PATERNAL DISPUTATION
Noah descended the stairs, a radiant smile gracing his face, an unusual sight for Richmond, who suspected Noah's intent to bypass the council's summons and head straight to work. Did Richmond's affinity for the unknown extend to defying the council? Despite Richmond's disdain for his own existence, a commitment to ensuring Richmond's survival fueled his actions.
Amidst this internal struggle, Eleanora, laden with grocery bags, crossed paths with Noah as he descended.
"Looking good today, Alpha. To what do we owe this rare occasion?" Eleanora inquired, curiosity etched on her face.
"I'm heading to Richmond's office for a surprise visit," Noah replied, his words hinting at a motive not yet revealed.
