Regretting the wife 164

The car turned into Southcreek Manor

Briony and Stella stepped out, heading straight for the front door. Stella pressed the doorbell

Carl answered. Ms. Kensington, Dr. Joynerplease come in.” 

Once inside, Carl turned to Briony. Ms. Kensington, Mr. Wentworth is waiting for you in his study upstairs.” 

It was clear Stewart wanted to speak to Briony alone

וד 

Til go with you?Stella offered, a flicker of concern in her eyes

Briony gave her a reassuring smile. Just wait for me here.With that, she turned and made her way upstairs

Stella watched her friend’s retreating figure until Briony disappeared from sight, then finally looked back at Carl

Is your boss, Attorney Wentworth, out of his mind or something?” 

Carl blinked, Excuse me?” 

Oh, definitely! You have my sympathy.Stella sighed and flopped onto the sofa. Working for a lunatic must be exhausting, huh?” 

Carl was left speechless

Briony paused outside the study and knocked

Come in.Stewart’s low voice sounded from inside

She pressed her lips together, took a steadying breath, turned the handle, and pushed the door open

The study was brightly lit. Stewart stood by the floortoceiling window beside his desk, tall and imposing, his profile sharp and cool

He turned slightly at the sound, his gaze icy as it landed on her

When Briony lingered at the threshold, he raised a dark eyebrow. Afraid I might bite?” 

She frowned. Oddly enough, Stewart seemed to be in a decent mood tonight

Maybe it was her latest concessionher willingness to bend yet againthat gave this man his familiar sense 

of control

Briony’s voice was cold. There’s no one else here. Just say what you want.” 

Stewart just stared at her, his dark eyes unblinking

They held each other’s gaze for a long moment, neither willing to back down. Stewart, is it only when I give in, over and over, that you’re satisfied?” 

He smirked. Is that really how you see me now?” 

Briony’s eyes were icy, and she didn’t answer. Her silence said enough

Stewart walked behind the desk and picked up a folder. Take a look at this.” 

She glanced at the folder in his hand. What is it?” 

Come get it and see for yourself.” 

Whatever the reason, Stewart clearly wanted her to step inside

Chapter 164 

Briony’s patience was wearing thin, but since she was already here, she saw no point in making a scene. She strode toward him 

Stewart watched her approach, a storm of emotion flickering in his dark eyes

She stopped a low feet away, reached out, and snatched the folder from his hand

But when she saw the cover, Briony froze

Cloudcrest City A Visitor’s Guide 

Wait Wasn’t this the guide she’d put together last year

Twin’s been asking about the trip, Stewart said quietly. So my first condition is that you stick to the original plantake Irwin on vacation, just as you always have.“ 

Briony stared at the guide, her feelings tangled

Ever since she and Stewart married in secret, every spring they’d take Irwin on a trip. She always planned everything down to the last detail, and Stewart would clear his schedule for it

She’d finished this year’s itinerary back in October

But life had other plans

Back then, she never imagined that in just a few short months, everything between her, Stewart, and his son would unravel so completely

Briony studied the folder, a flicker of confusion in her eyes

She could’ve sworn she’d thrown it away when she moved out
