Regretting the wife 120

Briony froze at the sound of Irwin’s voice. She had just started to turn when she spotted the little boy barreling toward her

Before she could react, Irwin threw his arms wide and launched himself at her

He was fasttoo fast. Briony instinctively pressed a hand to her stomach and reached out to stop him, but James was quicker

James stepped in, pulling Briony aside and planting his large hand squarely on Irwin’s forehead, stopping him in his tracks

Irwin glared up at James, indignant and thwarted. Let me go! I want my mom!” 

Why are you everywhere I turn?James scowled, voice dripping with exasperation. Are you some kind of shapeshifter, kid? Did you forget what you said yesterday? Is there something wrong with your head? Go back to your mom, Rosita, and get that sorted out.” 

You big jerk! I’m not even looking for you, so let me go!Irwin flailed his arms in protest, but he was so small that he couldn’t even reach James, let alone land a hit

Briony caught sight of Rosita rising from her seat a short distance away. She looked from Rosita back to Irwin. Irwin, go back to your mother,Briony said gently

The question caught Briony off guard. She hesitated, then replied, Thank you for asking. I’m feeling much better, so you don’t need to worry. Go on now.” 

But I miss you, Mom!Irwin’s voice cracked, and suddenly the tears spilled over. Are you still mad at me? I’m sorry! You haven’t hugged me in so long. Please don’t be angry, okay? I was wrongI’m really, really sorry. Will you forgive me?” 

His outburst drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant. All eyes turned on Briony, their stares shifting from curiosity to outrage and silent condemnation

Across the room, Rosita stood by her table, watching the scene unfold
