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

Chapter 80

Her heart ached at the sadness in his eyes, but she knew staying any longer would only complicate things.

She knelt in front of him, gently ruffling his hair. “I promise, we’ll spend time together soon, okay?”

Alex pouted but nodded reluctantly.

After Sarah left, Alex turned to Arnold with a small frown. “Dad, Mom left again.”

Arnold, who had been watching from the doorway, didn’t respond immediately.

His eyes remained fixed on the direction Sarah had walked away in, his thoughts unreadable.

Finally, after a long pause, he murmured, “I know.”

His voice was quiet, contemplative.

And he said nothing more.

For the next few days, Sarah threw herself into work.

Mornings blurred into afternoons, which faded into nights filled with meetings, reports, and endless paperwork.

Her schedule was packed, leaving little room for unnecessary thoughts.

The busy days were exhausting, but they were also comforting.

At least when she was working, she didn’t have time to dwell on things she shouldn’t be thinking about.

By the time Friday night arrived, she was finally beginning to relax–until her phone rang.

It was Alex.

“Mom!” His voice was bright and excited. “Dad’s going away for the weekend. Can you take me out to play?”

Sarah hesitated for only a second before replying, “Of course.”

She knew that ever since she had moved out, Arnold had been the one taking care of Alex most of the time.But she was still Alex’s mother. When Arnold wasn’t around, she should be the one looking after him. It was her responsibility.

A thought crossed her mind. “It’s been a while since we went running in the meadow. Do you want to go

there?”

Alex gasped. “Yes! Yes! I love the meadow!”

His excitement brought a smile to her lips.

“Alright,” she said. “We’ll go this weekend.”

The next morning, Sarah and Alex arrived at the meadow.
