Regretting the wife 110

I didn’t mean it like that.Briony pressed her lips together, sighing softly as she stood up. I appreciate what you’re trying to do for me, but my mind’s made up.” 

James stood too, watching her closely. You’re really sure about this?” 

She nodded, her voice firm. I used to worry about how I’d hide the surgery from you, but now that you know, I just ask that you keep this to yourself.” 

Seeing her resolve, James dropped the argument

Don’t worryI won’t say a word.He hesitated, then asked, What time’s your surgery tomorrow?” 

Nine.” 

I’ll drive you to the hospital in the morning.” 

That’s not necessary.Briony didn’t want to trouble him. Stella’s already at the hospital. She’ll make sure everything’s set.” 

James shook his head. Before they left, our mentors insisted I look after you. If you want me to keep this secret, at least let me be there. I’ll only relax once I know you’re out of surgery and safe.” 

Briony opened her mouth to protest, but James cut her off. It’s settled. If you say no, I’ll call our mentors right now.” 

Briony: ” 

She sighed, realizing there was no point fighting it. She didn’t want the two elders worrying about her, so she let James have his way

The next morning, 8:10 AM

James’s Range Rover cruised steadily through the city streets toward the hospital

The car was quiet, the air heavy with unspoken tension

Every so often, James glanced at Briony in the passenger seat. Milo sat quietly by the window, gazing out at the passing scenery

At a red light, the Range Rover rolled to a gentle stop at an intersection

A giant digital billboard on the building ahead flashed with an advertisement featuring Rosita’s flawless, innocentlooking face

Unable to contain his curiosity, James blurted out, Did Stewart divorce you because of Rosita?” 

Briony snapped out of her thoughts, glanced at the billboard, then quickly looked away, her voice flat. Yeah.” 

I heard that kid yesterdayhe kept calling her Mom Rosita. Guess he’s already accepted her as a stepmom.” 

She’s not a stepmom.” 

James looked at her, confused. What?” 

Rosita’s Irwin’s biological mother.” 

James’s worldview shattered. Wait, what? Are you kidding me? So you and Stewart were married, but Irwin is Rosita’s son? That meansall this time, you were the stepmom?” 

They grew up together.Briony rubbed her temples, suddenly tired

There was nothing left to hide, so she laid it all out for James

Chapter 110 

He was silent for a good thirty seconds, jaw clenched, before finally muttering, What a bastard.” 

Stewart’s a real piece of work. No wonder he’s a big shot attorneyhe managed to get everything he wanted out of this marriage. And you? You spent five years raising someone else’s child, while your own-” 

He caught himself before finishing the thought, glancing at Briony

She looked as distant as ever. James sighed

I always thought that kid didn’t look like you, and he’s not exactly a charmer, either. Makes sense nowhe takes after Rosita. You should stay away from him from now on. With a mother like that, he’s bound to be trouble.” 

Briony’s lashes fluttered, and she murmured, Okay.” 

At the hospital, James parked in the underground garage

They took the elevator to the thirdfloor maternity ward

When the doors slid open, they stepped out together, walking side by side toward Stella’s office

They passed another exam room just as Jason turned around inside

He spotted Briony, and his impatient scowl faltered. Without a word, he abandoned his weepy girlfriend and hurried after them

Briony pushed open Stella’s office door and slipped inside, James following close behind

Jason was dumbfounded

Briony and Jamesat the maternity ward

What was going on

Were they living together now

Was Briony pregnant with James’s child?! 

Jason immediately whipped out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and found Stewart’s number…
