Mom only loves the new baby in her belly now

Irwin’s eyes filled with resentment at the thought. He was determinednot to let Mom have that new baby

They had dinner just a block away from the hotel that evening

It was classic Cloudcrest City cuisine, and honestly, the food was pretty good

But Briony had little appetite. Even though she’d napped on the plane earlier, it was only seventhirty and already she felt drowsy again

She barely touched her meal, stifling several yawns during dimmer

Stewart finally noticed something was off

Tired?He set down his fork and poured her a glass of warm lemon water, pushing it gently across the table

Here, have some water

Briony just glanced at him, her expression unreadable, and didn’t take the glass

Stewart didn’t seem to mindhe simply left the cup in front of her

Irwin, on the other hand, had eaten his fill. Noticing Briony hadn’t touched her rice, he asked with concern, Mom, don’t you like the food?” 

Just a little jetlagged,Briony replied, not wanting Stewart to get suspicious, so she made up an excuse on the spot

Stewart gave her a long look when he heard that

On the way back, as they passed a pharmacy. Stewart told the driver to pull over

He went inside and emerged a few minutes later with a small paper bag of medicine

Back in the car, Stewart handed the bag to Briony

She glanced at it, then looked up at him

You said you weren’t feeling well, right?Stewart’s voice was low and even. This should help.” 

Briony almost refused, but then remembered her pregnancy. Keeping the medicine would help cover for it

So she took the bag and said quietly. Thank you,” 

A faint, ambiguous smile tugged at Stewart’s lips

Once they were back in the suite, Briony dutifully poured herself a glass of warm water and retreated to her 

room

She locked the door behind her, opened the medicine box, and promptly flushed a few pills down the toilet. The rest she left on the nightstand

That night, she sat out on the little balcony with Stella James, gazing at the city lights and chatting softly. Before ten, sleepiness overtook her, and she returned to her room and fell into bed

Much to her surprise, she slept soundly through the night

In the early morning, Briony was jolted awake by the sound of Irwin crying

She shot upright, instinctively darting out of her room and straight into the one next door

Inside, Irwin was sitting on the floor beside the bed, still wrapped in his blanket, hair a wild mess as he cried his heart out

It was obvioushe’d fallen out of bed

Briony hurried over and helped him up, checking him over carefully until she was sure he wasn’t hurt. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief

She glanced around the room, frowning. Where’s your dad?” 

Irwin flung himself at her, wrapping his arms around her neck. Mom, I landed on my butt. It hurts so much!” 

For a split second, as Irwin clung to her, Briony froze

Then, as her sleepy mind cleared, reality crashed back in

She almost forgotthis child wasn’t really hers anymore

Briony pressed her lips together, gently pried Irwin’s arms from her neck, and stood up. She asked again, Where’s your dad?” 

Irwin sniffled, rubbing his eyes with one fist. I don’t know…. 

Briony’s gaze swept the room and landed on a note by the nightstand

It was from Stewart

Rosita had a sudden health crisis. I had to go back. Please look after Irwin for now

Briony crumpled the note in her hand, letting out a sarcastic little laugh

Around noon, Stewart called her, Briony didn’t answer
