Loving Mom 63

Chapter 63

“Mom? You mean Sharon?” Matty turned his head slowly, eyes blank. “But… isn’t that lady your mom?”

He glanced toward Kelly, still lying in the hospital bed. “Didn’t you two just play in the parent-child games together this morning?”

Theo’s face was cold and tight. “Just because we played some games doesn’t mean she’s my mom.”

“But… when everyone asked, you didn’t deny it.” Matty’s voice was light, curious-like a child who didn’t know any better. “And didn’t you say Sharon is just a nanny in your house?”

Nanny.

That word landed like a stone dropped in still water. The air seemed to freeze for a beat. Everyone’s expression shifted.

There were things everyone knew, quietly understood, but never said out loud.

A Madam of the Biggs family was being called a nanny-if that got out, the one dragged into the mud wouldn’t just be Sharon. It would be Carter. The entire Biggs family.
