Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 256

Rosita's expression turned icy in an instant.

"Where's Irwin?"

"Irwin and Mr. Wentworth went to Silveridge these past couple of days."

Rosita frowned. "What are they doing in Silveridge?"

"They went to visit Ms. Kensington. Irwin told me Ms. Kensington is staying in Silveridge for her pregnancy, and Mr. Wentworth made time to take Irwin to see her."

"What did you just say?!" Rosita's expression changed sharply. "Are you saying Stewart knows about Briony's pregnancy?!"

Jeannie froze, realizing the gravity of what she'd just blurted out when she saw the color drain from Rosita's face. Suddenly, she clapped a hand over her mouth.

Oh no, oh no!

She'd definitely said too much.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Lockwood," Jeannie stammered, bowing her head. She knew she'd messed up.

Rosita stared at her, a chill flickering in her eyes-but in the next second, she forced a gentle smile.

"You don't need to apologize. Ms. Kensington's pregnancy is a blessing; she'll make a wonderful mother, unlike me..."

Rosita's eyes reddened, and her voice caught in her throat. "Five years ago, I had a difficult birth with Irwin. It left me with serious health issues. Stewart was heartbroken, and he didn't want my career to suffer because of motherhood. That's why he turned to Ms. Kensington."

Jeannie's eyes widened in shock. "So, that means... Mr. Wentworth and you are..."

"Stewart and I have never truly separated."

"What?!"

Jeannie's jaw dropped.
