After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 87

“I just wanted to confirm–did you approve the collaboration with Cole?” she asked. 

Alexander chuckled. “Yes, it’s legitimate. The company is making great progress.” 

Relieved, Nora thanked him and hung up. She immediately called Cole back “Alright, I’m free this weekend. Let’s set up a time.” 

“Abby and I decided on skiing. Is this Saturday okay?” Cole said. 

Nora grinned. “I do.” 

“Great. Do you need gear?” 

“I have my own.” 

“Perfect. See you Saturday.” 

Later that evening, Alex called, “Nora, I want to eat your cooking. Can I come over?” 

Nora thought for a moment that she was just about to go home to pick up her ski gear and agreed to Alex’s request. 

To her relief, Arnold wasn’t home for the day on business, so she stayed in her bedroom for the night. 

The following morning, before dropping Alex off at school, Nora stopped to pick up her ski gear for the weekend. As she lifted the equipment, Alex’s eyes widened. 

“You’re going skiing?” 

She nodded. “Yeah, this Saturday.” 

Alex immediately looked hopeful. “Can I come too?” 

Nora thought for a moment and asked, “When do you want to go?” 

Alex hesitated. He wanted to go out with Nora, but he preferred the day when neither Linda nor Arnold 

could take him out. 

He recalled his schedule in his head. After a moment, he realized he was already scheduled to go on a trip with Linda next week. 

His heart sank a little, but then an idea struck him. “What about this Saturday?” he asked, his voice tinged

with hope. 

Nora sighed lightly. “I can’t this Saturday, Alex. I already have plans.” 

“But next week I have a trip with Linda,” he muttered, frustration creeping into his voice. 

Nora was unmoved, “In that case, if you still want to go next week, talk to Mom again.” 

Alex pouted, gripping his phone tighter. He didn’t like this answer. Recently, he rarely had the chance to spend time with Nora, and now that he wanted to, she was saying no. 

“Can’t you change your plans?” He tried, his voice becoming stubborn. 

“You always have time for someone else! Why not me?” His voice trembled with frustration, and part of him felt like he was being pushed aside.

Nora’s patience was wearing thin. “Alex, I’ve already promised someone else. Let’s pick another day, okay?” 

That was the final straw for Alex. 

His chest tightened with disappointment, and his grip on the phone trembled. 

He didn’t want to hear any more excuses. 

With a huff, he pressed the red button and hung up, ending the call on his own terms. 

Nora blinked at the sudden silence. She sighed, setting her phone down. 

She knew Alex was upset, but she couldn’t always bend to his wishes. He had to learn that sometimes, things didn’t go exactly as he wanted. 

Not long after, her phone buzzed again. This time, it was Cole. 

“Hey,” he greeted smoothly. “Just confirming our plans for Saturday. Everything’s set.” 

“Got it,” Nora replied. “I’ll see you then.” 

The next day, she arrived at the ski resort, the crisp mountain air biting at her cheeks as she stepped out of the car. 

Snow stretched endlessly before her, shimmering under the winter sun. 

She spott 

She spotted Cole and Abby waiting near the entrance, bundled up in stylish yet warm winter gear. 

Abby’s face lit up the moment she saw Nora. “Nora!” she called out, running toward her. In her tiny

hands, she held a soft, fluffy Muppet doll. “Look!” she said excitedly, holding it up. “This is for you!” 

Nora took the doll, smiling warmly. “Thank you, Abby. It’s adorable.” 

Abby giggled and pulled out another doll from her coat. It was a baby doll, small and delicate. “This one is mine! They’re a pair.” 

Nora blinked in surprise, her fingers tightening slightly around the Muppet doll. 

She recognized it immediately. 

Alex had an identical baby doll in his room. That meant–he had given the other half of the pair to Linda..
