After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 

The airport, the people around them, the waiting client–all of it faded for a moment. 

Arnold was watching her the way he always did, with an intensity that was impossible to ignore. He didn’t blink, didn’t waver. Then, with that deep, steady voice of his, he spoke. 

“When are you free these days?” 

“Whenever I’m not free,” she answered evenly. 

The client, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow, surprised by her distant tone toward the Alpha. 

Arnold, however, didn’t react. Instead, a small, knowing smile played at the corners of his lips. He tilted his head slightly, studying her. “Alex misses you.” 

Nora stilled. 

Alex.

A flicker of something softened in her eyes, but it was gone in an instant. She forced herself to remain 

detached. 

“I already spent time with him this month,” she said coolly. “I don’t have time for more.” 

Arnold raised an eyebrow at that, his expression unreadable. But he didn’t press further. He only gave her a long look, then stepped back. 

They parted without another word. 

As soon as he was gone, the client turned to her with barely concealed curiosity. “Are you and Arnold a couple?” 

Nora’s reaction was instant. “No.”

The client chuckled awkwardly. “You look good together.”

The employee beside Flora spoke up, eager to make introductions. “Mr. Cole, this is Flora, our company’s design director” 

Cole gave a brief nod. “I know” 

Flora’s smile brightened. “Would you like to sit and chat for a while?” 

But Cole’s attention had already shifted. 

Past her, across the room, he spotted Nora. She was working, her expression focused, her presence effortlessly commanding 

Something in his chest tightened slightly. 

Without hesitation, he responded, “Not today. I don’t have time. I am going over there and talk about 

things“.. 

Then, without another glance at Flora, he walked away toward Nora. 

Flora barely concealed her frustration as Cole walked away without another word. 

Her hands clenched into tight fists, nails digging into her palms until it stung. 

She forced herself to take a deep breath, but resentment simmered beneath her calm exterior. 

Why was Cole always indifferent to her? No matter how much she tried to gain his attention, his gaze never lingered. And yet, with Nora…

She glanced toward the window and saw Cole approaching Nora, his posture relaxed, his expression unreadable. Flora bit the inside of her cheek. Even if she didn’t want to admit it, there was something different in the way he interacted with Nora.
