Loving Mom 213

Chapter 213

On the other end of the line, Carter’s voice came through, tinged with weariness. “You’ve called me so many times. Is it something urgent?”

Sharon’s voice was cool and flat. “Carter, did you forget we’re supposed to get divorced today?”

There was a pause-several seconds of silence.

“I didn’t forget,” he said at last. “I told you just now. Something urgent came up. I couldn’t get away.”

Told her?

Sharon let out a cold laugh in her mind.

If she hadn’t called, would he have said anything at all? He’d already pushed her completely out of his thoughts.

But they were getting divorced anyway. She didn’t see the point in arguing.

What mattered now was getting him to show up and finalize it.

“When I called earlier, Kelly had already come out of the ER. You’ve been with her all morning. You should be free this afternoon, right?”

The words hit Carter differently. They carried a tone-faint, maybe imagined-something like jealousy.
