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

Chapter 103

Sarah’s expression remained unreadable. “I didn’t see them,” she replied flatly.

Arnold’s gaze lingered on her face, and a knowing glint entered his eyes. “You saw them. You just ignored them,” he stated, his voice calm yet firm.

Silence stretched between them.

Finally, Arnold sighed and adjusted his watch. “Grandma Lancelot has invited us to dinner at the manor tonight,” he informed her. “She wants you to come.”

Sarah had always made an effort to attend Grandma Lancelot’s invitations in the past.

Arnold’s expression flickered with something–surprise, perhaps even a hint of disappointment–but he quickly masked it. “Sarah-”

She didn’t let him finish. With a polite yet distant smile, she stepped past him and walked away, leaving him standing there.

“Dad?” Alex tilted his head. “What are you looking at? Did you see someone you know?”

Arnold hesitated briefly before answering. “It was your mom.”
