Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 505

Ferdinand gently patted the little girl’s head, his voice warm. “You’re welcome.”

Then he turned to Briony. “Could we talk for a moment?”

Before Briony could answer, James slid over with a grin.

“Come on, Mr. Ellsworth, that’s not fair. We’re all friends here—what could you possibly have to say to Bryn that we can’t hear?”

Ferdinand’s gaze settled on James. “Sorry. It’s a private matter.”

James glanced at Briony for confirmation.

She pressed her lips together, letting out a quiet sigh. Looking at James, she said, “Why don’t you take Little Nina upstairs? Crystal should be home soon, ask her to help Nina with a bath.”

The mood had clearly shifted.

James looked annoyed but knew better than to push at a time like this. He scooped up Little Nina and headed inside.

Only Cedric Clarke, Briony, and Ferdinand remained in the garden.

Briony’s eyes landed on Cedric.

Cedric’s hand froze mid-movement as he was pouring tea.

It was obvious he was the odd one out now.

Cedric stood. “I’ve boiled water for you. I’ll leave you to your conversation—I should get back to my wife and kids upstairs.”
