After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret

Chapter 146

Chapter 146

Nora knew Alex too well to be sensitive to the hint of hesitation and reluctance in his words.

Hearing the noisy voice on the other end of his phone, Nora asked, “Baby, where are you now?”

There was a slight pause on the other end.

Alex finally answered, “I’m at the airport, Dad asked me to ask if you wanted to come.”

He couldn’t hide some disappointment in his tone, he had booked a flight out with Aunt Linda, but Aunt Linda had some important work at the moment, so he had to let the maid take him out.

Dad had told him to ask mom if she wanted to come along, but…….

Alex couldn’t help but think, what if Auntie Linda came back from her busy day, how embarrassing it

would be to bump into mom.

Nora was silent for a moment and replied, “Mom has to stay at her grandmother’s and can’t be with you,

next time we have a chance, you enjoy your vacation.”

Alex sighed in relief, “In that case, I’ll leave you alone! Mom, I’ll be back with a present for you!”

Before Nora could say anything else, the phone was hung up impatiently.

Nora was used to Alex’s attitude and hung up the phone and went back to her breakfast.

After breakfast, she went out shopping with Alexander and his daughter, Elisa.
