All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

"Matty, Sharon, here—you two take these."Sharon smiled and thanked him. "Lately I've been eating so many desserts, I'm starting to wonder if I'll gain weight."Biting into his cone, Xavier replied, "A woman with a few curves look better anyway. All bones just looks... wrong."Matty looked up curiously. "Sharon, did you not used to eat sweets?""Mm," she nodded. "After I had Theo, I almost stopped completely."Matty paused for a second, then seemed to understand."Is it because Theo is lactose intolerant, so you stopped eating sweets too?"Sharon gave a small nod.Xavier, seemingly reminded of something, added, "All these years, you've just been holding back like this? You were married to Carter for five years, and I don't think he ever even knew what you liked to eat."Sharon had always liked bold flavors—especially spicy food. Practically addicted to it. But for years, everything she made was mild and clean, because of Carter's and Theo's dietary needs.She said, "If I don'

The first time a person filed for divorce, they would have to wait six months before they could file again. Then there was mediation, more paperwork—layers of procedure. To actually finalize it? One would have to look at two years, minimum.Getting married was easy. Just sign a paper.But divorce? It was hard. Even if both parties agreed, there was still a mandatory cooling-off period.On the other end of the line, silence lingered for a few seconds."Sharon," Carter said. "Is Theo with you?"Sharon frowned. "No, he's not.""You're sure?" he pressed. "Theo really isn't with you?"Her tone began to cool. "Carter, what exactly are you trying to say?""Theo's missing."Her voice turned cold. "Then go look for him. Why are you calling me? You think I can just conjure him out of thin air?""You don't sound surprised. Not even a little worried," he said.Kelly's words still echoed in his mind, planting seeds of doubt.And Sharon… she didn't sound shocked at all.But Sharon wasn'

"Carter, the person you should be questioning is Theo, not me." Sharon's voice was laced with thinly veiled contempt and clear impatience. "If you called just to interrogate me about this, then don't bother calling again. I won't pick up anymore."Carter's voice came through, cold enough to cut. "Stay where you are. If you try to take Theo and leave, I'll have no choice but to have someone detain you."Sharon had been planning to look around the amusement park after hearing Theo might be there.But hearing that haughty, commanding tone in his voice changed her mind entirely."Carter," she said, her voice calm but sharp, "you once told me that if you need something from someone, you'd better learn how to ask nicely."Carter sounded almost incredulous. "Ask? You think I'm asking you for something?"She didn't wait for a response. "You're not asking—you're ordering. And who do you think you are, exactly? Why should I take orders from you? I hope you get one thing straight. I am not y

Matty had always been afraid of water, but his dad had taken him to see many therapists. The fear had eased, bit by bit, until now it was almost gone.He'd even been thinking, maybe in a little while, he could ask Sharon to teach him how to swim.Theo stood by the shore, staring at him in a daze. The image flashed in his mind—Matty deliberately falling, deliberately hurting himself—and the way his mother had looked at him then, full of worry and pain.With a scoff, Theo said, "Hmph. Faking weakness? Anyone can do that. You jump, I'll jump too."Let's see who Mom ends up taking care of.Then, without another word, he leapt in after Matty.He forgot, though. He could swim.Now he just stood there awkwardly in the water, not sure what to do. The fury that had built up inside him fizzled out like a match drowned in a lake.At that moment, Matty's weak voice drew Sharon's attention back."Sharon, I feel awful…"She spoke gently, soothing him, "Hang in there, Matty. The ambulance is

Madeline opened her mouth to say something more, but Carter stopped her."Mom, Theo's alone in the hospital room. You and Denise should go check on him."Madeline was still fuming, but with Carter stepping in—and her own fault undeniable—she could only shoot Sharon a furious glare before turning to leave.But Sharon's voice cut through the air."Wait."Everyone turned to her.Sharon spoke slowly, her tone calm but unmistakably sharp. "Despite being fully aware that I'm the child's biological mother, Madeline has made a false police report and spread defamatory claims. Her actions have not only damaged my reputation, but also violated public security laws."She turned to the police officer. "Officer, we can't let this slide. If there's no consequence today, what happens next time—if she calls the cops again during one of my important performances, just to sabotage me?"The officer asked, "Sharon, do you want to press charges?"Cases like this—filing a false police report—could
