Loving Mom 15

Chapter 15

“Sharon, I’ve explained this to you a hundred times. There’s nothing between me and Kelly–not the way you think. Can you stop being so paranoid?”

Sharon’s tone was flat. “Whatever you and Kelly have going on has nothing to do with me. I’ve already signed the divorce papers. When do we go file them?”

“And you can forget about Theo. You won’t get custody. Even if you go to court, you’ve got no job, no income. There’s no chance. Sharon, a smart woman knows when to stop. Push too hard, and it’ll only backfire.”

A chill spread through her chest.
