Regretting the wife 172

Seeing what was happening, Irwin’s running slowed to a hesitant walk

if this had been before, his mom would have already rushed over to scoop him up in a big hug

Irwin’s heart twisted with resentment. Just as he suspectednow that there was a new baby, she didn’t love him anymore

A knot of anger and sadness formed in his chest. He hated the new baby. The new baby had stolen his mom away from him

But thankfully, Grandma had helped him come up with a plan

Remembering this, Irwin’s mood brightened in an instant

He hurried over to Briony, pasted on his sweetest smile, and chirped, Mom, I’m so happy! I finally get to go on a trip with you and Dad again!” 

Briony merely responded with a neutral Mm.” 

Stewart walked over and stood next to Irwin, his gaze resting on Briony’s impassive face

“Have you been waiting long?” 

No.Briony got to her feet and pulled up her suitcase. Let’s go board.” 

Without another glance at father or son, she turned and headed straight for the security checkpoint

Irwin watched her chilly retreating figure, feeling a little hurt. He tipped his head up to Stewart. Dad, is Mom still upset?” 

It’s alright.Stewart ruffled Irwin’s hair gently. I’ve prepared a surprise for her. She’ll feel better soon.” 

Really?Irwin’s eyes lit up. What kind of surprise?” 

Stewart’s lips curved in a small, secretive smile. That’s a secret.” 

Irwin stifled a giggle behind his hand. Violet’s dad surprises her mom too! Our teacher says that’s what romance between grownups is all about!” 

Stewart took his small hand, not answering, but a warm smile glimmered in his dark eyes

Father and son made their way toward security

Carl followed them to the checkpoint, helped load their suitcases onto the conveyor belt, and only left after watching them disappear through the gate

Stella 

Stella and James trailed after them

Stewart had arranged for Carl to book the tickets

He booked first class

Briony glanced at her boarding passher seat was right next to Stewart’s 

She didn’t want to sit beside him, so once they were onboard, she turned to Irwin. Irwin, why don’t you sit next to me?” 

Irwin’s face lit up with joy 

Stewart noticed and shot Briony a cool look

Briony was already seated, head down as she buckled her seatbelt

Irwin wriggled into the seat beside her, immediately digging into his small backpack. He pulled out a jewelry box

Chapter 172 

Mom, this is a present I bought for you!” 

He held the box out to her 

Briony glanced at it but made no move to take it

Thank you, but I don’t need any gifts,she replied, her voice flat

rwin’s smile froze 

He hadn’t expected her to turn him down without even a look

But Mom I picked it out just for youHis eyes pleaded with her. I bought it to thank you for making time to come on this trip with me.” 

Briony’s brow furrowed as she looked at Irwin’s hopeful little face. For a moment, she hesitated

Logic told her she shouldn’t accept another gift from Irwin. When this trip was over, their bond as mother and son would come to an end

If she took the gift, she’d only be giving Irwin false hope

It’s just a little gesture from him. You should accept it,Stewart said quietly from across the aisle

Briony looked up

Their eyes met, and she quickly turned away, exasperated

Stewart’s dark gaze stayed locked on her. This trip is about giving Irwin happy memories.” 

His words were a remindermaking Irwin happy was the whole point of this journey

Briony pressed her lips together, took a slow breath to steady herself, and finally reached out to accept the jewelry box
