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

Chapter 116

Arnold had just finished his morning workout, sweat still clinging to his skin as he wiped a towel over his face. He had barely taken a sip of water when he spotted his son entering with a scowl.

Arnold raised a brow. “What’s wrong?”

Alex hesitated for a split second before blurting out, “Mom’s ignoring my calls.”

Arnold stilled for a moment. Then, with practiced ease, he took another sip of water before responding.

“And?”

Alex’s frustration deepened. “She never does that. Not to me.”

Arnold met his gaze, his expression unreadable. “Maybe she’s just busy.”

Alex shook his head. “No. This is different. It’s like… she’s completely shutting me out.”

Arnold exhaled slowly. “We can figure it out baby.”

Alex sat on the couch, frowning at his phone. His fingers tapped against the glass screen impatiently as he

stared at the failed call notification. He had called his mother three times.

The first two rang endlessly, and the third one didn’t even go through.

“Maybe the power’s out,” he muttered to himself, though even he didn’t fully believe it. His mother never ignored his calls.

No matter how busy she was, she always picked up, even if it was just to tell him she’d call back later.

His frustration deepened, and he turned to his father again, who had just finished drinking his morning protein shake.

Arnold sat at the dining table, skimming through work documents with a calm and unreadable

expression.

“Dad, tell me please, I am saying this again” Alex called, his voice carrying an edge of complaint. “I’ve been calling Mom to tell her to come home and cook dinner, but she’s not answering. Now the call isn’t even going through.”

Arnold barely looked up. He took another sip of his shake before replying, “She probably turned off her phone.”
