Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

“Because.....” Rosita lowered her head, her voice barely above a whisper. "My mom told him we're about to have the wedding."

Stewart's expression darkened. "Didn't I say the wedding was off?"

"She was probably afraid Mr. Lockwood would look down on me, so in her panic, she told him everything—about us, and about Irwin too."

Stewart narrowed his eyes, his voice icy. "I've made it clear-Irwin has nothing to do with the Lockwood family."

"I'm sorry." Rosita's voice broke, thick with emotion.

She knew Irwin was Stewart's red line. Honestly, when Lauren mentioned Irwin, she'd felt angry too.

After all, Saul was no fool. If he started getting suspicious, everything they'd worked for could fall apart.

"My mom's just worried I'll keep getting pushed around by the Lockwoods. She thought that maybe, if she brought up your name, Saul would give me an easier time."

"I understand." Stewart glanced at his watch. "I'll find some time in the next couple days to go with you to see the Lockwoods. It's been years-I should pay Saul a visit. I have something urgent to take care of now. Zack will drive you back to Lunar Heights. Get some rest when you get home."

Rosita gripped her teacup tightly. "Alright."

Briony had made up her mind: she was leaving Northborough.

She'd set the date for exactly one week later.

It was a decision she'd made after coming home from the hospital.

Stella had lost her memory, but according to Cedric Clarke and Scarlett, even though she'd forgotten many people and things, she seemed genuinely happy now.

Every day, Dr. Clarke-who adored her-was by her side, and her loving parents cared for her. She didn't have to work or worry about her troublesome sister anymore.
