Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 727

Chapter 727

“Is it because… she’s your woman?” As he spoke, Thomas gently guided the still-dazed Theo to stand

beside him.

“Theo, your dad’s in a bad mood today. Don’t be mad at him, okay?”

Theo nodded obediently, though he didn’t fully understand why his father was upset.

Thomas’s emotional intelligence was exceptional-he neither blamed nor provoked, unlike Kelly, whose words always carried subtle jabs. Even Carter, who disliked him on principle, couldn’t find fault with anything Thomas said.

Yet that didn’t make Carter like him. On the contrary, he found Thomas unnervingly calculating. He had already suffered losses at Thomas’s hands more than once.

His tone remained curt. “Keep your schemes to yourself. Don’t act sanctimonious here.”

Thomas only sighed softly. “I truly care about Theo. I’m sincerely just looking out for him.”

Then he looked at Sharon. “I don’t know what I’ve done to cause such a misunderstanding between us. Sharon… maybe I should leave for now. You were planning to take Theo out today anyway. Had I known you already had plans, I wouldn’t have come.”

He smiled at Carter. “I wouldn’t want to interrupt your family’s quality time.”

Sharon said, “You don’t need to leave. We didn’t schedule anything. And if anyone should leave, it should be

She called to Theo and Thomas. “Let’s go. Thomas, you drive.”

“Okay,” Thomas replied.

As they passed Carter, Thomas glanced at him with a radiant smile.

“So, it seems you and Sharon didn’t have prior arrangements. You came uninvited? Since you’re in a bad mood today, you probably wouldn’t enjoy it anyway. I’ll take Theo out in your place. When you feel better, you can come find him. Don’t let your foul mood ruin everyone else’s day.”

Theo, realizing what Thomas said, hesitated. He had initially wanted to invite his father, but now… if Dad’s mood was bad, it could upset Mom. Better to leave Dad behind for now. 1

Nodding politely, he waved to Carter. “Bye, Dad.”

With that, the three of them got into Sharon’s car. Thomas pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle quickly disappeared from Carter’s sight.

Only after a long moment did Carter come back to his senses. Somehow, the scene felt eerily familiar.

Suddenly, it hit him-this was so much like the past, when he had taken Kelly to pick up Theo. The only difference was the victim of the situation: now it was he instead of Sharon.

Today, Sharon hadn’t even scolded him, yet he felt so painfully uneasy. Then he thought of all the times he

had criticized Sharon for being immature-how much must she have suffered? >>

It was as if a massive stone were pressing down on his chest.

He stood frozen for a long moment before finally deciding to follow.

He didn’t trust Thomas, whose background remained a mystery. Even he hadn’t been able to uncover anything about Thomas.

Thomas… was definitely trouble.
