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.
