Chapter 710
Xavier raised his brows in mock surprise. “I’m Matty’s father. Coming to see my own son is only natural. How could that possibly be improper?”
Carter was momentarily silenced, unable to find a retort.
Sharon pressed her fingers to her temple, already feeling a headache forming. She turned to Carter. “You should head back. I’ll take Theo out today.”
Carter’s gaze hardened, cutting toward Xavier with a cold edge. “What’s this? You plan on taking my son out while fostering feelings with another man?”
Sharon frowned. “Must you always speak so harshly?”
“Truth has always been the harshest thing to hear,” Carter replied flatly.
Sharon parted her lips to argue further, but Theo tugged gently at her sleeve. Tilting his small face up to her, his eyes shone with pleading hope.
“Mom, Dad pushed aside work today just to come with me and see you… Can’t we let him come along too?”
Indeed, Carter had deliberately canceled his schedule, planning to take Sharon and their son out together, just the three of them. He had not expected Xavier and his son to appear first
and steal the moment away.
Sharon hesitated. Taking Theo along was fine-she had no objections. But including Carter… that was something she found far harder to accept.
Sensing her reluctance, Xavier interjected smoothly, “Since Carter is already here, we should all go together.”
Sharon looked at him in surprise. “You mean… take him too?”
The corner of Xavier’s mouth curved into a faint smile. “If you don’t, I doubt any of us will be going anywhere today.”

Carter shot him a sidelong glare. “At least you’re self-aware.”

Xavier chuckled softly. “When you’ve dealt with enough shameless people, you learn to recognize them easily.”
Carter sneered. “Or perhaps you measure others by your own standards. That would explain such familiarity.”
Xavier raised a brow. “You seem to know the method well, Mr. Biggs. Do you practice it
often yourself?”
Before the sparring could escalate further, Sharon pressed her throbbing temples and cut them both off. “Enough. It’s getting late. Let’s just go.”
She hated to admit it, but Xavier was right. If she refused Carter outright, knowing his petty nature, he might very well ensure no one went anywhere today.
A few minutes later, they were all seated in Carter’s car. Xavier played the part of the gracious guest, unconcerned about whose car they took. Since both Theo and Matty wanted to sit with Sharon, the arrangement left them no choice but to ride together.
Carter took the wheel, his expression unreadable. Xavier claimed the passenger seat, while Sharon sat in the back between the two boys.
The car eased onto the road toward the amusement park.
With a lazy smile, Xavier remarked, “We’ll have to trouble you today, Carter, for driving us all the way there and back.”
His tone dripped with implication, reducing Carter to little more than a chauffeur.
Carter kept his lips pressed thin, offering no reply. He wasn’t fond of verbal sparring, and he had no interest in indulging Xavier’s baiting. Instead, he pressed harder on the accelerator, face like stone.
But Xavier wasn’t done. He glanced around the car interior with idle curiosity. Then, as though struck by a thought, he chuckled. “This seat I’m in-it must usually belong to Kelly,

doesn’t it?”
The pointed jab darkened Carter’s face.

“A car is for transportation. There’s no such thing as a seat reserved for anyone.”
Xavier gave a low laugh and suddenly reached beneath the seat cushion, pulling out a tube of lipstick.
“Well, that’s strange. From what I hear, you haven’t given anything to Sharon recently. If this lipstick doesn’t belong to Kelly… then who does it belong to?”
Feigning confusion, he turned the tube in his hand, his voice laced with feigned innocence.
“Unless… you’ve found yourself another girlfriend, Carter? If so, my apologies. I must have
misunderstood.”
