Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

Chapter 28

Arnold lay in bed, staring at the empty space beside him, feeling a deep discomfort.

Once upon a time, he had deliberately avoided Sarah, coming home late and waiting for her to fall asleep before he rested.

But he had never realized that her presence in the house had always given him an inexplicable sense of reassurance.

Now that she was gone, the home felt empty and lifeless.

Even the lingering scent of her–bellflower and freesia–had completely faded from the sheets. He couldn’t help but wonder: how long had it been since she was last here?

Hasn’t she finished her tantrum yet?

Even her kid didn’t seem to matter to her anymore.

Sarah had been cold with him before, but no matter what, she had always cared about Alex.

Arnold thought coldly, *Perhaps life as Luna has been too easy for her. Maybe she needs a reminder of what she’s missing.*

The next morning, at breakfast, Arnold told Alex, “I’ve added a few extra classes for you. Someone will take you there after

you’ve eaten.”

Alex wrinkled his nose in protest. “But then I won’t have time to play with Auntie Linda…”

Before Arnold could respond, his phone rang.

It was a call from the old house.

When he answered, his grandmother’s voice came through. “When are you coming tonight?”

Arnold glanced at his schedule. “I’ll be late,” he said. “Sarah and the kids will get there first.”
