Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 701

Maynard knocked on the door. “Bryn, dinner’s ready.”

Briony sat up and called toward the door, “Coming!”

Turning back to her two children on the video call, she smiled. “Mommy’s going to have dinner now. We’ll chat more later, okay?”

On the other end, Little Nina piped up, “Mommy, I think I just heard Mr. Maynard’s voice. Are you with him?”

“Yes, sweetheart, Mommy is working with Mr. Maynard.”

“Oh,” Little Nina’s eyes flickered with curiosity. “Mommy, Daddy called earlier. He said he’s coming to see us tonight.”

Briony paused, surprised. “He’s coming to see you? I thought he was picking you up to take you back to Southcreek Manor?”

“Mommy,” Little Nina pouted, “if Daddy wants to stay over tonight, is that okay with you?”

So Briony said, “If Mommy isn’t home, you kids can decide.”

“Yay! Thanks, Mommy! Please be careful out there with Mr. Maynard. Little Nina loves you~”

On the other end, little Mario squeezed in, “Mommy, I love you too!”

Briony’s eyes crinkled with a smile as she looked at her two children. “Mommy loves you both.”

At seven o’clock, a black Bentley rolled up the driveway of Pearbrook Mansion.

Stewart stepped out of the car, carrying bags filled with toys and snacks for the kids—and tucked among them, a matcha cake, Briony’s favorite.
