Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Skybreeze Retreat, second-floor study.

Briony was working on an illustration for her new animation project when her phone began to vibrate on the desk.

It was Jeannie calling.

She set her pen down and answered.

"I'm so sorry to bother you this late, ma'am." Jeannie's voice was as sweet and gentle as ever.

"What's wrong?" Briony asked.

"I've been thinking, and I really felt I should tell you about something," Jeannie said hesitantly.

"Go ahead."

"Well, Ms. Lockwood picked Irwin up after school today, but Irwin lied to Bob about it. When Mr. Wentworth got home and found out Ms. Lockwood had taken Irwin, he was furious. He's gone to fetch Irwin now."

Briony listened, then gave a faint, indifferent smile.

"Ms. Radcliffe," she replied coolly, "this sort of thing isn't something you need to report to me."

"But... you're the lady of the house!" Jeannie protested, her tone innocent. "I feel like Ms. Lockwood is using Irwin to cling to Mr. Wentworth, and you're Mrs. Wentworth. I'm just afraid she'll disrupt your family. As someone who works for you, I'd feel guilty if I didn't give you a heads-up."
