Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 690

Briony stared at the man before her, and tears spilled down her cheeks.

The moment she started crying, Stewart was completely thrown off balance.

“Bryn, please—don’t cry, I…”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Briony looked at him, her voice trembling. “Stewart, this is my life. I don’t need you to save me like this.”

A sharp pain twisted in Stewart’s chest.

“Bryn, the only thing that matters is that you’re alive.”

He reached out, wanting to wipe away her tears, but Briony stepped back and stood up, just out of reach.

She brushed the tears from her face, her voice icy. “You traded ten years of marriage to save my life, Stewart. Do you really think that makes you some kind of hero?”

Stewart’s breath caught. “I didn’t think about any of that. In that moment, all I wanted was for you to survive. Bryn, everything else pales in comparison to you being alive…”

Briony stared at him, eyes shining with tears.

Suddenly, she let out a brittle laugh and nodded. “You’re right. Compared to being alive, nothing else matters.”

“Bryn, don’t overthink this. You have to live. Our kids need their mother.”

Stewart swallowed hard. “Don’t pay any attention to what Xenia Cooper says. The deal was between me and her—it has nothing to do with you. I didn’t tell you beforehand, because this was my choice. Even now, if Xenia Cooper is coming after you, it’s because of me. If you want to call me selfish, fine—maybe I am. I just couldn’t stand the thought of our kids growing up without their mom.”

Briony’s lashes trembled as she gazed at him, silent tears streaming down her face.

He used the children as an excuse, never once mentioning how he felt about her.

But Briony couldn’t play dumb. After everything they’d been through, if she still doubted Stewart’s feelings for her, she’d be lying to herself.

Yet she couldn’t bear the weight of that love.
