Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 176

Irwin's eyes filled with resentment at the thought. He was determined not to let Mom have that new baby!

They had dinner just a block away from the hotel that evening.

Stewart finally noticed something was off.

Irwin, on the other hand, had eaten his fill. Noticing Briony hadn't touched her rice, he asked with concern, "Mom, don't you like the food?"
