Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 54

"You have nothing to worry about. You're Dr. Joyner's friend, and you're one of the few people Mr. Wentworth pays special attention to. I promise I'll keep an extra eye on things for you."

One of the few people Stewart ever goes out of his way for?

Briony couldn't help but find that ironic.

She didn't say anything, though—just thanked him again, then left the office.

Cedric Clarke stood in the doorway, watching Briony's retreating figure with a complicated look on his face.

After several interactions, he was pretty sure of one thing: Briony wasn't fazed by Stewart at all.

And yet, Stewart’s attitude towards her was...strange.

Something about their relationship just felt off.

Cedric pulled out his phone, scrolled to Stella’s contact, and dialed her number...

…

On the way back, Briony’s thoughts kept drifting.

She just couldn't figure Stewart out.

When she returned to her mother’s hospital room, the first thing she noticed was a fruit basket sitting on the table.

“Did someone stop by?” she asked.

“You’re just in time,” Julia said, beckoning her over. “Come here, Bryn.”

Briony sat down by her mother’s bedside.

“That fruit basket was delivered a little while ago by a young man—he said it was on Attorney Wentworth’s orders.”

Briony paused. “Did he say anything else?”

“No,” Julia replied. “Just told me to focus on getting better.”

Briony frowned.

What exactly was Stewart trying to do?

“Bryn, what does Attorney Wentworth mean by this? Isn’t he with Ms. Lockwood now? And you two are already getting divorced… This whole thing makes me nervous.”

“Don’t overthink it,” Briony reassured her. “Stewart probably just wants to be polite, since we’ve known each other for a while. That’s all.”
