After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 89

hapter 89 

Nora’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.” 

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

But today, she didn’t even hesitate before responding. “I have something to do tonight. Maybe next time.” 

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

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

A moment later, the door to the restroom swung open, and Alex emerged. He looked up at his father and noticed that he was staring in the direction Nora had gone. 

“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.” 

At the mention of Nora, Alex’s small face scrunched up in displeasure. He crossed his arms over his chest. “Hmph. She still hasn’t taken me skiing like she promised.” 

Arnold’s brows furrowed slightly as he observed his son’s reaction. 

He thought about Nora’s cold attitude just moments ago and couldn’t help but wonder if something had shifted between them. 

Still, he placed a hand on Alex’s shoulder and said gently, “You should try to be more understanding. Your mom has a busy schedule.” 

Alex, however, was still upset. He huffed and asked indignantly, “Did she come here to apologize to me?” 

Arnold stared at his son, his lips parting slightly before he let out a quiet sigh. “No, Alex,” he said after a pause. “She didn’t.”

After I left, Alpha father and co —- 

Chapter 89 

Alex’s expression darkened further, and he let out a small, dissatisfied noise before looking away, his little fists clenching at his sides. 

Arnold studied his son’s reaction carefully, his mind drifting back to his encounter with Nora. 

Something felt different this time–her coldness wasn’t just polite detachment; it was a quiet but firm 

rejection. 

A feeling of unease settled in his chest, but he kept it to himself. 

“Come on,” he said finally, placing a hand on Alex’s back and gently steering him forward. “Let’s head. back.” 

As they left the store, Alex remained silent, but his expression was one of unresolved frustration. 

And as for Arnold, his thoughts were clouded with something he couldn’t quite put into words. 

Arnold shook his head, unwilling to explain his brief encounter with Nora. 

Instead, he simply told Alex, “I’ll be heading to your grandmother’s for dinner tonight.” 

Alex, who was still brooding over his mother’s supposed neglect, tilted his head in question. “What about 

Mom?” 

Arnold hesitated for a fraction of a second before answering, “Your mom isn’t coming. It’ll be just the two. of us tonight.” 

Alex’s lips pursed in discontent. 

“Mom is really getting too busy,” he muttered, his small hands clenching at his sides. It didn’t sit well with him. He didn’t like the idea of his mother pushing him aside. 

Arnold studied his son’s reaction, but he chose not to comment. There were things about Nora that even he didn’t quite understand anymore. 

Early the next morning, Nora was finishing her coffee when her phone vibrated on the table. 

Seeing Cole’s name on the screen, she picked up. 

“Nora,” Cole’s smooth voice came through, tinged with warmth. “Abby wants to go camping. I thought you might want to join us.” 

“Camping?” she repeated, slightly caught off guard. “You’re sure she can handle the cold?”

Cole chuckled. “She’s been talking about it non–stop. I’ll have everything ready for you–the tent, sleeping bag, even a portable heater. You just need to show up. 

Nora smiled faintly. “Then I guess I’m coming.” 

She ended the call, a light feeling settling in her chest. 

On Saturday, after making sure that Alexander’s new project was progressing smoothly, Nora set out for the campground. 

The drive up the mountains was breathtaking, the recent snowfall blanketing the landscape in an endless sea of white. 

The air was crisp and fresh, filling her lungs with a sharp, invigorating chill. 

When she arrived at the campsite, she spotted Cole and Abby immediately. 

A few of Cole’s men were already setting up tents and preparing the barbecue grills. 

Abby, bundled up in a puffy coat, bright mittens, and a fuzzy hat, beamed at her. “Auntie! You’re here!”
