Chapter 187 

What’s that supposed to mean, Stewart?” 

Stella tossed the wedding dress aside in exasperation. Seriously, is he out of his mind? Don’t tell me he dragged you all the way out here just to throw you a wedding!” 

Briony stared at the dress, her brows knitted tight

He’s not trying to throw me a wedding.” 

Huh?Stella planted her hands on her hips. So if it’s not a wedding, is he giving you a wedding dress as a parting gift? Does he really think he’s some kind of heartthrob? Honestly, who makes such a production out of a divorce? I can’t with this guy.” 

Briony stayed silent, her expression growing more somber

I just don’t get Stewart. If he really wanted to give you something as a divorce present, why not jewelry, or a car, or even a house? But a wedding dress? Has he forgotten you two never even had a real wedding? He must be doing this to mess with you.” 

Stella sat down beside Briony, studying her face with concern

Seeing Briony’s tense expression and wordless silence, she couldn’t help but worry. Bryn, are you okay? If you’re angry, just say it! Keeping it bottled up will eat you alive.” 

I’m fine.” 

Briony turned to Stella and gave a faint, lopsided smile. Don’t worry about me. I’m over Stewart, really. Whether he’s sending me a wedding dress or anything else, it’s all just part of the job 

now.” 

Buta wedding dress?Stella still looked uneasy. “Honestly, I can’t figure Stewart out anymore. It’s like you need to be a mind reader to understand what he’s thinking.” 

I think I know what he’s after.” 

Stella’s eyes widened. “Tell me!” 

Don’t worry, I’ve got it handled.” Briony patted Stella’s hand reassuringly. But I need you to pick up a few things for me, and don’t let Stewart or Cedric Clarke find out.” 

Stella nodded at once. You got it.” 

That night, the lights in Briony and Stella’s room stayed on until dawn

When the first rays of morning slipped through the curtains, they finally switched them off

Right on cue, Stewart’s call came in

Briony barely blinked, answering calmly

Put on the dress. Cedric Clarke will pick you up.” 

She didn’t bother replyingjust hung up and turned to Stella. Star, I need your help.” 

Of course.” 

An hour later, someone knocked at the door

Briony was already dressed, the ivory gown hugging her slender figure, the offshoulder neckline and mermaid cut showing off every graceful curve

Stella went to answer the door

Cedric Clarke stood outside, looking more than a little uncomfortable. Um, is everything ready?” 

Stella gave him a frosty nod, then turned to help Briony with her train

Aside from the dress, Briony hadn’t bothered to do her hair or put on a scrap of makeupher barefaced indifference couldn’t have been clearer

Still, Cedric figured just getting Briony into the gown was nothing short of a miracle

He cleared his throat. Ms. Kensington, I’m sorry you have to go through this.” 

Briony stopped and looked at him, her cool eyes unreadable. But at his apology, her pale lips curled with icy irony. So even Dr. Clarke knows I don’t deserve this.”
