Side Chick Era Over (Sharon and Carter) novel Chapter 849

Chapter 849 

Sharon’s expression softened. “All right.” 

She turned her head toward Thomas, who stood silently to the side. They had come together-leaving him out now would seem discourteous. 

Yet it was Xavier’s birthday, and bringing Thomas along felt… awkward. After all, the two men barely knew each other. 

As she hesitated, Xavier’s voice cut through the quiet. 

“Thomas, I’ll be having dinner with Sharon. Why don’t you leave the task of seeing her home to me tonight?” 

It was a dismissal, clear and firm. 

Thomas’s tone betrayed no emotion. “Then let me wish you a happy birthday.” 

Xavier twirled the keychain between his fingers with a careless smile. 

“I’ll take your good wishes. But getting a gift that Sharon made herself for my birthday—now that’s a real pleasure.” 

At the sight of the keychain in Xavier’s hand, Thomas’s fingers clenched ever so slightly. 

“Then I won’t intrude on your celebration,” he said evenly. 

Xavier smiled faintly. “Come, Sharon. Let’s go.” 

Sharon offered Thomas a brief farewell before leaving with Xavier. 

Thomas remained where he stood, watching their figures recede into the distance. His face was calm, betraying

She stepped closer. “Thomas, I still haven’t properly thanked you for saving me today…” 

But before she could finish, he interrupted her.
