Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 187

“What’s that supposed to mean, Stewart?”

Stella tossed the wedding dress aside in exasperation. “Seriously, is he out of his mind? Don’t tell me he dragged you all the way out here just to throw you a wedding!”

Briony stared at the dress, her brows knitted tight.

“He’s not trying to throw me a wedding.”

“Huh?” Stella planted her hands on her hips. “So if it’s not a wedding, is he giving you a wedding dress as a parting gift? Does he really think he’s some kind of heartthrob? Honestly, who makes such a production out of a divorce? I can’t with this guy.”

Briony stayed silent, her expression growing more somber.

“I just don’t get Stewart. If he really wanted to give you something as a divorce present, why not jewelry, or a car, or even a house? But a wedding dress? Has he forgotten you two never even had a real wedding? He must be doing this to mess with you.”

Stella sat down beside Briony, studying her face with concern.

Seeing Briony’s tense expression and wordless silence, she couldn’t help but worry. “Bryn, are you okay? If you’re angry, just say it! Keeping it bottled up will eat you alive.”

“I’m fine.”

Briony turned to Stella and gave a faint, lopsided smile. “Don’t worry about me. I’m over Stewart, really. Whether he’s sending me a wedding dress or anything else, it’s all just part of the job now.”

“But… a wedding dress?” Stella still looked uneasy. “Honestly, I can’t figure Stewart out anymore. It’s like you need to be a mind reader to understand what he’s thinking.”

“I think I know what he’s after.”

Stella’s eyes widened. “Tell me!”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got it handled.” Briony patted Stella’s hand reassuringly. “But I need you to pick up a few things for me, and don’t let Stewart or Cedric Clarke find out.”

Stella nodded at once. “You got it.”
