Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709

Following the direction of Theo’s small finger, Sharon’s gaze fell on Carter standing not far

away.

Beside her, Matty politely greeted him.

“Good morning, Theo.”

“Morning,” Theo replied with a glance.

He no longer looked at Matty with the hostility he once carried, as if every encounter were a

mortal grudge. Perhaps it was because of the last time, when Matty defended his mother in

a fight against other children and bravely took responsibility. Or perhaps it was because

Aunt Victoria had told him that the worse his temper grew, the further he would push his

mother away.

Either way, his attitude had softened. At the very least, he no longer caused trouble in front

of Sharon.

Lowering her head slightly, Sharon looked at him.

“Theo, did you come here to see me for something?”

Theo nodded, then carefully opened the little backpack he carried. From inside, he pulled

out a tube of ointment.

“Daddy said you hurt your hand. I came to bring you medicine.”

He placed the ointment in her hand, his voice serious. “Daddy told me this works really well. Any wound will heal quickly.”

Sharon glanced at the medicine, then at the boy’s bright, expectant eyes. After a pause, she accepted it. 1

“Thank you.”

At once, Theo’s face lit up, his smile blooming like sunlight. He eagerly took her hand.

“Mommy, are you taking Matty somewhere fun today?”

It was the weekend. Both boys had no school.

Sharon didn’t hide it. “I was planning to take him to the amusement park.”

Theo’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. “Mommy, I want to go too! Can I come with you?”

She hesitated, her silence betraying a flicker of doubt. 1

At that moment, Matty suddenly spoke up.

“It’s been so long since Theo’s seen you, Sharon. If he wants to play together, let’s all go. You only have a few days to rest, and I’ve been keeping you to myself. If Theo comes along,

it’ll be livelier, and you can spend more time with him.”1

He turned to Theo with a smile-innocent, harmless, yet tinged with a quiet pride.

Theo’s small fists clenched before he realized it. He could hear the subtle triumph in Matty’s words.

Sharon considered it, then finally nodded.

Theo broke into a grin. “Daddy drove me here. Let’s take his car to the amusement park.”

Sharon opened her mouth to refuse, but Matty interjected smoothly. “My daddy drove too.

We can ride in his car instead.”

Sharon froze. “Matty, your dad came as well?”

He nodded.

Just then, a sleek black sedan pulled up in front of them. The door opened, and a tall, broad- shouldered man stepped out with unhurried grace.

“Sharon, Matty… I’m not late, am I?”

With a laugh, Matty rushed into his arms. “Daddy, you came just in time!”

Sharon hadn’t known Xavier would appear today. Surprise flickered across her face.

“Xavier?”

Xavier smiled. “I’ll come along too. You won’t mind, will you, Sharon?”

“I don’t mind, it’s just—”

Her words trailed off as another tall figure strode toward them.

“Xavier,” Carter’s cold voice cut in, “dropping by uninvited-don’t you find that a little impolite?”

Xavier arched a brow. “Uninvited? Were you formally invited?”

Carter’s expression didn’t shift. “A child coming to see his mother needs no invitation. He may come whenever he wishes.”

Xavier chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming with something sharper. “A child seeking his mother-of course, that’s only right. But Sharon isn’t your mother, Carter.”

Carter’s voice dropped, colder than steel. “I’m his father. Visiting his mother is as natural as breathing. But you… you have neither name nor standing here.”
