Chapter 8

She rubbed her eyes, trying to make sure she hadn’t seen it wrong

Beside her, Theo noticed Marie’s odd behavior and couldn’t help asking, “Marie, what’s wrong?”

Cautiously, Matie handed her phone to Carter. “Sir, it’s…”

Carter lowered his gaze/

Sharon had left the group chat.

His face darkened.

The next moment, his phone rang.

Kelly’s choked sobs came through the receiver. “Carter… what should we do? Sharon seems really upset…”

Carter suddenly thought of Sharon.

He rarely saw her cry.

The only time she had, it was after she pushed Kelly into the water and landed her in the ICU–still, she stubbornly refused to admit fault.

To punish her, he took Theo back to his parents‘ home and told Sharon that if she didn’t apologize, she’d never see Theo again.

At the time, Theo was suffering from a relapse of his old illness and running a dangerously high fever.

Sharon chased them to the estate, but he hadn’t allowed anyone to let her in.

That night, a torrential rainstorm swept in.

Everyone had been too busy tending to Theo’s fever to remember she was waiting outside.

It wasn’t until the butler quietly reminded him that he even remembered she was there.

She was brought in, soaked to the bone.

That was the first time he saw her cry.

Kelly’s weepy voice dragged him out of the memory.

“I just saw… Sharon left the group. Carter, maybe we should just let it go. If she doesn’t want to make the medicinal meals for me, let’s not trouble her…”

For some reason, an uneasy restlessness stirred in him.
