Chapter 824 Chapter 828 "No." Even with Theo present, Sharon's answer was curt. Carter tried to explain. "Sharon, nothing ever happened between me and Kelly. I never cheated on you, never betrayed you. The only reason I treated her well was because I thought she was terminally ill. For Theo's sake, can't you give me just one more chance?" Sharon studied Carter's striking, austere features. "Carter, when you abandoned me for Kelly, I forgave you. When you defended her and forced me to apologize, I forgave you. When I was sick with a fever-when I was kidnapped-and you chose to be with her instead, I forgave you. "Even when you gave our wedding to her, I still forgave you. I gave you so many chances, and you squandered them all. "No one waits forever. My love for you was drained away, bit by bit, every time you chose Kelly and demanded that I yield. Carter, there is no future for us." His fists clenched unconsciously. "Then what about Theo? If you won't consider me, won't you at least think of him?" Sharon lowered her gaze, looking at her son. Theo stood quietly at her side-no longer the spoiled, willful child he had once been, but calm, steady, almost like a little adult. She asked softly, "Theo, do you want Mommy and Daddy to get back together?" The boy's thoughts flickered briefly to Xavier and Thomas's words. He answered earnestly, "Of course I want Mommy and Daddy to remarry. Then I could see you every day again. 1 "But if living with us makes Mommy unhappy... then Mommy shouldn't be with Daddy. "Whether you're together or not, Mommy will always be my mommy, and Daddy will always be my daddy. "What I want most is for Mommy to be happy-and to live the life she truly wants." A sharp ache stung Sharon's eyes. Kelly's presence had shattered her marriage and family, yet she couldn't deny one thing: it had forced her to escape a suffocating, stagnant life that felt like a grave. And in that turmoil, Theo had grown. He had matured. She didn't know whether to call it fortune or misfortune. 1 "Well said, Theo!"

At the sight of him, Theo's eyes lit up. "Thomas!" 1 Smiling, Thomas walked over and bent slightly toward Theo. "Theo, do you have classes this afternoon? If not, I will take you shooting." The boy's face lit up with excitement. "I'm free today!" The moment Thomas appeared, Carter's brows knitted into a deep frown. "Why are you still here?" 1/3 Thomas turned his head toward him, lips curving faintly. "You look surprised to see me. Do you think I shouldn't be here?" Carter's eyes brimmed with contempt as he stared him down. He turned to Sharon. "Sharon, this man is nothing but a gigolo living off women. You shouldn't keep someone like him by your side." At that, Sharon's gaze turned frosty. "Carter, wasn't the smear campaign against Thomas your doing?" His reply was cold, clipped. "I don't have that much time to waste." "I've already looked into it," Sharon said evenly. "Every single one of those so-called wealthy women who claimed Thomas deceived them has business ties with the Biggs Group." Carter's frown deepened. "And what exactly does that prove?" Sharon's eyes sharpened. "Do you know about the car accident Thomas was in a few days ago?" (1) Title: A Princess? No!
