Regretting the wife 140

Chapter 140 

Stewart released his grip, straightened his suit jacket, and fixed Garry with a cold, steely gaze

Don’t bother trying to provoke me. Whether it’s Briony or Rosita and her son, they’re none of your business. If you’re smart, you’ll get yourself back to Westenmar and stay out of this. Otherwise, don’t blame me for forgetting our old friendship.” 

With that, Stewart turned his attention away, pivoted, and strode off

Garry watched Stewart’s retreating figure, a slow grin spreading across his face as if he’d just stumbled on something exciting. Stewart, those who break their word are bound to pay for it. Is your reckoning finally coming?” 

Dinner was over

The group 

filed out of the restaurant together

Silveridge, perched on the coast, rarely saw snow in winter, but the wind off the sea could cut right through you. By nightfall, the icy gusts whipped so sharply that it stung your skin

Stepping outside, Briony squinted against the cold, half her face disappearing into her raised 

collar

Carney had been drinking, so he couldn’t drive. James took his keys and went to fetch the car

goodbyes with Carney and Professor Thornton, Garry turned last to Briony, who stood quietly at Carney’s side. Ms. Kensington, would you mind sharing your contact information?” 

Meanwhile, Garry’s driver pulled up. After exchanging 

A few steps away, Stewart caught the remark. His dark eyes narrowed, glancing sideways at the pair

Under the city’s neon lights, Briony’s face was mostly hidden in her coat, only her eyes visible. The glow of the city danced in them, like shattered light flickering in her gaze

But now, those eyes looked at Garry, cool and distant. Sorry, that’s not possible.” 

Stewart, hearing this, arched an eyebrow and shot Garry a look

Garry didn’t seem surprised. He calmly withdrew his hand and flicked a brief, knowing glance in 

Stewart’s direction

Their eyes met. Stewart’s lips curled into a cold, brief smirk

My apologies, I was out of line,” Garry said smoothly, still smiling. Well then, Ms. Kensington, gentlemen, I’ll be on my way.” 

Briony looked down, making no reply

Carney and Professor Thornton were rosycheeked and a little tipsy, oblivious to the tension

They warmly bid Garry farewell

Once Garry had gone, Stewart and the other two lawyers, also having had a few drinks, had no choice but to call for a car service

The ride hadn’t arrived yet

Just then, James pulled up in Carney’s car

Briony stepped forward and opened the back door. Professor, the car’s here.” 

Carney and Professor Thornton said their goodbyes to Stewart and the others, then climbed into the car

Briony closed the door and turned to head for the front passenger side, but Stewart suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist

She frowned, ready to pull away, but he spoke first. I just wanted to tell youstay away from Garry. He’s trouble.” 

Briony shook off his hand, her eyes cold. You’re the one who needs to keep his distance from 

me.” 

Without another word, she opened the car door and got in

She pulled on her seatbelt. Let’s go.” 

James glanced out the window at Stewart, who was still standing motionless on the curb, then pressed down on the accelerator

Stewart stood there, watching the car disappear down the avenue, his brow creasing as the taillights faded into the night. Only then did he turn away

Briony and James spent the next week in Silveridge, rarely leaving the restoration studio as they labored over the blueandwhite porcelain piece. Only on the first day did they venture out; after that, they were absorbed in their work

Garry stopped by twice more, but only to check on their progressnever pressing Briony for anything further

On the eighth day, the restoration was done

When Garry got the news and hurried to the museum, he was told Briony and James had already left for the airport

He just smiled, chatted a bit with Carney, and took his leave

Outside, Garry told his secretary to book a flight

His young, efficient assistant asked, Mr. Ferguson, the team in Rome has been waiting for you for three days. Are we flying there tonight?”

Let them waitGarry replied chewing on fre Elgar with a lazy grin. The little rabbit I’ve got my 

eye on just ran off I have to give chase don’t?
