Regretting the wife 206

Chapter 206 

Rosita!Lauren rushed to her daughter’s side, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and gently rubbing her back. I’m so sorry, sweetheart. I didn’t mean to upset you. I just lost my temper for a moment. Are you alright?” 

Rosita kept her head down, a flicker of disgust passing through her eyes

When she finally looked up, her eyes were rimmed with red, tears shimmering on her lashes. Mom, I’m sorry too. I never meant to say those things1 just panicked. I know it hurt you, butcough, cough” 

I know, honey. I’m not upset with you,” 

Rosita’s voice trembled as she wiped at her tears. I was desperate. Ms. Kensington was Irwin’s nanny for five years. Irwin relies on her for everything, and even Stewart seems to think she’s wonderful…” 

She broke down, sobbing into Lauren’s shoulder. Mom, ever since the accident, I can’t remember anything. I have no idea how to connect with Irwin. He loves treats, and I just wanted to make him happy. I didn’t realize his stomach was so sensitive. Stewart dotes on Irwinwhenever he’s sick, Stewart is more anxious than anyone. If Stewart found out I gave Irwin those snacks, he’d be so disappointed in me” 

Lauren listened, her heart softening. It made senseshe’d only tried to spoil her grandson a little, and things had gotten out of hand. After all, what grandmother didn’t make a few mistakes out of love? If Stewart scolded her, she could take it

But if he blamed Rosita, it was a different story

Stewart already had Briony on his mind. If he started thinking Rosita wasn’t as good with the child as Briony had been, his impression of Briony would only grow fonder

That simply wouldn’t do

Rosita, this was my fault. Thank goodness you reacted so quickly. If Stewart wants to blame someone, let him blame mebut he must never blame you. You’re his partner for life, Irwin’s mother. In his eyes, you have to be perfect.” 

Rosita flung her arms around Lauren, sobbing harder. Mom, thank you! I’m sorry I keep causing you trouble and making you take the fall for me. I just love Stewart so much. I really… I can’t live without him” 

Lauren hugged her close, her voice gentle and reassuring. Don’t worry, Stewart would never stay angry with you. Once the wedding is over and you’ve recovered from your surgery abroad, you, Stewart, and Irwin will have a wonderful life together. And who knows? In a few years, once you’re healthy again, maybe you’ll even have another baby!” 

Rosita discreetly wiped the tears from her eyes. But behind her calculating smile, there was not the slightest 

trace of real sorrow

The chapel on Brightspring Mountain

Before arriving, Briony had changed into a fresh creamcolored dress, with a soft oatmeal wool coat draped over her shoulders

Now she knelt before the altar, hands folded in earnest prayer

Father Benedict stood to the side, murmuring a quiet blessing

The air was thick with the calming scent of incense

Outside, a sudden spring shower began to fall

The sun still lingered above the horizon, but the steady rain brought with it a strange, melancholy dampness

After nearly half an hour, the prayers were finished

19:41 

Chapter 200 

Father Benedict assured her that God had heard her wishes and she could leave with a peaceful heart 

Briony rose slowly, her knees stiff from kneeling so long

She thanked the priest, then turned to make her way outside, her steps a little unsteady 

The rain was still falling, yet sunlight streamed through the mistan unusual, almost magical sight

A black Mercedes idled in the lot outside

The rear door opened and Carl stepped out, umbrella in hand, circling the car to hold the door 

Stewart emerged, his customtailored black suit accentuating his tall, commanding figure

Carl handed him the umbrella

With measured steps, Stewart strode toward Briony, umbrella in hand

Briony drew in a breath, her brow furrowing as she watched him approach. Her hand clenched at her side
