Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 683

Briony was caught off guard.

She'd thought that on their first New Year's together as a family, Stewart would make it a priority.

He'd said he was busy... but on New Year's Eve, there was no way he was caught up with work.

It had to be something personal.

Briony felt a pang of suspicion, but decided not to press him further.

"All right, let's eat," she said, taking the hands of her two children and leading them to the dining table.

Carol watched the kids and couldn't shake her unease.

She was certain she'd heard a child calling "Daddy" during the phone call earlier.

Carol's thoughts immediately turned to Irwin Wentworth.

On a night meant for family, why would Mr. Wentworth not be here with his children? Was he spending time with Irwin again?

If that was the case, he was making a terrible mistake.

But it was only Carol's suspicion.

She didn't dare bring it up to Briony, afraid she might have misheard, and worried that stirring the pot would undo the fragile peace that had finally settled between the couple.

Carol sighed inwardly.

She could only hope she'd gotten it wrong.
