Loving Mom 16

Chapter 16

Meanwhile, in the private room, Nate was gesturing wildly as he rambled off to Julliard and Kelly.

“I knew it! She had time to sneak off with some random dude, but not enough to make the medicinal soup for you. Kelly, just wait–Carter’s not going to let that housewife off easy.”

Kelly opened her mouth to respond, but the door creaked open before she could say a word.

Carter stepped in, his face unreadable as always. He rarely showed his emotions–whether happy or angry, you could never tell just by looking at him. But for some reason, Kelly sensed something different today. Something colder than usual.

Softly, she asked, “Carter, has Sharon calmed down? She must’ve gone back to take care of Theo, right?”

Carter’s lips pressed into a firm line. “No.”

Kelly’s eyes widened. “She didn’t even go back for Theo?”

Biting her lower lip, she hesitated, then seemed to make up her mind. “Carter, maybe I should go and apologize to her? Theo’s still so young. He needs his mother. No matter how angry we adults get, we shouldn’t drag a child into it. He’s innocent.”

Nate rolled his eyes. “Oh, come on. We all know what she’s doing using the kid to threaten Carter. That woman’s vicious. Even her own child isn’t off limits. She’s a disgrace to women.”
