Regretting the wife 295

Chapter 295 

James pressed his lips together, his expression grave as he gave a heavy nod

Briony’s knife slipped from her hand and clattered onto the cutting board

CarefullJames rushed forward and pulled her out of harm’s way

The sudden commotion startled Gwendolyn White, who quickly turned off the stove and spun around to look at Briony 

Seeing Briony’s stricken face, Gwendolyn frowned. What’s wrong?” 

Briony’s complexion was ashen, her eyes rimmed red

Rosita had killed her son

And what had she just done

She had just held that child in her arms… 

Briony closed her eyes, trying to steady her emotions. Have Garry take the boy and leave, Right now.” 

She knew the child was innocent

But his mother was the one who had killed her son 

Gwendolyn steadied Briony and called out to James, Why are you standing there? Go, now!” 

James let out a weary sigh and walked out of the kitchennearly colliding with Garry in the hallway 

Garry was about to step inside when James stopped him with an outstretched arm. What are you doing?” 

James narrowed his eyes. Briony knows little Mario is your son with Rosita. She’ll never forgive Rosita. If you have any decency left, take your boy and leave. Now” 

Garry met his gaze, his expression unreadable. Mario is my son, but Rosita isn’t his biological mother” 

James snorted. Don’t try to fool us. You’ve been with Rosita for four years. The tabloids have been full of stories about her giving you a son. And now you expect us to believe this?” 

Garry’s tone didn’t waver. Rosita had complications when she delivered Irwin. She had to have a hysterectomy. She’s never been able to have more children.” 

James froze

Rosita can’t have children

Mario’s biological mother died in childbirth,” Garry said, glancing past James toward the kitchen. I married Rosita so Mario could have a real family.” 

Chapter 295 

He spoke loudly enough that Briony and Gwendolyn could hear everything from the kitchen

For a moment, both women stood in conflicted silence

Gwendolyn patted Briony’s hand. As long as he isn’t Rosita’s child.” 

Briony pressed her lips together, torn

She had little affection for Garry, but little Mario’s situation tugged at her heartstrings

As a mother herself, Briony just couldn’t bring herself to send them away

Besides, Garry and Carney were close. Out of respect for Carney, she felt it wasn’t her place to force them out

At dinner, Carney pulled out a bottle of whiskey and invited Garry to join him for a drink

Since Garry had a driver and Carney was insistent, he didn’t refuse

Little Nina and little Mario sat side by side in their booster seats

Briony divided up their food into childsized bowls and tied on their bibs, then left the rest to them

Little Nina had excellent table manners. Briony had been encouraging her to eat on her own since she was a year old, and by now, at age four, she was a pro

Little Mario, on the other hand, was more delicate; Carol had always fed him by hand

So when little Mario watched Little Nina spear a piece of beef with her fork and pop it into her mouth, he stared, wideeyed, a look of awe on his face

Little Nina ate with gusto. Her baby teeth were all healthy, and she chewed confidentlybite of food, bite of vegetables, another biteenjoying every morsel

Little Mario couldn’t take his eyes off her

Carol noticed and smiled gently at him. Look at how well Little Nina eats. Maybe you could try it yourself?” 

Little Mario frowned in concentration, glancing down at the fork in his hand

He was holding it awkwardly, unsure how to use it

Little Nina paused and leaned over to show him. Put your thumb here, your finger thereThat’s it! See? Now try picking up the beef, like this.She demonstrated, encouraging him every step of the way

With her patient guidance, little Mario managed to stab a piece of beef and bring it to his mouth

Little Nina set her fork down and clapped her hands. You did it, Mario! When I first learned to use a fork, it took me days to get it right. You’re a little geniusyou got it on your first try!” 

Little Mario blushed at the praise, his cheeks turning pink

He peeked shyly at Garry

Garry, a little tipsy from the whiskey, had watched the whole scene with pride. He set down his glass and ruffled his son’s hair. You’re doing great, Mario. I’m proud of you.” 

Little Mario beamed, the shyest of smiles tugging at his lips

Briony watched the exchange in silence, taking in every detail

The first thing little Mariò did after mastering the fork was to look for Garry’s reaction. It was obvious: Garry was the center of his world

Which meant Garry had given him all the love and security a child could want

It seemed Carol hadn’t liedGarry truly did care for his son

For some reason, realizing this eased something in Briony’s heart

She had only just met little Mario an hour ago, but she couldn’t help herselfshe kept watching him, unable to look away
