Side Chick Era... Over

Loving Mom 272

Chapter 272

Carter’s eyes darkened slightly.

He suddenly remembered the moment earlier-when Kelly handed Sharon a glass of wine and Sharon had fumbled, spilling it all over Kelly’s dress.

Sharon had said it wasn’t intentional, claiming Kelly hadn’t held the glass properly on purpose.

And he he hadn’t believed her.

Now, looking at Carter’s handsome but detached face, Sharon said, “That’s right. I did it on purpose. I’d rather smash it to pieces than let her have it. From now on, anything that belongs to me-no one is taking a single thing away. And one more thing…”

She tilted her chin slightly, eyes meeting his without flinching.

“Does it hurt? Good. It should. As long as we’re not divorced, things like this will keep happening. Over and over again. And even if it hurts… you’ll just have to live with it.”

Nate and Carter wanted a fight? Fine. Let them come.

She wasn’t afraid of either of them.

Before they got the chance to corner her with some underhanded scheme, she’d make sure they were the ones left sickened first.

She used to think only of ending the marriage-tolerating humiliation and swallowing her pride just to get out clean.
