Chapter 563

After speaking, Theo looked up at Carter cautiously, anxiety written all over his face.

Ever since he could remember, his grandmother had been whispering in his ear that he was the future heir to the Biggs family- a child destined to be different from the rest. He might still be young, but he wasn’t naive. He understood that wanting to live with his mother wouldn’t be so simple.

But the thought of that awful Matty possibly stealing his mom away made his chest tighten with unbearable frustration.

Carter didn’t scowl, nor did he show any sign of displeasure. Instead, he asked calmly, “Why the sudden desire to live with your mom? Aren’t things good with Dad?”

Theo dropped his gaze. “Dad, you’re always so busy. You’re hardly ever home. I get so lonely by myself…”

He paused, tears beginning to shimmer in his eyes.

“I haven’t tasted Mom’s cooking in so long. I haven’t heard one of her bedtime stories in forever. I miss her… I just want her to be by my side. No matter how kind Kelly is, she’ll never be able to replace Mom.” 1

Carter showed no surprise. It was only natural. After all, it was Sharon who had raised Theo since birth.

But as the silence stretched on, Theo grew uneasy.

“Dad, I promise I won’t slack off on my studies if I live with Mom. I’ll study hard and be the kind of heir you want me to be. And when I have free time, I’ll come visit you and Grandma.”

Carter looked into his son’s hopeful eyes. His dark gaze rippled, deep as an undercurrent beneath still water.

Then he asked, “Theo, do you still want to live with both your mom and me, the three of us together like before?”

Theo nodded without hesitation. “Of course I do!”

He had always admired his father. His mother had told him many times how impressive his dad was-how he could do anything. But Dad was just too busy and hardly had time for him. Given the choice, Theo would rather live with Mom.
