After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 127

Alex clung to Nora, his small arms wrapped tightly around her neck, inhaling the familiar scent that reminded him of warmth and security. He had missed this–being held by her, feeling her gentle touch, and knowing she was right there, just like before. The thought of letting go made his chest tighten, so he held on a little longer.

He looked to Arnold, who was standing by, and asked, “Daddy, I want to eat here with Mommy, can we pack up and come back here to eat?”

Arnold, watching the scene unfold, didn’t interfere. He observed how naturally Alex sought comfort in Nora, and with a calm nod, he made the arrangements.
