Regretting the wife 258

Briony rested her hand on her belly, a gentle warmth blossoming in her heart

She didn’t hope for her child to be especially giftedjust healthy and safe. That would be enough

Stewart drove himself back to Southcreek Manor. After picking up Irwin, he headed straight for Lunar Heights 

Estate

Inside the car, Irwin sat in the backseat and asked, Dad, we’re just having dinner with Mom Rosita, right?” 

That’s right,Stewart replied

So I don’t have to sleep over there tonight, do I?” 

At this, Stewart glanced up, catching Irwin’s eyes in the rearview mirror. That’s up to you. If you want to stay the night, you can.” 

I don’t want to!Irwin pouted. Mom Rosita doesn’t know how to cook, and she never reads me bedtime stories. Plus, I always have nightmares when I sleep there.” 

Alright,Stewart said, I’ll bring you back to Southcreek Manor after dinner.” 

Irwin’s face instantly lit up. Thank you, Dad! You’re the best!” 

A faint smile tugged at Stewart’s lips

Ten minutes later, the sleek black Maybach pulled into the driveway at Lunar Heights Estate

Hearing the car, Rosita hurried out of the house

Irwin!” 

Irwin had just stepped out when he heard her call. His small frame stiffened instinctively

He couldn’t help but remember the last time Rosita had lost her temper with him

I want Dad,Irwin whispered, edging behind Stewart and clutching the back of his suit jacket with both hands. Dad, hold me.” 

Without hesitation, Stewart scooped Irwin up into his arms

Rosita paused, momentarily taken aback

Seeing her son so obviously hiding from her, her eyes filled with hurt. Irwin, sweetheart, it’s Mommy. What’s wrong?” 

Irwin clung to Stewart, burying his face in his father’s shoulder, refusing even to look at Rosita

That sight only deepened the bitterness in Rosita’s heart

IrwinTears slipped down Rosita’s cheeks, her slender frame trembling, as if she might collapse at any 

moment

Stewart spoke coolly, Last time, when you had your episode, it frightened him. Now he’s wary of you.” 

Rosita froze

Last timeWas that when she’d lost control at dinner, just because Irwin had complimented Briony? Had a single outburst made her son resent his own mother

She lowered her head, sobbing quietly, but a flicker of defiance and frustration flashed in her eyes

Stewart carried Irwin inside

Rosita wiped her tears and followed them in

Chapter 258 

The housekeeper was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen

Stewart settled on the living room sofa with Irwin still in his arms

Rosita brought out a box of Irwin’s old favorite toys. Irwin, Mommy didn’t mean to snap at you before. I was sick and couldn’t help it. Will you forgive me?” 

Irwin glanced at the toys in her hands, then slowly raised his head to look at her

Rosita met his gaze, her lips curving into a gentle, sweet smile

She was, after all, an awardwinning actressshe could effortlessly put on a face so beautiful and harmless it was hard not to believe her

Irwin blinked. Are you better now, Mommy?” 

I’ve been very wellbehaved lately,Rosita assured him. I’ve been working closely with Dr. Wallace, taking my medication every day, and I’m feeling much better. So you don’t need to be afraid of me anymore, okay?” 

Irwin looked up at Stewart, searching for reassurance

Stewart just ruffled his hair encouragingly, saying nothing
