Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 1084

Loving DAD 1084

Chapter 1084

Carter understood Sharon well enough. He could tell she had no romantic feelings for Thomas–at least, not for

now.

Still, Thomas’s sharp tongue and blunt words left Julliard looking slightly uncomfortable.

Sensing the tension, Sharon quickly stepped in to ease the moment.

“I’ll let Thomas do a quick sweep,” she said. “If everything’s fine, he can wait for me downstairs.”

“I’ll come along,” Carter said. 1

Work kept him busy most days; he rarely had time to stay by Sharon’s side. He also wanted to see for himself- how exactly did Thomas “protect” her? Was it genuine concern, or just an excuse to get close to her?

One person or two–it made little difference. Sharon didn’t object.

The waitress, however, looked bewildered. Three men accompanying a woman to change clothes? That couldn’t be right.

Thomas caught her hesitation and prompted coolly, “Weren’t you going to lead us to the dressing room? Why aren’t you moving?”

Startled, the waitress forced a nervous smile. “O–of course, this way please.”

The four of them walked together until they reached the fitting room door.

Thomas turned to the waitress. “You can go now.”

She didn’t argue–just nodded and hurried off.

Sharon knocked lightly, making sure the room was empty before pushing the door open.

They stepped inside. Thomas began a thorough inspection, scanning every corner–the wardrobe, under the bed, behind the curtains.

Only after he was certain did he turn back to Sharon with a brief nod.

“It’s clear.”

Julliard gave a soft laugh, casual and edged with mockery.

“Thomas, aren’t you overreacting a little? Jumping at shadows, seeing threats everywhere? Sharon is the Kalen family’s heiress now. Who would dare harm her?”

Thomas cast him a cold, sidelong glance.

“When Sharon was kidnapped, Jamie didn’t hesitate to lay hands on her despite knowing exactly who she was. Call me paranoid if you like, but I’d rather be paranoid than the kind of man who claims to protect her, only to stand by and watch while she’s taken.” 1

His words hit home. Julliard’s fists tightened instinctively.

Sharon broke the silence before the air grew heavier.

“I’m going to change. You can all wait downstairs.”

Thomas’s reply was immediate. “No need. I’ll wait right outside.”

With that, he turned and walked out first.

Carter lingered a moment, his gaze deep on her face, before following.
