Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 172

Seeing what was happening, Irwin’s running slowed to a hesitant walk.

If this had been before, his mom would have already rushed over to scoop him up in a big hug!

Irwin’s heart twisted with resentment. Just as he suspected—now that there was a new baby, she didn’t love him anymore.

A knot of anger and sadness formed in his chest. He hated the new baby. The new baby had stolen his mom away from him!

But thankfully, Grandma had helped him come up with a plan!

Remembering this, Irwin’s mood brightened in an instant.

He hurried over to Briony, pasted on his sweetest smile, and chirped, “Mom, I’m so happy! I finally get to go on a trip with you and Dad again!”

Briony merely responded with a neutral “Mm.”

Stewart walked over and stood next to Irwin, his gaze resting on Briony’s impassive face.

“Have you been waiting long?”

“No.” Briony got to her feet and pulled up her suitcase. “Let’s go board.”

Without another glance at father or son, she turned and headed straight for the security checkpoint.

Irwin watched her chilly retreating figure, feeling a little hurt. He tipped his head up to Stewart. “Dad, is Mom still upset?”

“It’s alright.” Stewart ruffled Irwin’s hair gently. “I’ve prepared a surprise for her. She’ll feel better soon.”

“Really?” Irwin’s eyes lit up. “What kind of surprise?”

Stewart’s lips curved in a small, secretive smile. “That’s a secret.”

Irwin stifled a giggle behind his hand. “Violet’s dad surprises her mom too! Our teacher says that’s what romance between grown-ups is all about!”

Stewart took his small hand, not answering, but a warm smile glimmered in his dark eyes.

Father and son made their way toward security.

Carl followed them to the checkpoint, helped load their suitcases onto the conveyor belt, and only left after watching them disappear through the gate.

Stella and James trailed after them.

Stewart had arranged for Carl to book the tickets.
