Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 281

Briony pressed her lips together, fingers tightening around her phone.

“Bryn, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Briony’s voice was cold. “Rosita won’t be riding high forever.”

“That Rosita really is something,” James muttered. “She had a kid with Stewart, then turned right around and had another with Garry! And the kicker? She doesn’t even look after either of them. Word is, Garry hired a whole team of nannies and specialists for their child. Rosita just gives birth and hands them off!”

James paused, then added, “With Garry protecting her now, she’s not going to be easy to deal with.”

Briony closed her eyes.

She could never forget—years ago, it was Rosita’s one reckless move that cost Briony her son’s life.

A debt like that had to be repaid.

“If Garry’s planning a fairytale wedding for her, then I’ll make sure she gets a wedding gift she’ll never forget.”

…

After ending the video call, Briony stepped out of the kitchen.

Little Nina had already finished breakfast.

“Mommy, I’m all done! You should eat too.”

Looking at her sweet, thoughtful daughter, Briony’s heart still ached. In just a few days, it would be Little Nina’s birthday—and also her brother’s memorial day.

Four years had passed, but the grief remained as sharp as ever.

…

After walking Little Nina to preschool, Briony returned home and received a call from Carney.

Over the years, Carney and Gwendolyn White had visited her occasionally, though not too often—they didn’t want to attract Stewart’s attention. Even so, they kept in touch regularly through calls and video chats.

Now Carney and Gwendolyn were planning to come stay for a few days: to celebrate Little Nina’s birthday and enjoy a little vacation.

The town was nestled among rolling hills and clear lakes, the air fresh and crisp—a perfect place for a relaxing getaway.

Briony was more than happy to have them over. After confirming their arrival date and chatting about work, she hung up.

At four o’clock sharp, Briony set out to pick up Little Nina from preschool.

Her daughter was a little social butterfly—Briony never had to worry about her making friends.

After picking her up, Briony took Little Nina to the town’s health clinic.
