Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 256

Rosita’s expression turned icy in an instant.

“Where’s Irwin?”

“Irwin and Mr. Wentworth went to Silveridge these past couple of days.”

Rosita frowned. “What are they doing in Silveridge?”

“They went to visit Ms. Kensington. Irwin told me Ms. Kensington is staying in Silveridge for her pregnancy, and Mr. Wentworth made time to take Irwin to see her.”

“What did you just say?!” Rosita’s expression changed sharply. “Are you saying Stewart knows about Briony’s pregnancy?!”

Jeannie froze, realizing the gravity of what she’d just blurted out when she saw the color drain from Rosita’s face. Suddenly, she clapped a hand over her mouth.

Oh no, oh no!

She’d definitely said too much.

“I’m so sorry, Ms. Lockwood,” Jeannie stammered, bowing her head. She knew she’d messed up.

Rosita stared at her, a chill flickering in her eyes—but in the next second, she forced a gentle smile.

“You don’t need to apologize. Ms. Kensington’s pregnancy is a blessing; she’ll make a wonderful mother, unlike me…”

Rosita’s eyes reddened, and her voice caught in her throat. “Five years ago, I had a difficult birth with Irwin. It left me with serious health issues. Stewart was heartbroken, and he didn’t want my career to suffer because of motherhood. That’s why he turned to Ms. Kensington.”

Jeannie’s eyes widened in shock. “So, that means… Mr. Wentworth and you are…”

“Stewart and I have never truly separated.”

“What?!”

Jeannie’s jaw dropped.

Five years—never apart?

Then what about Briony and Stewart’s five-year marriage? What did that make it?

Rosita continued, “Back then, Stewart and Ms. Kensington had a secret marriage just so they could co-parent Irwin. It was more of a mutual arrangement. Ms. Kensington’s mother was facing a manslaughter charge—possibly even the death penalty. Stewart personally took on her case as her defense attorney. In return, Ms. Kensington agreed to the secret marriage, and together they raised Irwin as husband and wife, at least on paper.”

Jeannie was utterly overwhelmed.

This was too much to process.

If Briony and Stewart’s secret marriage was just a business deal, then… what about the baby Briony was carrying now?!

Was Stewart really playing both sides?

Jeannie nervously twisted her fingers. “Ms. Kensington has taken really good care of Irwin.”

“I admit, she’s been wonderful with him, and I’m grateful for that. In this whole situation, Stewart and I owe her a lot.”

Rosita lifted her head. Her eyes, tinged red, glistened with tears. “Ms. Radcliffe, since you’re now responsible for Irwin’s care, I wanted you to know the truth. Stewart’s always kept our true relationship secret to protect me and Irwin, so I’d appreciate it if you could help us keep it that way.”
