Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 166

On the drive back, Briony filled Stella in on the three conditions Stewart had laid out.

When Stella heard them, she exploded. "Is he out of his mind? He wants you to go on vacation with him and his son when you're about to get divorced? Ugh! What a creep! And his kid's a little brat, too!"

Briony pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

After a moment, Stella calmed herself and glanced over. "So, what are you thinking?"

"He gave me three days to decide. I need to think it over," Briony admitted. She wasn't ready to give in just yet.

She still wanted to take her chances.

Stella didn't pick up on her hesitation, only nodded and said, "Alright, we've got three days. We'll figure something out."

"Yeah."

Stella dropped Briony off at Dolphin Cove.

She watched Briony disappear inside, then sat in her car, lost in thought. After some deliberation, she pulled out her phone and called Cedric Clarke.
