Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 86

"Have you heard of Irwin?" Rosita asked, her voice as innocent as ever. "He's the son Stewart and I had five years ago. Back then, my career was taking off, and Stewart didn't want me to lose momentum because of a baby-so this was the solution we came up with."

She looked at Ms. Hudson, wide-eyed and guileless. "Ms. Hudson, you've really misunderstood me. I'm not the other woman. Stewart and I grew up together— we've loved each other for years.
