Loving Mom 41

Chapter 41

Nate’s face flushed red with anger. He lunged forward, clearly intent on confronting Sharon, but Xavier intercepted him halfway.

With a cool, almost languid tone, Xavier spoke. “Nate, there are so many people here, and yet you still dare to get violent. That says a lot about how arrogant you are on a regular basis. And the reason you’re so brazen…”

Carter’s dark eyes grew deeper, heavier with silence. After a moment, he turned toward Sharon.

“What do you want me to do for you to be satisfied?”

Nate’s expression shifted. “Carter…”

Sharon’s tone was detached. “Since he splashed water on me first, let him experience the same. A hundred cups should do.”
