Chapter 34 

Cody rubbed his temples, muttering under his breath. “What is going on here? She’s not even 

n pretending to care anymore.” 

But Nora paid no attention to Cody’s disbelief. 

Once Megan understood the process. Nora excused herself, leaving the office without so much as a backward glance. 

At home. Nora immersed herself in her work, sketching designs at her drafting table. 

The lines of her pencil flowed across the paper, creating intricate patterns and shapes. 

Her mind was focused and clear, a rare and precious state she cherished. 

Then her phone buzzed, pulling her attention away. 

She picked it up and saw Alex’s name flashing on the screen. 

With a sigh, she answered. 

Helor 

“Mom” Alex said, his tone direct, “can you come home and cook dinner for me?” 

Nora’s pencil paused mid stroke. “Alex,” she said carefully, Tm in the middle of something important. I can’t drop everything and come over right now. Maybe another time.” 

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, followed by Alex’s indignant reply. 

“What? You’re too busy to cook for me? Mom, come on. I’m hungry, and I want your coolding.” 

Nora exhaled slowly, pinching the bridge of her nose. 

Alex, I’m on a tight deadline. I’ve been working nonstop. It’s not that I don’t want to cook for you, but I can’t make the trip today. You can tell the Nanny to prepare something for you, just this once.” 

In the past, Nora would have dropped everything to fulfill Alex’s request. 

Whether it was making his favorite meal or helping him with something trivial, she had always put him and Arnold at the center of her priorities. 

But those days, too, were behind her. 

Alex, however, was unaccustomed to this version of his mother. “I don’t care if you’re busy,” he said stubbornly. “You’re my mom, and you’re supposed to take care of me. If you don’t cook, I won’t eat anything tonight!” 

As Alex slammed his phone onto the t

“Why is Mommy doing this?” he muttered to himself. He expected Nora to call back, apologize, and rush home to 

That was how it always went. 

But this time, the silence stretched, and no familiar ringtone interrupted his sulking. 

Meanwhile, back at her workspace, Nora felt a dull ache forming at her temples. 

She rubbed her forehead, trying to soothe the growing headache, but the sharp ding of a notification 

on her Laptop stole her attention. 

It was a message from Lea.

She quickly typed back 

***I should have everything ready in the next few days. Let me confirm the timeline for you.” 

The response was Instant.

**Leo ***Thanks, Nora. We’re counting on you. Things are chantic here, and your designs are crucial.* 

The two launched into a discussion about the company’s development plans, diving deep into design specifics and upcoming projects. 

Nora’s mind became engrossed in the conversation, and the tension of deadlines overshadowed Alex’s earlier tantrum. 

Back at home, Alex paced the living room, his stomach growling. 

“She’ll come,” he muttered, half to himself and half to the empty room. “She has to come. She always does.” 

But minutes turned into hours, and the sun began to dip below the horizon.
