Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 251

"What new baby?" Jeannie asked patiently, her voice gentle.

"My grandma told me not to tell anyone..."

Irwin was still terrified. Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was his mother, writhing in pain and covered in blood.

If that magic stone was the reason Mom ended up like that, he'd rather never have seen it at all.

"Ms. Radcliffe, what should I do?" Irwin's voice trembled with anxiety. "I think I hurt my mom. I think I made a big mistake..."

"Irwin, honey, don't cry. Take your time, just tell me what happened." Jeannie grabbed a few tissues and gently wiped away his tears and runny nose.

"My mom... she's going to have a new baby. But she hasn't told Dad."

Jeannie's eyes widened in surprise. "But isn't your mom in the middle of a divorce with your dad?"

"That's just because she's mad. She said it because she was upset, but Dad would never really leave her." Irwin's tone was firm, almost stubborn. "When Mom's not angry anymore, she'll come home. Then it'll be me and Mom like before."

Jeannie didn't know much about their family situation. But ever since she'd learned that Irwin's birth mother was someone else, she'd suspected that Stewart and Briony's rocky marriage probably had something to do with Irwin's biological
