Arnold knelt to Alex's eye level, his expression calm best series.
Tirst, you owe the maids an apology. Throwing food and shouting art how we solve problema "But Alex's protest was cut short by Arnold's raised hand.
"No buts," Arnold said. "Apologize now." Reluctantly, Alex mumbled an apology to the maid, who gave him a small, forgiving smile.
Afterward, Arnold placed a hand on Alex's shoulder.
"I know you're upset, and I know you miss your mom. But throwing tantrum won't bring her back any faster? Alex's lip trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"She doesn't care aboutanymore, does she? Keither do you." Arnold sighed, pulling Alex into a hug "That's not true. Your mom loves you, and so do L. But sometimes, people need tfor themselves. She'll caround. You'll see," Alex sniffled, wiping his face with his sleeve. "Really?" "Really," Arnold said, ruffling Alex's hair.
"Now, how about this? This weekend, I'll take you to see Linda. We can spend the day together. How does that sound?" Alex's eyes lit up, his tears momentarily forgotten.

"But only if you promise to be a good boy from now on. That includes eating your dinner without any ." Alex hesitated but then nodded eagerly. "Okay, I promise!" The maid brought out a fresh plate of food, and this tAlex ate without complaint, his thoughts already wandering to the weekend outing.
Though he was still a little hurt, the idea of spending twith Linda was enough to lift his spirits.
At her workspace, Sarah leaned back in her chair, exhaling slowly.
The conversation with Leo had been productive, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.
She glanced at her phone, noticing the time.
07:59 Crippled Luna's Farewell Half A Life Without My A 36.9% Chapter 49 A flicker of guilt passed through her mind, but she quickly pushed it aside.
Alex would be fine. He had Arnold and the maids to take care of him.
For once, Sarah was putting herself and her work first.. a decision she didn't regret.
Megan sat in her office, tapping her pen against the polished surface of her desk as snippets of the earlier conversation replayed in her mind.
The revelation that Alpha had a child hit her like a bolt of lightning She couldn't believe she hadn't known. For someone who prided herself on being well informed, this was a glaring oversight.
"But how?" Megan whispered to herself, her brow furrowing There had been no whispers, no hints, no public acknowledgment of a Luna.
The silence around the matter only deepened her curiosity, and her fingers itched to dial Sarah's number.
After a brief pause to gather her thoughts, she picked up her phone and called.
The line clicked, and Sarah's calm voice cthrough. “Hello?" Megan's tone was sharp with urgency. "Sarah, I just overheard something..Alpha has a child?" There was a moment of silence on the other end before Sarah spoke, her words measured and cool. "Yes, it's true. Alpha admitted it publicly... However, he has never mentioned having a Luna." Megan leaned forward, gripping her phone tighter.
"That's so... peculiar. It doesn't make sense. Either he's shielding his Luna to keep her safe and out of the spotlight, or-" Megan hesitated, lowering her voice, “.. or he doesn't care about her at all. Maybe he's even ashamed of her." Sarah remained silent, letting Megan's words hang in the air.

"Or.... what if the woman who bore his child isn't his Luna at all? What if son she was just you know, someone he had a fleeting relationship with and now he is the illegitimate child?" The pause from Sarah stretched long enough for Megan to feel slightly uncomfortable.
Finally, Sarah spoke, her tone as composed as ever. " er. I have things to very do, Megan We'll have to talk another time." Before Megan could press further, the call ended.
That night, the large house was quieter than usual.
Alex sat curled on the plush couch in the living room, his small figure dwarfed by its size.
His eyelids drooped as sleep tugged at him, but his stubbornness kept him awake.
The clock ticked louder In the stillness, and the servants, hovering e nearby, exchanged worried glances.
