Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Stewart had no choice but to take Irwin back to the Wentworth family estate for the time being.

But when they arrived, Irwin refused to get out of the car no matter what.

"Dad, I promise I'll be good. Please don't leave me at Grandma's house, okay?"

Stewart could sense something was off with Irwin, but he didn't dwell on it. He figured Irwin was just having a tough time adjusting-he'd been alone at Southcreek Manor for days, with only Sylvie for company. It was normal for a child to get separation anxiety under these circumstances.

"Irwin, Daddy still has to work for a few more days. Why don't you stay at Grandma's for now? As soon as I'm done, I'll come pick you up and take you home."

"No!" Irwin clung tightly to Stewart, his small arms wrapped around his father. "If you're busy, can you take me to stay with Mom Rosita instead? I don't like Grandma's house. Grandma is always so strict!"

Fiona, Stewart's mother, had always been rather forceful and lacked patience with children.

Irwin had never been close to her, and Stewart knew that better than anyone.

But with Rosita still unconscious, Stewart didn't want Irwin to know. He was too young to handle the truth.

If only Briony could be here to look after him right now, Stewart thought.

He looked down at Irwin's young, tear-streaked face, feeling helpless and weighed down by guilt.
