,” he muttered. “You’re not contesting it?”

Leo, who had been standing by the window, his arms crossed, turned at those words.

He had been silent throughout the meeting, watching, observing. But now, he couldn’t hold back.

“Nora, you love Alex,” Leo said quietly, his deep voice tinged with disbelief. “You’re giving up custody without a fight?

Vincent expected some kind of reaction–a flash of pain, a moment of hesitation–but Nora simply nodded.

“Yes,” she answered softly. “I’m not fighting for him.”

Leo’s jaw tightened. He knew Nora better than most. She was a woman who valued relationships deeply, a woman who loved fiercely.

Alex had been the center of her world. For her to make such a decision, something drastic must have happened.

“What did he do?” Leo asked, his voice lower now, almost gentle.

Nora exhaled, but her expression remained unreadable. “Nothing that matters anymore.”

But it did matter. Leo knew it did. Whatever Alex had done–whether it was something like neglect, or outright rejection–it had been enough to break something inside her. Enough to make her walk away.
