Loving Mom 150

Chapter 150

Sharon looked at Carter. “If I could afford to raise him, would you give him to me?”

Carter didn’t hesitate. “Absolutely not.”

Her eyes lifted, gaze steady on his sharp, handsome features. “And if I insisted?”

His answer was cutting, almost cruel. “Sharon, if you try to take him from me, you don’t stand a chance.”

She let out a soft, bitter laugh. “That’s right. Even if it goes to court, I’m just a stay-at-home mom with no real income. No judge is going to hand him over to me.”

Just another excuse for your side to attack me. The work of a stay-at-home mom? It counts for nothing. Tell me, Carter, do you still believe this child belongs to me, too?”
