All Chapters of Side Chick Era… Over: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

What was so great about Matty anyway? He was just a little drama king who only knew how to play the victim.Jealousy burned in Theo's chest. He wanted so badly to rip off Matty's fake mask and expose him right here, right now—to make his mom see that this kid was nowhere near as innocent as she thought.But after sucking in a sharp breath, he held back.He'd fallen for Matty's tricks too many times before. He knew better now. Without proof, no one would believe him.And besides… that wasn't why he came here today.Theo had more important things to do.His sudden appearance forced Wendy to swallow back the things she'd been itching to say about Carter. The conversation drifted into empty small talk to fill the silence.Throughout the meal, Matty chattered nonstop, sharing stories and little jokes. For someone so young, he had a sharp tongue, witty enough to keep everyone laughing.Sharon never once looked at Theo. But Wendy didn't ignore him. She occasionally asked how school wa

Back then, Theo had said the same thing."Mom, Kelly didn't mean it. Why do you always assume the worst about Kelly? You should apologize to her."Sharon's cold voice yanked Theo back to the present."Theo," she said flatly, "why do you always assume the worst about Matty? As far as I know, he's never once done anything to hurt you. So why are you always targeting him?"Theo's composure shattered. "I didn't! I didn't! I didn't!" His voice trembled with fury. "He's the one! He's always pretending to be nice to my face but doing something else behind my back! He did it on purpose!"Right then, Wendy returned with the first aid kit. She stepped through the doorway with a strange expression. "Sharon, someone's here."Sharon looked up, her gaze landing on Carter and Kelly standing in the doorway.Xavier raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Biggs. Kelly. What a coincidence... didn't expect to see you here."Kelly smiled, polite but distant. "We actually came looking for Theo. When we went to pi

Kelly's smile stiffened for a second before she quickly recovered. "Of course not. Theo's always been an honest child," she said softly, casting him a gentle glance. "Which is why, Sharon, I hope you can try to trust Theo a little more in the future."She pivoted fast—barely a few sentences before her words subtly shifted the blame back onto Sharon.Whatever mixed emotions Theo had felt about Kelly just a moment ago vanished the instant her gentle voice wrapped around him. His wounded heart, battered by Sharon's cold indifference, suddenly felt warm again. Eyes rimmed red, he threw himself into Kelly's arms."Kelly… Matty bullied me," he whimpered, his voice full of grievance.Kelly stroked his hair softly, her voice tender, comforting. A child like him was something she could manipulate with ease.Her gaze flicked back to Sharon. "Sharon, no matter what's happened between you and Carter, the fact remains—Theo is your son. That's never going to change. I hope you'll show him a lit

Matty's clear eyes quietly settled on Theo."No matter if we come in first or dead last… no matter how Sharon does… I'll never feel embarrassed by her. Not ever."Theo glared at him. "Hmph! We'll see if you still say that when you make a fool of yourself! When you lose, don't come crying like a baby, you little brat!"He hadn't always felt this ashamed of his mom. But ever since Kelly came back, his mom just kept embarrassing herself.Especially at his birthday party, when she got into an argument with one of Nate's friends. Everyone had watched like spectators at a circus, whispering, laughing behind their hands. He heard the uncles and aunties muttering that his mom wasn't presentable, wasn't the type you could bring to formal events."No wonder," they had said. "No wonder your daddy always takes Kelly to social gatherings instead."Back then, he hadn't switched to the new kindergarten yet. Everyone knew Sharon was his mother.By the very next day, word had spread. Everyone

"All these years, my mother had received plenty of tips like that… sightings, rumors. She didn't hold out much hope." Sharon's voice was calm, but carried an undertone of something hollow. "But when she actually went there… the man really was my father."She was shocked. Overwhelmed. She didn't even have time to ask why he'd been alive all this time, yet hadn't contacted her for three whole years."Xavier's brow lifted slightly, as if something clicked in his mind. "Don't tell me… he had amnesia?"Sharon nodded, her lips curving into a faint, helpless smile. "Yeah. Pretty cliché, isn't it? He lost his memory. And—brace yourself—he married the fisherwoman who saved him."Xavier's expression shifted subtly, though he said nothing."When my father found out he already had a wife… and children… he couldn't accept it," Sharon continued. "To him, my mother and us kids were complete strangers. The woman who'd saved him—the one who stayed by his side when his mind was blank—she was his an
