Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 56

Irwin's little body went stiff with fear, then his lower lip began to tremble and, in an instant, tears spilled down his cheeks.

"Dad, why are you being mean to me? It was Mom who lied to me... sob, sob... Mom has changed, and now you have too..."

Stewart's brow was furrowed tight, his face growing even darker.

Watching this father and son, Briony felt a headache coming on.

The moment she picked him up, Irwin clung tightly to her.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't mean to yell at you... sob... I was just so scared you didn't want me anymore..."

Holding Irwin close, Briony felt a complicated mix of emotions.

She spoke to him softly, soothing him with gentle words.
