Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 507

Little Nina pouted, casting Briony a look of exaggerated exasperation. “Do you really need to ask?”

Briony was caught off guard.

“Of course I’d vote for Dad!” Little Nina replied, utterly convinced. “Mr. Ellsworth might be handsome, but he’s just an uncle. If I wanted, I could have lots of handsome uncles in the future, but I only have one dad!”

Briony was momentarily speechless.

Little Nina looked up at her, eyes sparkling with mischief, her little voice clear and earnest.

“Mama, I know you and Dad argued and decided to live apart. But don’t worry—if it came down to a vote between you and Dad, I’d pick you without a second thought! But if it’s Dad versus anyone else, even Godfather versus Dad, I’d always choose Dad.”

James: “...”

Well, turns out the real clown here is me.

The video ended there. James put away his phone, shut his eyes, and let out a long, theatrical sigh. “Sweetheart, that hurts. I think you owe me some comfort.”

“Huh?” Little Nina glanced at James, blinking innocently. “Don’t be sad, Godfather. You’re still a step above Mr. Ellsworth. If it were between you and Mr. Ellsworth, I’d absolutely vote for you!”

James brightened instantly, feeling vindicated. He thought to himself, I knew all that pampering would pay off!

“Well then, Godfather feels much better now.” He beamed at her, giving her a big thumbs-up. “You’re absolutely right, Little Nina. I’m proud of you!”

Little Nina giggled. “Of course! I’m way too clever for questions like that to stump me.”

James ruffled her hair affectionately. “Just remember, this was your own choice. So if you grow up and change your mind, you can’t go blaming your mom, okay?”

“Why would I regret it?” Little Nina blinked. “If Dad hadn’t given me those shares, I wouldn’t even have the chance to vote! So of course I should vote for him!”

“Listen to that logic, that sharp thinking—she’s definitely Stewart’s daughter,” James said, glancing at Briony. “What do you think? Maybe she’ll grow up to be a lawyer, too?”

Briony gazed at her daughter, her eyes soft with affection.

Tonight’s conversation left her with the sense that her little girl had grown up a lot, all of a sudden.

They say daughters inherit their intelligence and temperament more from their fathers. Looking at Little Nina now, Briony had to admit—when it came to brains, her daughter really did take after Stewart.

She stroked Nina’s hair and said gently, “We’ll see what she’s interested in. Whatever Little Nina chooses, I’ll always support her.”
