Loving Mom 109

Chapter 109

A sharp glint flickered in Kelly’s eyes.

She frowned slightly and spoke, “Carter, that boy-Matty-what exactly is his relationship with Sharon? I get the feeling… she treats him even better than she treats Theo.”

Carter hadn’t been paying much attention to Sharon until then, but at Kelly’s words, a crease formed between his brows. He looked over in her direction.

He didn’t know what Matty had said, but Sharon was smiling at him gently, pulling out a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth.

Matty beamed back at her, his face lighting up with adoration.

There was something in the way he looked at her-full of trust, reliance, and something close to worship. It was the kind of look a child might give his mother.

The sight landed hard in Theo’s chest.

Once, she used to smile at him like that. Once, she would wipe his mouth and laugh softly at his crumbs.
