Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 215

Briony showed no emotion as she walked straight past them, heading directly for the elevator.

Behind her, Irwin's cries echoed through the hallway.

"Mom! Mom, please don't go! It hurts, Mom-please, it hurts so much... Don't ignore me, Mom, please..."

People waiting by the elevator turned to stare at Irwin. Seeing how the boy's eyes never left Briony, their gazes shifted to her, curiosity mingling with judgment.

But Briony remained utterly unmoved.

"Poor kid's bawling his eyes out, and his mother doesn't even flinch," an older woman muttered under her breath.

Her daughter leaned in, whispering, "Maybe they're divorced. That boy looks like he's with his dad."

"So what if they're divorced? Since when does that mean a mother stops caring about her child? Who could be so heartless?"

Briony listened to the whispered gossip swirling around her, feeling nothing at all. Irwin had his own mother. It wasn't her place to worry about him anymore.

The elevator arrived. Briony stepped in, followed by the others. She moved into a corner, keeping her distance. The doors slid shut, cutting off the sound of Irwin's cries.

Irwin stared at the closed elevator doors, his sobs slowly dying down.

His mother really didn't love him anymore.

He was hurt, and she couldn't even spare him a glance...

He lowered his head. In his mind, Rosita's voice replayed, cold and matter-of-fact:

[Your Mom Bryn has her own baby now. She won't love you anymore.]

Irwin's red-rimmed eyes brimmed with resentment.
