Chapter 29 Alex froze.
"So, Mom's going with us to Great-Grandmother's house?" "Hmm," Arnold replied.
At this, Alex instinctively frowned, but he didn't say anything right away.
Mom hadn't contacted him in over half a month, which was unusual.
He had been playing almost every day during her absence, enjoying the most carefree tof his life.
Arnold was busy with work and didn't have tto monitor him closely.
Sarah had a job too, but no matter how busy she was, she always made tto check on his studies and daily life.
Now that Sarah wasn't around, he realized he missed her a little-but just a little.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause when Mom cback from a business trip, Auntie Linda wouldn't be able to take him to school or play with him every day.
As a young wolf, his nature made him gravitate toward lively and fun caregivers like Auntie Linda. In contrast, his mother, Sarah, could be too serious and strict.
He enjoyed spending twith Linda more than with Sarah.
Aunt Linda gave him lots of candy, didn't force him to drink bitter soup, and never insisted he attend class. Instead, she accompanied him to run in the forest or chase hares in the grasslands.
And days like that always ended when Mom cback.
So Alex secretly hoped his mother would stay away just a little longer.
But he hadn't expected her to return so soon.
Now that Mom was back, she would probably pick him up at the training ground tomorrow, and Auntie Linda wouldn't be able to accompany him anymore.
But... tomorrow night was also the night of the Moonlit Speed Race! It was a major event in the wolf world, where competitors raced through challenging forest or mountain tracks. Thick woods, rushing rivers, and steep cliffs would test their speed and strength, and the winner would earn the title of "Silver Moon Gale" along with many prizes.
He knew Auntie Linda was one of the contestants and had even given him tickets to the event.
If his mother found out, she definitely wouldn't let him go to Linda's race.
The thought soured Alex's mood.

Arnold looked at him with a frown. “Don't make such rude noises during dinner. What's wrong with you, Alex?" Alex squirmed in his seat but didn't ask his father to convince his stubborn mother to let him go.
Perhaps out of jealousy or something. Mom seemed to dislike Aunt Linda, who was prettier and more capable than she was.
She might even get into a fight with Dad if he tried to convince her otherwise.
It was so annoying! Alex lost his appetite for breakfast.
He needed to think of a way to get Mom to agree to let him attend the race tomorrow and cheer for Aunt Linda.

The estate was vast and imposing, a world away from the hustle andm bustle of city life Yet it retained all the prominence and elegance of aristocracy.
The meticulously maintained tang gardens, the ancient and luxuridus buildings, and the busy servants-all spoke of the owner's noble status.
Sarah entered the manor and strolled into a quiet corner of the garden when she heard a familiar voice.
"Arnold, if it weren't for your help, our Snow Moon Pack might have m collapsed during this crisis. I thank you on behalf of all the wolves of Snow Moon." Sarah froze mid-step.
She glanced around and spotted the figure of her biological father, Clark Joseph, not far away.
At that moment, Arnold's voice replied, "Uncle, it was nothing-a small effort on my part." Sarah's hands slowly balled into fists.
She could hear it clearly-Arnold's tone was softer than usual.
