Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 322

As for everything else, she could handle it herself.

Briony was surprised-frankly, it sounded a bit like something out of a fairy tale.

But this was Ferdinand's uncle, after all; questioning him felt inappropriate. Sensing Briony's uncertainty, Ferdinand suggested they all accompany Julia to the countryside.
