Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 106

"Woof woof!" The golden retriever puppy barked eagerly in response.

James chimed in with a grin, "Honestly, I think 'Woof Woof' is kind of a cute name!"

The puppy turned to James and let out a whimper, sounding adorably aggrieved.

James's eyes widened in surprise. "No way, did it just understand me?"

"Golden retrievers are really smart," Briony replied, smiling. “I think he just doesn't like your name. He probably prefers 'Lucky'."

"Woof woof!" the puppy barked again, clearly in agreement.

Watching the puppy respond to Briony's every word, James shook his head in mock defeat. "Alright, I give up! You really are his chosen human."

For the first time in days, Briony's lifeless eyes brightened, just a little, as she looked at the puppy.
