"Even me, Carter?" Kelly entered gracefully, holding a thermal flask in her hand.

Carter's gaze darkened slightly. "Kelly, what are you doing here?"

"I heard your stomach's been acting up again," she said gently. "I came to bring you some medicinal food."

Some of the chill faded from Carter's handsome, aloof features.

"You didn't have to go through the trouble."

Kelly smiled faintly and opened the thermal container. "Theo mentioned that your stomach problems were always managed with Sharon'

  • Side Chick Era… Over   Chapter 1985

    After the last parent-child event in the afternoon, the entire day's activities finally came to an end.Theo, oblivious to everything else, was the happiest of them all.He held Sharon's hand in one and Carter's in the other, beaming. "This is the first time I've ever participated in an activity with both my mom and dad! I hope from now on, I can always do things like this with both of you!"Sharon and Carter froze for a moment, then exchanged a quick glance.Indeed… Theo was already this old, and yet, this was the first time they had attended an event together as a family.Carter looked at Theo's joyful face and murmured softly, "I'm sorry… Dad was too busy before. From now on, your mom and I will spend as much time with you as we can."He subconsciously glanced at Sharon, but she only smiled gently, holding Theo's hand without a word.Theo, brimming with happiness, ran over to the other children, proudly showing off his parents.The group of children clustered around him, eye

    Sharon stood frozen in place, letting Thomas hold her. She didn't resist, but she didn't respond either, like a puppet stripped of its soul.After a while, her voice broke the silence."I've done what I promised. Now… you can leave, right?"Thomas tightened his arms around her and paused for a moment before slowly letting her go."Fine… then I'll come see you tomorrow."Sharon lowered her lashes, clearing the thoughts swirling in her eyes."No need," she said, her voice flat, betraying no emotion. "Thomas, today is the last time you'll see me. I've decided to get back together with Carter, so please… don't come looking for me again.""I don't believe you, Sharon," Thomas said stubbornly.Sharon lifted her head to meet his dark, intense eyes."Thomas… Carter has admitted his mistakes. He promised me he won't make them again. I grew up in a single-parent household. I know better than anyone what that life feels like. That's why I want to give Theo a complete family."She paused

    "Carter, you need to start looking forward too," Sharon said.Carter's gaze was deep, unwavering as he looked at her. "Sharon, you once said that for someone worth it, anything done for them is worth it. You have your life. I won't interfere. But I also have my memories. You don't need to feel burdened. And…"His eyes reflected her image, focused and earnest."All that you've given over these five years—it hasn't just touched you. It's just that I didn't know how to cherish it. Sharon… to me, you are that person worth everything."Sharon knew no words of persuasion could change him now. She shifted the topic."This weekend, arrange a large-scale parent-child activity at the school."There were only two days left until the weekend.Carter understood immediately. "I'll take care of it."Sharon asked, "The bodyguards… everything's arranged?"He nodded lightly. "He won't be able to act so recklessly as he did in Zachemaine.""Good," Sharon said. "I'll be staying with Theo for the

    Sharon said, "To be honest, I'm not going to Zachemaine to see Theo. I'm going there to avoid you. Thomas, you really are impossible to deal with. You have left me with no other choice… I have to hide."On the other end, she heard heavy, quick breaths. A flicker of worry crossed her mind, fearing he might be stalling deliberately. She said nothing further and simply hung up.Immediately, she signaled the pilot to take off.With a rumble, the plane lifted into the air. Outside, the sky was thick with dark clouds, mirroring the storm in Sharon's heart.As the plane ascended, she caught sight of a familiar figure at the airport.Dressed in black, he stood out starkly against the empty tarmac, as if the whole world revolved around him alone.As the plane climbed higher, the figure shrank, turning into a tiny black dot before vanishing entirely.In that moment, Sharon felt an emptiness swell in her chest.…After landing, Sharon was immediately picked up by Carter's men. She guesse

    Worried about Denise, Carter flew back to Amstern City that very day with Theo.Sharon stayed behind at Wendy's house.During that time, she received a call from Thomas, asking when she would return. Sharon only replied, "In two days," and Thomas didn't press further.Three days later, Sharon removed the tracking ring from her hand and placed it on the living room table.She asked Wendy, "Is everything set?"Wendy glanced at Sharon, disguised as a man with a wig, and let out a faint sigh."Sharon… are you sure this is a good idea? If Thomas finds out, he'll worry about you."Sharon pulled on her hat and mask. "If he asks, you don't need to cover for me—just tell the truth.""Sigh… I guess going back to Amstern City is for the best. At least Carter won't be under pressure anymore, and he won't get hurt because of this," Wendy said.Sharon checked the time on her wrist. "It's getting late. I should go."Wendy nodded.Just as Sharon stepped out of the room, Wendy called after h

    With one incident after another befalling the Biggs family, even if Sharon were slow to catch on, she could still see what was happening.Thomas was forcing Carter to go back.If Denise had truly been kidnapped, Carter would definitely return.Sure enough, not long after Sharon learned the news, Carter called. His voice carried a trace of cold severity. "Sharon, something's happened to Denise. I'm afraid I have to go back."Sharon asked, "What's her condition right now?""It's still unclear. I have to go back to find out." He paused for a few seconds before saying softly, "Sharon, I'm sorry."He had promised to help her, yet now he had to leave so soon—he'd barely done anything for her at all.Carter understood perfectly well that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes. And once he returned this time, he might not be able to come back anytime soon. Since Thomas had already made his arrangements, he wouldn't let him return so easily."What about Theo?" Sharon asked. "Will

    "I'm paying for my kid to come to this kindergarten to learn, not to be summoned every time something happens just so I can sit here and be lectured," Xavier said. "If your school can't even handle basic conflicts between children, you may as well shut it down before you ruin more kids."The teache

    It was a video from a recent parent-child activity at the kindergarten.Theo had just won first place and was now surrounded by a crowd of excited children. His face glowed with pride, basking in the admiration.One of the kids asked, "Theo, were those your mom and dad who came to play the game wi

    Matty's voice suddenly broke through the silence."She's not Theo's mom. Sharon is."By now, Matty had gotten to his feet. He walked over to Sharon and helped her up, his small hands gently steadying her."Sharon, are you okay?"Sharon looked up into his worried eyes, and for a moment, a sharp s

    The sound of Theo's irritated voice still echoed in the conference room."She's just a housewife who doesn't have a single useful skill. So she cooks a little—what's so great about that? Even my housekeeper can do all that. If you think she's so wonderful, then fine—take her. She can be your mom. K
