Regretting the wife 301

Chapter 301 

Southern Vale Airport

A private yacht was moored at the dock

The captain warned that the sea was rough today, so they’d be moving slowlyit would take around four hours to reach Sapphire Shores

Briony Kensington’s head throbbed dully. As soon as she boarded the yacht, she found a quiet room and went straight to bed

Stewart Wentworth, knowing she was unwell, asked one of the stewardesses to bring Briony some motion sickness pills

Briony didn’t protest. She swallowed the pills and collapsed onto the bed

The wind was fierce, and the yacht rocked and pitched as it cut across the waves

Briony hadn’t slept well last night, and lying down didn’t do much to ease her discomfort

Eventually, the medicine began to work; she drifted in and out of a restless sleep

When she finally woke, the boat was tossing even more violently than before

She pushed back the covers and sat up, checking the timeonly two hours had passed

Frustration washed over her. Every minute felt like an eternity

Just then, someone knocked on the door

Briony slipped on her shoes and went to answer it

Stewart stood outside, his gaze dark and steady. Still feeling sick?” 

Briony didn’t bother replying

Stewart seemed used to her cold shoulder. It’ll be another two hours before we dock. You haven’t eaten since this morningI asked them to prepare lunch for you. Come eat something.No,” she replied coolly. I just want to rest. Let me know when we arrive.” 

With that, she shut the door in his face

Stewart stared at the closed door, lips pressed into a thin line

After a moment, he turned and walked away

Briony refused to eatnot just to avoid Stewart, but because the seasickness had killed her appetite. She could barely stand the thought of food

The next two hours crawled by in a haze of nausea and exhaustion

At last, the yacht reached the shore

Briony hurried off the boat, hand clasped over her mouth, and made it to a nearby trash can before vomiting

Stewart approached, unscrewing the cap of a bottle of water and handing it to her

She took it gratefully and rinsed out her mouth

The nausea that had been churning in her stomach finally began to subside

Stewart studied her. Are you sure you’re okay? If you need to rest, we can find a guesthouse nearby and wait until you feel better-” 

I’m fine,” Briony cut him off, her voice steady. Let’s go.” 

He gave her a brief nod. Alright.” 

It was another twenty kilometers by car from the dock to where Julia Hudson was staying

Carl Shaw had rented a Volkswagen at the local agency

The island roads weren’t greatten kilometers out from the port, the pavement narrowed, riddled with potholes and ruts

Briony watched the scenery grow more and more primitive, her worry deepening with every passing mile

Soon, they passed through a thicket of trees and arrived at a small village called Ivywood

The village roads were even narrower and more winding. It was impossible to take the car any 

further

Carl parked at the edge of the village

The three of them got out, their shoes sinking into the muddy, rainsoaked lane as they walked 

towards the center

All the houses here were singlestory stone cottages. Every yard had a vegetable patch, and most families kept chickens or duckspungent farm smells drifted on the air

With each step, Briony’s expression grew more tense

Had her mother really lived in such a remote, impoverished place for the last four years

How much farther?Briony asked

Carl, leading the way, glanced back. Almost there. It’s just ahead.” 

Briony looked up

There was only a single stone cottage in sight, not very large

Beside it stood a cowshed

This is the mayor’s house,Carl said with a smile. Only the mayor keeps cows in this villagehis cowshed is the best landmark you’ll find!” 

Briony’s heart pounded

Was her mother inside? Was she finally about to see her

They stopped in front of the mayor’s gate

Carl knocked on the wooden fence

The door swung open to reveal Judd, the search team’s leader

When Judd saw Stewart, he nodded respectfully and stepped aside. Come in.” 

Stewart glanced at Briony. Let’s go.” 

Briony clenched her hand at her side and followed him in

The yard was large, with a sprawling vegetable garden and a fenced area for poultry

The air was thick with the tang of livestock and earth

Stewart frowned slightly and turned to Judd. Where’s the mayor?” 

Judd shifted uneasily. He’s over by the cowshed.”
