Chapter 202
Carter's gaze darkened.
So Kelly had been right-this whole farce was Sharon's doing.
Theo hadn't expected his father to say that so bluntly. He froze for a few seconds, then rushed to explain, “Mom
didn’t tellto say that. I just... | really don’t want you and Mom to get divorced...”
But before he could finish, Carter cut him off.
“Tellthis did you sneak out to find your mother?”
His tone was cold, face sharp with disapproval. The pressure he carried-without raising his voice, without
needing to-settled over the room like a weight. Theo shrank under it, his confidence crumbling.
He lowered his head. “Yes.”
Carter's expression didn’t soften. His voice grew even colder. “Who told you she’d be at the amusement park?”
He'd already checked the boy’s phone-no suspicious calls, no messages. Which meant someone had told him in
person.
Theo mumbled, “It was... Matty.”
As expected. Carter's face barely shifted, but the knowledge settled in like something inevitable.
He had already suspected it-either Sharon told the boy herself, or she let Matty carry the message.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe’d sunk so low she was using children now.
Carter looked at his son, eyes full of unease and tension. His voice cout quiet and flat. “Don’t worry. Your
mother won't
divorce me.”
Just then, a soft knock broke the silence. The door opened.
Sharon stepped inside.
At the sight of her, Theo's eyes lit up. His mom had cto see him!
No wonder that sneaky Matty always acted hurt-it worked. It actually worked.
A sense of discovery bloomed in him, like he'd just stumbled on something secret and useful.
Sharon walked in, her gaze immediately drawn to the boy watching her so intently. Her brows twitched, but she
asked calmly,” How are you feeling? Still uncomfortable anywhere?”
Theo opened his mouth to say he was fine-he’d already recovered-but then he remembered Matty curled up in
Mom's arms, weak and pitiful, and how tenderly she held him, how gentle her voice had been.
So he changed his answer. “I... | still feel a little sick.”
But Sharon didn’t cover to comfort him. She didn’t reach out or soften her tone. Instead, she said, “Theo,
why did you push Matty?”
He stared at her, stunned.
He thought she was here to check on him. But she wasn’t. She was here to blhim. Because of that awful
Matty.
It was like a bucket of cold water dumped over his head. Every ounce of hope he had was doused, replaced by
quiet disappointment and a swelling, unspoken sense of hurt.

“I didn’t push him! He jumped on his own!”
Sharon looked at him, then sighed softly, shaking her head.
“Theo, the surveillance footage caught everything. It's clear who did what. You know I've never asked much from
you. | only ask that if you do something, you own up to it. Do you think pushing someone and then jumping after
them will erase what you did?
Carter and Madeline had always demanded the highest academic performance from Theo. He had private tutors
four days a week. Every weekend, Madeline would personally pick him up for lessons.
Sharon, in contrast, had wanted something simpler for him. A lighter, freer childhood.
But she also knew-Theo wasn't like other kids. He was the heir to the Biggs family. From the moment he was
born, he'd been marked for that role. There would be no easy path for him.
So she never pressured him academically.
What she focused on, always, was character.
She spent her tteaching him how to be a decent person. And every tshe tried to correct him, Madeline
would scold her. Said she was making a big deal out of nothing, that she didn’t know where to put her priorities
when raising a child.
