Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Mom only loves the new baby in her belly now!

Irwin's eyes filled with resentment at the thought. He was determined not to let Mom have that new baby!

They had dinner just a block away from the hotel that evening.

It was classic Cloudcrest City cuisine, and honestly, the food was pretty good.

But Briony had little appetite. Even though she'd napped on the plane earlier, it

was only seven-thirty and already she felt drowsy again.

She barely touched her meal, stifling several yawns during dinner.

Stewart finally noticed something was off.

"Tired?" He set down his fork and poured her a glass of warm lemon water, pushing it gently across the table. "Here, have some water."

Briony just glanced at him, her expression unreadable, and didn't take the glass.

Stewart didn't seem to mind-he simply left the cup in front of her.

Irwin, on the other hand, had eaten his fill. Noticing Briony hadn't touched her rice, he asked with concern, "Mom, don't you like the food?"
