Chapter 312 

Little Nina’s eyes darted around before finally landing on the figurine in Stewart’s hand. After a moment’s hesitation, she shook her head with surprising resolve

Even if you’re my dad, I can’t accept this gift.” 

Stewart was caught off guard, blinking in confusion

It took him a while to find his voice. “Why not?” 

Because if you take someone’s gift, you owe them a favor!Little Nina raised her hand with at dramatic flourish, shaking her head as she let out a tiny, exaggerated sigh, looking every bit the miniature grownup. You’re just trying to bribe me, and I’m not falling for it!” 

Stewart

Garry, who’d been watching from the sidelines, burst into laughter

James couldn’t help but smile too. He ruffled Little Nina’s hair and beamed with pride. That’s my girl! Keep that sharp mind of yours, sweetheartno smoothtalking guy will ever trick you!” 

*James.” Carney scolded him, “Don’t fill her head with nonsense. She’s only four!” 

James just shrugged. Better to teach her how the world works early. Otherwise, it’ll be too late once she’s older. Look at Bryn” 

He shot Stewart a glance full of mock disapproval and shook his head with a sigh. “What

mess

Carney: ” 

Garry lounged back on the sofa, his eyes nearly disappearing as he laughed

Little Mario, seeing his dad so cheerful for the first time, blinked his big, dark eyes and then broke into a goofy smile of his own

Hey!Little Nina cried out, pointing at Little Mario in delight. He’s smiling! Little Mario, you’re so cute when you smile!” 

In an instant, her attention shifted from Stewart to her little playmate

She left Stewart behind, grabbing Little Mario’s hand and pulling him over to the kidsplay area behind the sofa

Come on, Little Mario, give me another smile! If you do, I’ll give you this toy too, okay?” 

Little Mario: Okay!” 

Aw, you’re adorable when you smile! I wish you went to my preschoolyou’re way cuter than any of the boys there!” 

Little Mario: Cute!”

The grownups couldn’t help but overhear the exchange

It was clear Little Nina was encouraging Little Mario to talk more

With his daughter’s sweet, childish voice echoing in his ears, Stewart stared at the Elsa figurine in his hand, his eyes dark and unreadable

The local grocery store was just a short walk from home

Briony found herself growing tense at the thought of Stewart still being in the house

Gwendolyn White tried to reassure her. Don’t worry. James and your godfather are theredo you really think Stewart could just take off with Little Nina?” 

I’m not worried he’ll snatch her away. I’m worried about what he might say to her.” 

Your little girl is clever as can be. Trust me, Stewart doesn’t stand a chance.” 

Gwendolyn let out a gentle sigh. I only brought you out because I didn’t want you two arguing in 

front of Little Nina.” 

I know you mean well,Briony replied. It’s justcourt is in two days. Stewart showing up now

it’s obvious he’s after Little Nina.” 

Bryn, I know you want to break free from Stewart as soon as possible. But he’s still Little Nina’s biological father. Even if you get divorced, he has the right to see his child. That’s just the way it isand you need to accept it.” 

Briony pressed her lips together

She understood, of course

Even if she and Stewart divorced, if Little Nina wanted to have a relationship with her father, Briony couldn’t stop her

Blood ties run deep. They can’t be cut

It wasn’t that she couldn’t face the reality. It was that she was afraid

Afraid that Stewart would use Little Nina as leverage, dragging out the divorce… 

You knowGwendolyn saw right through her and lowered her voice. Are you in such a hurry to get divorced because you’re eager to meet someone new?” 

Briony was momentarily taken aback, then shook her head. No, that’s not it at all. I just want a clean break from Stewart, so I can raise Little Nina on my own, in peace.” 

Well, if you’re not rushing into a second marriage, then it’s simple!” 

Gwendolyn grinned. Of course, it’s best if the divorce goes through. But if it doesn’tso what? You can just live separately. And as long as you’re still married, Little Nina is still the 

Wentworth family’s little heiress! Think about iteven if Stewart is gone one day, she’ll inherit

his fortune fair and square.” 

Briony paused

I’m not saying you shouldn’t get divorced. But even with Mr. Chadwick helping you, if Stewart really digs in his heels, this could drag on for ages. Are you really going to let him keep you in limbo?” 

Briony stopped walking, her frown slowly easing

Gwendolyn, noticing the change, smiled with satisfaction. You get what I mean?” 

Yes!Briony looked at her, smiling for the first time in a while. Thank you, godmother. I know 

what I need to do now.” 

That’s all I wanted.Gwendolyn tucked Briony’s arm in hers, her voice warm. “We women need to find peace within ourselves. Inner strength and independence are our best armor.” 

Gwendolyn’s advice had calmed Briony’s nerves

When they got home, she stopped obsessing over whether Stewart had told their daughter the truth about his identity

She focused on Little Nina’s mood instead

Seeing her daughter playing and laughing without a care in the world, Briony finally relaxed and headed into the kitchen to help Gwendolyn prepare dinner

When the meal was ready, Gwendolyn called everyone to the table

The four men all had some wine with dinner

James, the lightweight of the group, rarely drank, so just one glass of whiskey had him tipsy and giggling. Gwendolyn and Briony had to help him upstairs to bed

By the time they came back down, Carney had also succumbed to the drinks

Gwendolyn scolded him for trying to keep up with the younger men, then insisted on staying with him while he slept it off

Briony helped carry Carney to bed as well

When she finally came downstairs again, only Stewart and Garry were left at the table

Little Nina and Little Mario were playing in the living room, Carol keeping an eye on them

Seeing Briony, Carol got up and walked over, dropping her voice to a whisper. My boss and that attorney of yours can really hold their liquor. If they keep at it, I’m afraid someone’s going to end up in the ER!” 

Briony glanced at the dining table

Stewart and Garry were sitting across from each other, both with flushed cheeks from the
