Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 106

“Woof woof!” The golden retriever puppy barked eagerly in response.

James chimed in with a grin, “Honestly, I think ‘Woof Woof’ is kind of a cute name!”

The puppy turned to James and let out a whimper, sounding adorably aggrieved.

James’s eyes widened in surprise. “No way, did it just understand me?”

“Golden retrievers are really smart,” Briony replied, smiling. “I think he just doesn’t like your name. He probably prefers ‘Lucky’.”

“Woof woof!” the puppy barked again, clearly in agreement.

Watching the puppy respond to Briony’s every word, James shook his head in mock defeat. “Alright, I give up! You really are his chosen human.”

For the first time in days, Briony’s lifeless eyes brightened, just a little, as she looked at the puppy.

She was about to let the puppy out when a familiar voice suddenly echoed from outside—

“Mom!”

Briony froze in place.

The studio door had been left ajar, and Stewart walked in, Irwin close behind.

“Mom!” Irwin called out again, running toward her with a pet carrier clutched in his arms.

Briony stood up, her expression calm as she watched Irwin approach. He wore a knitted beanie, his cheeks rosy and lively—clearly, he was on the mend.

James got to his feet too, shoving a hand into his pocket and muttering under his breath, “Why is this kid here again?”

Stewart followed quietly, his sharp gaze narrowing slightly when he noticed James.

Irwin stopped in front of Briony, beaming with excitement as he lifted the carrier high. “Look, Mom! I brought you something!”
