Regretting the wife 186

Chapter 186 

She reached up and brushed it aside with her fingertips. Amid the sound of crashing waves, she heard the man’s low voice: Everything will be delivered to your room tonight. You’ll understand then.” 

At his words, Briony asked no further questions. She simply turned and walked straight toward the parked cars across the lot

Stewart glanced back at her

The woman’s figure was slender, her long hair whipped into disarray by the sea breeze, the hem of her dress fluttering around her legs

He turned away in silence

Back at the hotel, Stewart took a call and then drove off again

Cedric Clarke didn’t go with him. Instead, he made his way to Stella and Briony’s room and 

knocked on the door

Stella answered. Dr. Clarke, is something wrong?” 

How’s Ms. Kensington feeling? Would you like me to take a look at her?” 

Stella frowned. “You’re a surgeon. Internal medicine isn’t your specialty, is it?” 

Cedric replied, My grandfather practiced traditional medicine. I picked up a few things from him as a kidI could check her pulse, if Ms. Kensington would like.” 

Check her pulse? Absolutely not

Stella cut him off coldly. “I know Bryn’s condition best. There’s no need to trouble you.” 

With that, she shut the door in his face

Outside, Cedric stared at the closed door, brow slightly furrowed

Was Stellaoverreacting a little

He rubbed his chin, lost in thought

It was barely three in the afternoon, but Briony was exhausted. She lay down and quickly drifted off again

Once more, she dreamed of rivers of blood pooling beneath her, jolting her awake in terror

The room was dim except for the small nightlight beside her bed

Hearing her stir, Stella, who’d been sprawled on the other bed playing games on her phone, set it

aside. Awake?” 

Yeah.” Briony wiped her foreheadher skin was slick with cold sweat

Stella turned on the overhead light

The room filled with a warm glow

Briony sat up just as her phone buzzed on the nightstand

A message had come in

She opened it and saw several wedding photos

Of Stewart and Rosita

Ο 

What are you looking at?Stella noticed Briony staring at her screen, leaned over for a peek, and immediately recoiled. “Ugh, my eyes! What garbage! Delete that, will you? Bad for the baby!” 

Briony: ” 

Stella snatched the phone and deleted the photos on the spot

That must’ve been Rosita! What a piece of work. I just saw her Facebook post, toonine photos with some sickening caption about cherishing the quiet moments, waiting for the flowers to bloom.’ And she made sure the hospital room was in the backgroundthen turned off comments so no one could call her out!” 

And, of course, a bunch of clueless fans started a thread about how Rosita must be in the hospital for prenatal care. Wishing her and Stewart a happy, healthy baby! Idiots. If only they knew their socalled national sweetheart was already pregnant out of wedlock five years ago!” 

Briony, however, didn’t care much about Stewart and Rosita’s drama

Take it easy,” she said, noticing a new pimple on Stella’s forehead. “You’ve been worrying about me so much, you’re breaking out.” 

Huh?Stella touched her forehead, then sighed. “I’m almost twentyseven and still haven’t even had a boyfriend. No wonder I’m stressed!” 

Briony: ” 

If Mrs. Joyner hears you, you’ll get an earful.” 

Stella shrugged. “Just speaking the truth! Honestly, after watching everything you’ve been through, marriage seems way overrated…” 

Knock, knock- 

A knock at the door cut her off

Who is it?Stella got up to check the peephole

It was Cedric Clarke again

Chapter 186 

She opened the door and leaned against the frame. Heading downstairs for dinner?” 

Cedric hesitated. Not yet.” 

He gestured behind him. She’s here to deliver something for Ms. Kensington.” 

A young woman wheeled an enormous suitcasealmost eighty inches tallup to the door and said politely, This is from Mr. Wentworth.” 

What is it?Stella asked, taking the suitcase

Cedric knew, but didn’t dare say. You’ll see when you open it.Then he made a quick getaway

Stella watched him bolt and shook her head. “What’s with him? You’d think he was delivering a bomb or something.” 

Briony eyed the suitcase. “Let’s open it.” 

Alright.” 

Stella crouched down, unzipped the case, and flipped it open. She froze in shock

Inside, packed neatly, was a white wedding dress

Stella stared in disbelief, then carefully lifted it out and shook it open- 

The dress unfurled in all its glory right in front of Briony

Briony stiffened

Stewart had actuallysent her a wedding gown
