Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 177

He called Irwin again.

This time, Irwin picked up in front of Briony.

On the other end, Stewart explained that he needed to stay in Northborough for a couple of days. He asked Briony to take Irwin around Cloudcrest City for now—he’d already arranged all their activities in advance.

Briony replied simply, “We agreed on one week. Whether you show up or not isn’t my concern, but when the time’s up, I’m heading back. And just so we’re clear, you’re the one breaking the promise, not me. I’ve done my part.”

Stewart just said, “Alright.”

After that day, Stewart didn’t call again—and of course, he didn’t show up either.

Briony was left in peace. She teamed up with Stella and James, and the three of them enjoyed a carefree week exploring Cloudcrest City with Irwin in tow.

Stella and James were in high spirits, joking that if “all-expenses-paid trips with the kid” happened more often, they certainly wouldn’t complain.

The three adults were thoroughly pleased with their little vacation. The only one who felt hard done by was Irwin.

Every day, he tried to call his father, but Stewart never answered.

By the seventh day, Stewart still hadn’t appeared.

Irwin threw a few tantrums in the meantime, but with Stewart and Rosita both absent, there was no one around to indulge him.

After two days of getting nowhere with his fussing, Irwin finally settled down.

He stopped being picky at meals, stopped whining that he couldn’t walk any further, and when he saw something he wanted, he didn’t throw himself on the floor demanding someone buy it for him.

Seeing them, Briony had a suspicion about what was coming.

Stewart and Cedric started walking toward them.

As soon as Irwin saw his father, he ran over and hugged Stewart’s leg. “Dad! You broke your promise!”

Just then, Carl hurried over from behind, gently taking Irwin’s hand. “Young master, your mom’s sick and wants to see you very much. Let me take you to the hospital.”

The moment Irwin heard his mother was ill, he forgot about everything else and obediently left with Carl.

Stewart approached Briony, his expression grave. “Rosita’s health has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. She doesn’t have much time left. We’re leaving for Ghana today.”
