Loving Mom 376

Chapter 376

As for Kelly’s so-called terminal illness, Madeline had already heard the full story from Nate not long ago. Apparently, they’d found a cure. As long as Kelly cooperated with the treatment, she’d recover completely.

Madeline, however, wasn’t convinced. Not one bit.

Terminal illness? More like a clever excuse to stay close to Carter. She’d seen enough women like Kelly. She knew exactly how this game was played.

Had this been the past, she would’ve exposed the lie right in front of Carter without hesitation. But now… now, she chose to stay

silent.

She saw through it, but said nothing. Because something else had started bothering her.

She realized… Carter actually had thoughts of getting back together with Sharon, of letting Sharon return… and once again become Theo’s mother.

The mere thought sent a ripple of panic through Madeline.

She’d already burned every bridge with Sharon. If Sharon came back… wouldn’t that be absolutely embarrassing for Madeline?

No. Absolutely not.

Madeline would rather see Kelly marry into the family than ever let Sharon back through the family doors.
