Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

So when he saw Briony return with Little Nina, he wasn't really surprised-though he couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Because Briony only had eyes for Little Nina. She never spared him a glance.

He'd always thought Briony's coldness meant she had her own child now and didn't need him anymore.

But what did Dad mean by what he just said?

Irwin spoke up, "But doesn't Mom Bryn have Little Nina now?"

Stewart looked right at him. "She was pregnant with twins. There were complications, and one of the babies died. Irwin, you should have had a little brother. She was the reason he didn't make it."

Irwin's eyes widened in shock. He turned to look at Rosita.

Irwin frowned, staring at Rosita.
