Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 712

Briony was completely thrown off.

Beatrice’s boldness was honestly overwhelming—Briony could barely process it and could only turn helplessly to Maynard.

Maynard rubbed his brow, trying to keep his composure as he addressed Beatrice. “Grandma, please, let’s not rush. Things between us are a little… complicated. If you push like this, it’ll put Bryn in an impossible position.”

“Complicated?” Beatrice gave Maynard a sharp look. “Don’t tell me… You two have already eloped and gotten married behind our backs?”

Maynard fell silent.

So did Briony.

Stewart, standing nearby, finally lost his patience.

“Bryn.” He stepped forward, ignoring everyone else in the room, his gaze fixed on Briony, eyes dark and intent. “Can we talk? Just the two of us.”

Briony looked at him coolly. “Mr. Wentworth, I’m afraid I don’t have time to entertain you right now.”

Beatrice and Afra exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued.

Truthfully, before coming here, the Maynard family had already done their homework on Briony’s background.

They knew about her past with Stewart. Even though their marriage had never been made public, it wasn’t difficult for the Maynards to dig up the truth.

Briony wasn’t marrying for the first time, and she and Stewart had two children together. The Maynards were a little disappointed, sure, but they weren’t a family bound by old-fashioned rules; as long as the person was good-hearted, a second marriage wasn’t a dealbreaker.

And as for the children? The Maynards had plenty of resources—they certainly didn’t mind welcoming two more kids into the family.

Besides, those kids’ biological father was Stewart—head of the Northborough Bar Association, now also the vice president of Neonova Corporation, and son-in-law to the powerful Cooper family. With his status, it wasn’t as if his children would ever be neglected.

The Maynards had already agreed: as long as the marriage went through and Lori could be officially recognized as family, they wouldn’t mind at all if Briony brought her two children into the Maynard household.
