Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740

Kelly didn’t come to bother Carter either. She wandered about absentmindedly, but no one paid her any attention.

After leaving the sports club, Sharon, wanting to avoid further interference from Carter, didn’t go anywhere else. She planned to head straight home.

Passing by a supermarket, she decided to get out and buy some groceries. As her assistant, Thomas naturally followed along.

Carter stayed close behind their car and, seeing this, followed them inside.

When it was time to leave, Kelly tried to latch onto Carter’s car, only to be rebuffed. For once, she didn’t insist; instead, she walked away on her own.

Inside the supermarket, Carter saw Sharon pushing the shopping cart, carefully selecting vegetables.

Thomas didn’t cling to her side but walked behind her with Theo.

Theo chatted animatedly with Thomas, occasionally exclaiming, “Amazing!” or Really?” His usual composed and obedient demeanor had vanished-he was practically a different child.

Watching his son be so close and at ease with another man, Carter felt a strange, unpleasant sensation. 1

For the first time, he realized what it felt like to see his child bond so naturally with a man he disliked.

In the past, he had thought Sharon petty and jealous, unable to tolerate anyone even slightly good to their son. Now, standing in the same position, he finally understood her feelings back then.

Sharon, for her part, wasn’t chatting and laughing with Thomas like how Kelly and Carter had done in front of her in the past. Even then, he could barely stand the sight of it. Had she been like that, he would have likely stormed over long ago,

Carter closed his eyes briefly. He realized he had neglected Sharon too much because of Kelly’s antics. He didn’t intervene but simply followed Sharon’s group,

Sharon was focused on picking vegetables. From his vantage point, he could only see the side of her fair, delicate face. Through the glass windows, sunlight fell on her

It seemed she sensed his gaze. Sharon lifted her eyes toward him, frowning slightly. She had long known he had followed.

She was annoyed, but there was no way she could drive him away. After all, it wasn’t her supermarket. She ignored him and continued selecting vegetables.

Theo and Thomas were engrossed in their conversation, completely unaware of Carter trailing behind them.

The vegetables Sharon chose were fresh and of excellent quality. Even the service lady at the produce section couldn’t help but praise her.

“You clearly buy groceries often. You picked the best ones. You must cook at home a lot. You know which parts of the vegetables taste best.’

Sharon smiled. “Yes, I cook. The dishes taste best when you make them yourself.”

Carter’s pupils flickered as he watched her chatting with the lady. He had never accompanied Sharon shopping, let alone picking out vegetables. He had no idea there were so many subtleties involved.

Hearing the conversation, Theo glanced over.

“Wait… picking vegetables isn’t just random?”

The lady laughed. “Of course not. Good vegetables taste different. There’s also the matter of cooking technique-the heat, the timing, the seasonings… there’s a lot to it.”

Theo whispered, “So it’s really that hard when Mom cooks?”

The lady nodded. “Staying home to care for the family isn’t easier than working. In fact, it can be more exhausting. Most people wouldn’t choose to stay home to raise their kids if they had the option to work outside.”
