Chapter 196 

That gentle, loving momshe was supposed to be his

Grownupsfeelings can get really complicated.Lauren gently ruffled Irwin’s hair, her voice full of sympathy. So, Irwin, do you want to see your mom Bryn?” 

I do! I really do!” 

Irwin’s eyes grew hot, and he swiped away his tears with his sleeve, choking out, But Dad told me on the plane that I shouldn’t bother Mom anymore. He said if I really, really want to see her, I have to ask him first, and only if he says yes, then I can go.” 

How about thiswhat if we justrun into her by accident?” 

By accident?Irwin’s eyes went wide. Grandma, do you have a plan?” 

Lauren stroked his cheek and gave a mysterious smile. “Of course I do. I’ve come up with something perfect, just for you.” 

Wow!Irwin’s sadness vanished in an instant. He threw his arms around Lauren, hugging her tight

Grandma, you’re amazing! You’re the best, and you’re always so good to me. I love you so 

much!” 

Lauren hugged him back, smoothing his soft hair, but behind her gentle eyes lurked a hidden 

malice

Briony didn’t get home from work until six that evening

As she stepped out of the elevator, she noticed the front door to the apartment across the hall was wide open, with movers bustling in and out

She glanced over, but didn’t pay much attention, and unlocked her own door to head inside

From the kitchen, Gina poked her head out, spatula in hand. “You’re back!” 

Yeah.” Briony slipped off her shoes at the entryway and wandered in. Looks like the neighbors across the hall are moving in?” 

Yep!Gina called back. They just bought the place, I thinksometime in the last couple days.” 

Briony set her bag on the table and leaned against the kitchen doorway. Have you met them yet?” 

Nope!Gina was busy stirfrying something and couldn’t leave the stove. I made you some chicken soupit’s in the slow cooker. Grab yourself a bowl, okay?” 

Thanks.” Briony stepped into the kitchen

Chapter 196 

The next morning, after breakfast, Briony grabbed her bag and changed her shoes. “Gina, I’m heading out!” 

Alright, have a good day!” 

Briony opened the front door, but as soon as she took a step outside, the strap of her purse snapped with a loud pop.” 

The bag tumbled to the floor

She froze in surprise

What happened?Gina came out to check and saw Briony holding her broken bag. She frowned, Did your bag break?” 

Yeah.” Briony closed the door behind her, slipped back into her house slippers, and headed to her room. “I’ll go grab another one.” 

Neither of them thought much of it

But as Briony returned with a different bag, a sudden loud crash echoed from the hallway outsidefollowed by a man’s cry of pain

What on earth was that?” 

Gina hurried to open the door and peek outside

A delivery guy was sprawled on the floor, wincing in pain

Gina stared, startled. Oh my goodness! Are you alright?” 

Ow, that hurtWhy is the floor out here so slippery?” 

Briony appeared in the doorway and glanced down at the man, then at the hallway floor. 

She frowned, about to step outside, but Gina stopped her

You’re pregnant, remember? Stay putI’ll check it out.” 

Briony nodded

Careful not to slip herself, Gina stepped closer, crouched down, and ran her hand over the floor beside the delivery guy

It came away covered in suds

For heaven’s sake! Who would spill soapy water all over the hallway? Someone could really get 

hurt!” 

Briony felt a jolt of unease at Gina’s words
