Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348

The little girl’s name was Renee Wargrave. Everyone knew she liked to follow Matty around. She was like his tiny fangirl.

But for the past few days, even she hadn’t dared to stay near him.

Because…

“My dad told me not to talk to you,” she whispered. “He said… Theo’s dad put the word out. If anyone plays with you or talks to you, it means going against the Biggs family.”

She glanced around, making sure no one was listening, then leaned in a little closer. “I asked my mom about it. She said… it’s not really about you. It’s because… Theo’s mom upset his dad. His parents are divorced. And since you’re close to his mom… that’s why you’re getting dragged into this.”

The fights between Theo and Matty were practically kindergarten legend by now. Everyone knew. And plenty of parents knew about Sharon being Carter’s ex-wife.

Now that Carter had made his stance clear, no one dared defy him.

But then again, Xavier’s son wasn’t someone you wanted to mess with either.

Luckily, word spread from one of Carter’s closest friends that this grudge wasn’t really aimed at Matty himself. It was aimed at Carter’s ex-wife. As long as Matty kept his distance from her, everything would go back to normal.

This was Amstern City. No one here was crazy enough to cross Carter. Not with Nate and Julliard standing beside him-men who practically held up half the business world in the entire country.

When Carter spoke, people listened.

No one was willing to risk offending him over something so trivial.

The kids in this elite kindergarten all came from families with power and money.

Renee was a bright, pretty girl-lively, cheerful. From the first day Matty transferred here, she’d become his friend.

And Matty liked her too. Whenever he had snacks or new toys, he always shared them with her first.

Once, she’d told Matty that when they grew up, she wanted to be his first girlfriend. Matty had agreed.

Their bond had always been a little stronger than with other kids.

Which was exactly why she’d dared to take the risk to warn him now.

Everyone in the kindergarten knew about this-except maybe Theo, who was oblivious as always.

Renee bit her lip. “Matty… just stop talking to Sharon. If you stop, everyone will start playing with you again.”

But Matty’s eyes grew colder, little by little.

“No matter what,” he said, “I’ll never stop talking to Sharon.”

“Go,” he added. “I’ll pretend I never heard this. But if you say anything like this again… we’re not friends anymore.”

Renee froze.

Her eyes immediately welled up. “Matty… I’m only telling you this for your own good. Didn’t you see how everyone’s treating you lately? You… you promised me. You said I’d be your girlfriend when we grow up. And now… you’d rather choose Sharon over

me?”

Matty’s gaze was nothing like before-no longer soft, no longer warm.

“I don’t blame you for choosing your family over me,” he said quietly. “So why do you get to blame me for choosing Sharon over you?

“And you’re right. You’re not as important as Sharon. There can be lots of girlfriends. But there’s only one Sharon. From now on, we’re no longer friends. Thank you for telling me.”

Then he turned and walked away.

His small frame seemed to carry an icy, unshakable detachment, without even the slightest trace of hesitation or regret.
