Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 336

Kelly’s smile stiffened for a second before she quickly recovered. Of course not. Theo’s always been an honest child,” she said softly, casting him a gentle glance. “Which is why, Sharon, I hope you can try to trust Theo a little more in the future TMr

She pivoted fast–barely a few sentences before her words subtly shifted the blame back onto Sharon,

Whatever mixed emotions Theo had felt about Kelly just a mouent ago vanished the instant her gentle voice wrapped around him. His wounded heart, battered by Sharon’s cold indifference, surdenly felt warm again. Eyes rimmed red, he threw himself into Kelly’s arms.

“Kelly… Matty bullied me,” he whimpered, his voice full of grievance.

Kelly stroked his hair softly, her voice tender, comforting. A child like him was something she could manipulate with ease.

Her gaze flicked back to Sharon. “Sharon, no matter what’s liappened between you and Carter, the fact remains–Theo is your son. That’s never going to change. I hope you’ll show him a little more care.”

With her presence solid beside him, Theo’s confidence soared. He lifted his chin. “Kelly… why are you here?”

Kelly smiled. “I heard from your dad that your kindergarten has another parent–child event coming up. A foreign language performance, right?”

Theo nodded, but his mood dipped again. “I asked Aunt Denise to help… but she said doesn’t know anything else.”

Theo spoke three languages: English, French, and Spanish. Of them, Spanish was his strongest after English.

Unfortunately, Aunt Denise didn’t speak Spanish. His father did–but as CEO of the Biggs Group, there was no way he’d show up to a kindergarten event. 1

Kelly’s smile deepened. “I’m pretty good at Spanish. If Sharon doesn’t accompany you, I can step in.”

Her mention of Sharon made Theo glance toward his mother, as if suddenly remembering her existence.

His mom hadn’t even finished high school. There was no way she could speak Spanish fluently.

“She doesn’t even know any foreign languages,” Theo said bluntly clinging to Kelly’s arm with a mixture of relief and admiration. “How could Mom ever go with me?”

His eyes lit up. “Kelly, you really speak Spanish?”

Kelly’s smile softened even further. “I speak five languages fluently. Spanish happens to be one of them.”

The word fluently carried a subtle weight. It suggested she might actually know even more, but these five were the ones she truly mastered.

“That’s amazing!” Theo’s face practically glowed. “I’m top of my class in languages. With Kelly helping me, we’ll definitely win first place again!”

Kelly opened her mouth to respond, but a childish voice suddenly chimed in–Matty’s, full of innocent confusion.

“Again? Theo, how many times exactly have you and Kelly won first place before?”
