Chapter 66

Nate wore a look of smug satisfaction. “Dealing with a woman like Sharon, someone with no income or support? There are plenty of ways to make her cave.”

He turned to Carter. “Just give her a few days of cold treatment. After that, I’ll come up with a couple of tricks. I guarantee she’ll come crawling back.”

Carter didn’t respond. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Kelly.

“Kelly, you fell down the stairs on your own. Why didn’t you tell us what really happened?”

The things she’d said earlier… There had definitely been a hint of manipulation.

Tears shimmered in her eyes as she looked at him. “I thought Sharon went to Theo’s kindergarten to apologize to Theo and you. I just wanted to take her to you… Maybe I got too anxious. I reached out to grab her, and I honestly can’t say whether she shook me off or if I just slipped.”
