NovelFinishChapter 32 All eyes turned toward Ales when he spoke The old lady suddenly paused and glanced at Sarah's wrist. "Sarah, where's your bracelet?" At her words, everyone, including Arnold, looked at Sarah's hand.
When she married Arnold, they hadn't exchanged wedding rings. The only symbol of their bond was a wolf tooth bracelet.
According to tradition, after wolves courted under the full moon and solidified their relationship, the husband would give his wife a wolf tooth as a token.
Sarah had cherished the bracelet deeply, treating it as a part of herself and never wanting to take it off-even though Arnold never wore anything symbolizing their relationship.
But now, the bracelet was missing from her wrist.
Everyone found it strange; they were used to seeing it on Sarah no matter the occasion.
Sarah instinctively touched her wrist and replied casually, "I took it off in the shower and forgot to put it back on." The truth, however, was different. She had removed the bracelet while preparing the divorce papers and placed it inside the envelope with the documents.
For now, she and Arnold hadn't officially parted ways.

The old lady smiled, seemingly reassured. "Oh, I see." At this point, Alex repeated his request, this twith impatience. "Mom, peel the shrimp for me! I want to eat it!" Sarah raised her hand-not to peel the shrimp herself, but to call a waiter. She asked them to teach Alex how to peel shrimp on his own.
Alex stared at her in disbelief. "Mom, what are you doing? You always peel them for me!" "It's tyou learned to do it yourself," Sarah replied calmly. "Especially in front of so many elders." "Then I'm not eating!" Alex pushed his plate away in frustration.
Afterwards, he quietly glanced at Sarah, hoping she'd apologize and peel the shrimp for him after all.
But Sarah didn't react. She continued eating silently, unfazed.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room to enjoy fruit and desserts while chatting.
The old lady, still determined to bring Arnold and Sarah closer, insisted that the two sit together.
Arnold, as usual, didn't react much. He didn't even glance at Sarah.
Cripplad Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha Del 23.8% Chapter 32 Although Sarah didn't want to sit near him, she couldn't keep defying the old lady's wishes, so she complied. She took the seat next to Arnold, making sure to leave a polite distance between them, avoiding any physical contact.
Even so, it was the closest they'd sat in months.
Sarah could clearly catch the scent of Arnold-a blend of cigars and pine. The unique aroma, a hallmark of him as her mate, acted as a subtle and invisible bond, drawing the two closer despite themselves.
No matter how much Arnold wanted to ignore it, the mate bond carried a magnetic pull for both of them.
The tension he had been holding onto for days seemed to ease slightly with Sarah's proximity.
Yet, Arnold remained stiff and unnatural.
What was she planning to do next? In the past, Sarah would have gone out of her way to strike up conversation, offering desserts or fruits to Arnold as an excuse to engage him.
But this time, Sarah stayed silent. She showed no intention of making an effort to connect with him.
She quietly ate her dessert, completely uninterested in breaking the silence or teasing Arnold into a conversation.
Strangely, this left Arnold feeling unsettled.

"Mom." Alex looked up at her tentatively. "I'm sleepy. Can you taketo my room to rest?" By the tdinner ended, it was already late, and the old lady had asked everyone to stay overnight at Lancelot Manor.
Sarah nodded and led Alex upstairs to his room.
As they walked, Alex hesitated before asking, "Mom, are you... busy tomorrow morning?"
He had considered letting his mom take him to school if she insisted. But deep down, he still preferred Aunt Linda to accompany him. It would be easier if Sarah had other plans. Sarah shook her head. “No, I'm not busy. Why do you ask?" Hearing her reply, Alex lowered his head, disappointment evident in his posture. "Nothing."
He had been hoping for something...
anything..that would give him an excuse to spend more twith Aunt Linda tomorrow. But now, that hope was gone. Sarah noticed his unusual behavior but didn't press him further. Since Alex didn't explain, she decided to let it go.
