Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 70

But Cedric Clarke was right. Compared to asking Mack for help, Stewart did seem like the better choice.

Still, she had just burned all her bridges with him a few days ago. Now she’d have to swallow her pride and ask him for a favor...

So be it. If it meant saving her mother, what did her dignity matter?

…

Briony found out from Cedric that Stewart would be at a gathering tonight at the Moonlight Lounge.

She’d been here before, so it wasn’t hard to find Stewart’s private room this time.

She hesitated at the door for a moment, then took a breath and pushed it open—

“Rosita, can you believe Stewart actually went to your brother in person to help Julia? You know how your brother is—all business, no favoritism. Stewart had to donate a whole batch of top-of-the-line medical equipment, and now he owes your brother a big favor! Seriously, Stewart’s going all out for Julia. Be honest with me, you’re not bothered by that?”

“Why would I be?” Rosita replied calmly. “Ms. Kensington has been caring for Irwin for five years—she’s practically a second mom to him. That makes Ms. Hudson like a grandmother. Stewart helping them is the least he can do.”

“You’re hilarious! Briony’s just a nanny—what makes her Irwin’s mom?” Jason scoffed. “Stewart told us himself: Rosita, you’re so career-driven, and with your health, you couldn’t take care of Irwin yourself, so you hired Briony. I never thought much of it, but lately, Irwin’s been asking for Briony nonstop. I think she’s brainwashed the kid!”

“Jason, don’t be ridiculous,” Rosita chided gently. “It’s normal for Irwin to depend on Ms. Kensington—she’s been with him for years. Honestly, she’s better at caring for him than I am.”

Her tone softened even more. “Stewart just wants Ms. Hudson to recover, so Ms. Kensington can be at ease and keep helping with Irwin. After all, she’s been in his life for five years—no one’s more suited to raise him.”

“Briony only agreed to look after Irwin because she didn’t know about you!” Jason said with a sneer. “You really think she’s content being just a nanny? Come on, her real goal is Stewart. But now that you and Stewart are officially together, she knows she’s got no chance. I bet she won’t keep helping with Irwin for long.”

“Jason!” Rosita’s voice sharpened. “Ms. Kensington isn’t like that. Stop talking about her this way! Besides, Stewart told me himself: as long as he helps Ms. Hudson, with how grateful Ms. Kensington is, she’ll definitely come back to help with Irwin. Don’t always assume the worst about her!”
