Chapter 131

Sarah glanced at her watch before standing up. “Tm heading out first. You guys should eat.”

Her voice was light, but Alex sensed the distance in her tone. He hesitated, reluctant to let her go

He wasn’t sure why, but a subtle unease gnawed at him. Still, he knew better than to hold her back.

Sarah noticed his reluctance and gave him a gentle pat on the head, her fingers brushing through his hair in a fleeting moment of warmth. Then, without another word, she turned and walked away.

Arnold, who had been quietly watching, did not speak to stop her. He simply observed as her figure disappeared from sight, his expression unreadable.

When Arnold arrived at the restaurant, he was met with an unexpected mindlink from his grandmother. Her voice was sharp, cutting straight to the point.

“Arnold, did you create a studio and join forces with Linda and Clark for an investment?“*

Arnold exhaled slowly, his fingers tapping against the table. “Hmm.”
