Loving Mom 217

Chapter 217

Some tricks worked once or twice. Push them too far, and they start to backfire.

Especially now-Sharon was gone.

The person Carter had sent to watch her had already reported back: she’d gone home.

As soon as Carter left, Nate’s face lit up with the smug satisfaction of a plan falling perfectly into place.

“I knew it. Sharon couldn’t wait for Carter and came running to the hospital instead. Good thing I was prepared, or she really might’ve gotten her way.”

Kelly smiled too, the kind of smile that only comes after enduring too many losses and finally tasting a win. She’d been bested by Sharon too many times lately. She needed this-something to pull her out of the fog.

She turned to Nate, her voice full of praise. “Nate, you really thought of everything. If it were up to me, I couldn’t have come up with all that.”

Nate beamed, clearly pleased. “Kelly, you’re too pure. There’s no way you could outmaneuver someone like Sharon. She’s downright cunning.”

He swore he’d never been this sharp in his life.

Usually, he was careless, impulsive, the kind of person who rarely thought things through.
