Regretting the wife 218

Chapter 218 

Surely even someone as busy as you has time for a meal, right?Garry stood up, smoothing the front of his suit jacket. All I wanted was to invite you to dinner.” 

I’m sorry, but I don’t make a habit of dining with strangers.” Briony could tell he wasn’t here for anything important, and she had no interest in arguing. You should go. I have work to do.” 

With that, she turned and walked out of the lounge

Garry, however, didn’t leave

He sat back down on the sofa, picked up the magazine he’d been leafing through earlier, and idly flipped

page

It was barely three o’clock

Once Briony stepped into the restoration studio, she was fully absorbed in her work

Outside, rain drizzled steadily against the windows

Time always seemed to fly by when she was focused

On rainy days, dusk came sooner than expected

By five, the world beyond the windows was already shrouded in darkness

The city’s neon lights flickered on, painting streaks of color across the wet glass

A knock sounded at the doorHannah

Come in,” Briony called, setting her tools aside and glancing toward the entrance

Hannah slipped in, shutting the door behind her, her expression exasperated. So, um, Mr. Ferguson still hasn’t 

left.” 

Briony blinked in surprise

She checked the clock

Five o’clock

Three hours… 

He really has nothing better to do, does he

Briony pulled off her safety glasses and rubbed her brow. If your shift is over, don’t worry about him. Just head home.” 

Alright!Hannah grinned in relief. I’m clocking out then!” 

Drive safe. It’s wet out there,” Briony reminded her

I will! You too, Briony!” 

Briony just nodded

One by one, Hannah and the rest of the staff packed up and left for the evening

Briony had no desire to go out and face Garry, so she decided to put in a little overtime

She was deliberately avoiding him

And Garry, of course, knew it

By half past five, he finally emerged from the lounge and made his way to the studio door

He knocked

Briony heard it, but purposely ignored him, turning up the gentle background music to drown out any further interruptions

Garry picked up on the message. The corners of his mouth quirked upward as he listened to the music drifting through the door

It was obvious she was doing it on purpose

But instead of being annoyed, he just smiledhis interest only deepening

Briony worked straight through until sixthirty

She glanced outside

Through the frosted glass doors, she could see the studio was empty

She took off her safety goggles, tidied up her bench, slipped out of her work coat, and headed for the exit

The sprawling studio was quiet

A golden retriever pup, curled up in its bed, perked up as s oon as Briony appeared, tail wagging furiously

Briony walked straight to her office, shrugged into her coat, grabbed her bag and car keys, and headed out

The puppy trotted over to her. She crouched to give him a fond pat. I’m heading home now. See you tomorrow.The puppy whined softly, reluctant but obedient, watching as Briony walked away

She locked the main doors and turnedonly to jump when she saw Garry waiting in the hallway

He chuckled at her startled reaction, the cigar between his lips curling up in a grin. Am I really that scary?” 

Briony’s expression frosted over. Mr. Ferguson, this really isn’t funny.” 

Isn’t it?Garry stubbed out his cigar and tossed it in a nearby trash can. Personally, I think it’s pretty fun. I have a thing for chasing after cool, untouchable beauties like you, Ms. Kensington. It does wonders for a man’s ego.” 

Briony didn’t dignify that with a response

She headed to the elevator and pressed the button

When the doors slid open, Briony stepped inside. Garry followed her in

She ignored him, pressed the button for the parking level, and stood silently. With security cameras in the elevator, she wasn’t worried

So, you and Stewart were at city hall today?” 

Briony glanced up, meeting Garry’s eyes in the mirrored elevator wall

Were you following me, Mr. Ferguson?” 

Following is such a harsh word. Let’s just say I pay close attention to you, Ms. Kensington.” 

Briony frowned

She didn’t like dealing with Garry, but every time they’d met, she’d sensed the tension between him and Stewarta barely concealed hostility

She asked, What exactly is your relationship with Stewart?” 

We used to be comrades.” 

Briony’s eyes widened. Comrades?” 

Garry grinned. Looks like Stewart never told you what he was up to overseas those two years, huh? That’s

interesting.” 

Briony had no patience for his cryptic tone

The elevator dinged. As soon as the doors opened, she strode out

Garry called after her. Stewart’s not going to let you go that easily.” 

Briony paused, turning to face him. “What do you know?” 

His eyes sparkled with amusement. I know all Stewart’s secrets. Trust me, he’s selfish, possessive, and obsessed with control. If he doesn’t want to let you go, you’ll never escape that marriage.” 

He’s about to marry Rosita,” Briony shot back, frowning. No matter how powerful he is, he can’t commit bigamy!” 

Garry’s smile turned sly. You’re too naïve, Ms. Kensington. If he’s bold enough to plan a wedding with another woman while refusing to divorce you, that means he’s already worked out how to handle it.” 

Briony gripped her bag tighter. You’re not telling me this out of kindness. What do you want

Garry stepped closer, his tone low. You really are as sharp as I thought.” 

Briony took a step back

He stopped, the handsome lines of his face somehow radiating danger

I can help you get a divorce,” he said softly. And when it’s overmarry me.”
