Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 174

Briony's expression turned cold in an instant, but before she could say a word, Stella and James exploded first-

Stella snapped, "Stewart, have you no shame? You're busy planning a wedding with Rosita, but at the same time you want to share a room with our Bryn? Honestly, you should change your last name. Stewart Ainsworth would suit you better-two-faced royalty!"

James chimed in, voice dripping with disdain, “Stewart, as a man, I honestly have nothing but contempt for you."

Unfazed, Stewart barely spared them a glance, turning his attention to the front desk clerk. "Could you tell them about your family suite options, please?"

The clerk nodded politely. "Of course. Our family suites are private apartments, with two bedrooms and a living room. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. There's also a kitchen, two private balconies, and a laundry room."

Stella and James fell silent, momentarily at a loss for words.

Stewart looked over at Briony, raising an eyebrow as if to say, "See?"

Briony frowned, but Stewart spoke up calmly and matter-of-factly. "This trip was planned for Irwin. It's for the three of us as a family. There's no reason to split up." With Stewart's straightforward explanation, Briony couldn't find a reasonable objection.
