Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 151

The moment the magazine came flying at her, Briony’s eyes widened in alarm. She sprang to her feet, one hand instinctively clutching her stomach.

With a loud smack, the magazine hit the floor right by her feet.

Briony frowned, shot a glance at the magazine on the carpet, then looked up at Irwin.

“Irwin, what on earth are you doing?”

Her voice trembled. She kept her hand protectively over her stomach, shaken by what had just happened. If she hadn’t reacted so quickly, that magazine would have struck her right in the belly.

Irwin’s gaze lingered on her tightly clasped hand. A surge of anxiety and jealousy twisted inside him.

Mom… is really having a baby.

“Irwin, I’m asking you a question!”

Snapped from his trance, Irwin finally met Briony’s eyes.

Her brows were drawn together in a scowl, and for the first time in his life, Irwin saw genuine anger blazing in her expression.

Mom had never looked at him this way before. Not once.

For the sake of this new baby, she was actually scolding him now…

Irwin’s nose stung. He bit his lip, trying hard to keep the tears in, his voice quivering as he tried to explain, “Mom, I saw a bug on your shirt. I was just trying to help get it off…”

A beat passed as Briony was taken aback.

A bug?

Where would a bug even come from in this office…?

Irwin hung his head, trembling with barely contained sobs. “I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

His small shoulders shook helplessly as he wept, looking so fragile and forlorn.

Briony pressed her lips together, suddenly unsure if she’d overreacted. After all, Irwin was only five… surely he wouldn’t try to hurt her on purpose. Besides, there was no way he could know about her pregnancy.

“Irwin.”
