Regretting the wife 334

Chapter 334 

Briony was suddenly gripped by a sense of unease

Keep an eye on Little Nina. I’ll go check on something,she said

Alright,” came the reply

As Briony stepped out of Little Nina’s room, she saw Jeannie emerging from the master bedroom across the hall

Ms. Radcliffe, where’s my suitcase?Briony asked

Jeannie smiled. I put it in the walkin closet in the master bedroom.” 

Who told you to put it there?Briony’s tone turned frosty. I’m not staying in the master.” 

You’re not?Jeannie looked genuinely surprised. But you and Mr. Wentworth are married, aren’t you? I just thought-” 

Briony couldn’t be bothered to explain. She walked straight into the master bedroom

She found her suitcase in the closet, then dragged it out. Just as she reached the doorway, she nearly collided with Stewart

Stewart glanced down at the suitcase in her hand. Planning to move next door?” 

I’ve already compromised by coming back. Don’t push your luck,Briony said, her voice cool

Stewart’s eyes narrowed. You really insist on this?” 

This is my boundary,she replied firmly

He arched a dark eyebrow, then stepped aside to let her pass

Briony wheeled her suitcase directly into the adjoining nursery

The door shut behind her with a decisive thud

Jeannie hovered nervously by Stewart. I’m so sorry, Mr. Wentworth. I didn’t realize you and your wife hadn’t fully reconciled. I didn’t mean to make things awkward!” 

Stewart shot her a brief look. You’re Irwin’s nanny. In the future, let the housekeeping staff handle these matters.” 

Jeannie nodded quickly. Understood.” 

Dinner time

In the dining room, Irwin and Jeannie sat side by side

Stewart took his seat at the head of the table

Briony settled Little Nina into her high chair, carefully dividing up her food with a childfriendly fork and spoon

Little Nina was hungry, and she ate with remarkable focustiny hands gripping her utensils, taking one bite after another, so adorably serious that anyone watching couldn’t help but smile. The maids standing by exchanged knowing, affectionate grins

Watching her, Jeannie couldn’t help but gush, Ma’am, your little girl looks so much like you. She’s absolutely precious! If I had a baby like this, I’d smile in my sleep every night.” 

Briony only gave a faint, polite smile in return

Though she’d spent a few days around Jeannie four years ago, it had been a fleeting acquaintance. They were hardly close

Now, with Jeannie acting so warm and familiar, Briony actually found it a little uncomfortable

Crystal, Little Nina’s fulltime nanny, shot Jeannie a look, shrugged, and quietly returned to her meal

Since Jeannie, as Irwin’s nanny, was allowed at the table, Crystal was entitled to eat with the family as well

After dinner, Briony asked Crystal to take Little Nina for a walk in the garden to help her digest

Irwin had homework to do, and Jeannie accompanied him to his room

The spacious house soon fell much quieter

Briony was about to return to her room to make a call when Stewart’s voice stopped her

Come to the study. I need to talk to you.” 

– 

Upstairs, in the study

Stewart picked up a folder from the desk and handed it to Briony

She took it. What’s this?” 

My shares for Little Nina,” Stewart replied

Briony blinked in surprise

She opened the folder. Inside was a document granting Little Nina a five percent stake in The Wentworth Group

She didn’t refuse

I’ll hold onto these for her. If you’re worried, I can draft a statement,Briony said

That won’t be necessary.Stewart met her eyes. Irwin doesn’t have any shares in the group

yet. Little Nina is the first Wentworth child to own a stake.” 

Briony caught the implication

Stewart, if you have something to say, just say it.” 

He looked at her, voice low. I’ll give you this five percentfor Little Ninaif you’ll treat Irwin a little better. Is that fair?”
