Loving Mom 204

Chapter 204

There was no way a five-year-old child was capable of that, unless someone was telling him what to do behind the scenes.

Lately, he’d had people watching Xavier.

Xavier was busy-always traveling for work. Most of the time, Matty stayed with Sharon.

He’d had someone look deeply into Xavier’s relationship with Sharon.

Despite the way Xavier called her affectionately, his behavior never crossed any boundaries. Their contact was minimal, and he kept his distance.

That was the only reason Carter hadn’t moved against him.

Even now, when Theo had been treated so unfairly, he hadn’t suspected Sharon. He’d thought maybe Matty had just said something reckless, that Theo and Sharon weren’t getting along, and some misunderstanding had taken root.
