Chapter 132
Matty could hardly believe his ears. He jerked his head up excitedly.
“Sharon, what did you say? You're going with me?”
Sharon smiled and nodded. “Yeah, this time, I'll go with you.”
Matty threw his arms around her leg, his face full of gratitude.
“Sharon, you're the best!”
Watching Matty bounce around so happy, a complicated feeling stirred deep in Sharon's heart.
Theo found her embarrassing-he didn’t even tell her about the kindergarten’s parent-child event.
But Matty had carefully asked for her opinion, and after she said yes, he was this joyful.
The contrast between the two boys was striking.

Sharon hesitated for a moment before asking, “Matty, are you sure you wantto cwith you?”
Matty’s face instantly fell. “Sharon, don’t you want to go?”
“No,” Sharon's voice faltered. “Don’t you think I'd be embarrassing?”
Matty immediately shook his head. “Sharon, you're so pretty. Why would | be embarrassed?”
“But what if I don’t do well...” Sharon started.
Matty cut her off, serious and earnest. “As long as you cwith me, I'll be happy.”
Then his expression darkened a little. “I don’t have a mom. Dad's always busy. Nobody ever cwithto
kindergarten events before... Every tthere was an event, I'd pretend to be sick to skip.
“| often think, if only I had a mom... I'd listen to her, never make her angry. On weekends, we'd go to the park or
the playground. She’d helpwith stickers and drawing, and tellbedtstories every night. And she'd
always cto the kindergarten
events with me.
“She doesn’t have to be beautiful or perfect-she can have lots of flaws. But as long as she’s there, I'd be happy.
But...”
Matty’s eyes reddened. “Skids have really good moms, but don’t appreciate them. They don’t know their
moms. The ones they complain about are the ones | dream of having.”
A sudden sharp ache hit Sharon’s heart. Without meaning to, Matty had spoken right to the core of her own pain.
The scenes he longed for were exactly what she wanted too.
He never had them. She had them, but couldn't hold on.
She didn’t know who was more miserable.
Sharon wrapped her arms gently around Matty, her voice full of tenderness. “It’s okay. | will always be here for
you.”
Matty looked up at her and said earnestly, “I'll always be here for you too.”
Sharon smiled. “Alright. Let’s win first place together at the talent showcase, okay?”
Matty’s eyes lit up. “Okay!”

Chapter 132
At the kindergarten, the moment Theo heard about the event, his mind immediately went to Kelly.
Kelly played the violin. She was an amazing violinist.
He was confident that if Kelly led the team, they'd definitely win first place.
He had seen her play before.
Though he didn’t understand music, when Kelly wore that white dress and played the violin, she looked like a
fairy.
Since then, his impression of Kelly had completely changed.
But during his hospital stay, Kelly had left him feeling a little disappointed. She cevery day to see him but
never stayed long, never spent the night.
And every day, she left with a different excuse.
“Theo, I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well today. | have to go rest. I'll csee you again tomorrow.”
