Loving Mom 42

Chapter 42

Xavier raised his eyebrows, as if about to say something, but Sharon cut him off.

“Xavier, why don’t you head back for now? There’s something I’d like to discuss with Mr. Biggs. Alone.”

Xavier paused, then gave a small nod. “Alright. If you need anything, call me anytime.”

Carter’s face darkened for reasons even he couldn’t explain.

Once Xavier had left, Carter stood stiffly, his expression cold. “Sharon, we haven’t even divorced yet, and you’re already eager to bring another man here to-what-build a connection?”

Coming from him, kind words were a rarity.

Sharon’s voice was calm. “Your phone was unreachable. After I was taken to the hospital, the doctor kept urging me to pay. I could only call someone I knew to help out.”

Truthfully, she had called Wendy first. But because of the accident yesterday, she hadn’t been able to pick up Matty. So when she woke up, she called Xavier to explain the situation.

Not long after, Xavier arrived with Matty to visit her. Later, when Wendy came, the two of them left.

Wendy had stayed with her the entire night, and in the morning, Sharon told her to go get some rest.
