Chapter 107

Nora hadn’t been answering his phone. She thought Alex would take the hint and call less often, but she underestimated his persistence.

He had called her two or three times throughout the week, just like he always did. She never picked up.

This time was no different.

The phone vibrated insistently in her hand. She glanced at the screen, her expression unreadable, before placing it back on the vanity. She finished applying her lipstick with steady hands, as if the call had never happened.

Meanwhile, Alex sat in his car, staring at his phone for a moment after the call went to voicemail. Again.

He let out a short sigh, then shook his head and tossed the phone onto the passenger seat. He wasn’t lost in frustration the way he used to be. He had already accepted that Nora wouldn’t answer. That didn’t mean he would stop trying.

He stepped out of the car and entered the mansion, where Arnold was adjusting his cufflinks in front of a

mirror.

“Going on a date with Aunt Linda?” Alex asked casually, leaning against the doorframe.

Arnold, dressed in a sharp, dark suit, didn’t even glance at him. “It’s work.”

Alex smirked. “Sure. But you guys better take me out tomorrow.”

Arnold finally turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow. He considered for a moment, then gave a small

nod. “Fine.”

That was good enough for Alex.
