Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 40

She really did feel wronged, but Briony knew she couldn't blame her mother for any of this.

Her mother was never one for strong opinions-when swept up in public gossip and confusion, it was only natural she'd panic. Briony understood.

"Stewart, the only reason I agreed to clear things up online was because I owed you for what you did for me years ago." Her voice was icy. "But if I'd known it would come to this, I'd have rather been called ungrateful than get involved at all.”

Stewart stared at her, seeing a resolve in her calm expression that he'd never witnessed before.
