Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 375

Back in Northborough, Briony and Ferdinand stepped out of the airport into the crisp afternoon air.

Gifford was waiting outside, ready to pick up Ferdinand.

Ferdinand turned to Briony. "Want me to drop you off first?"

"I'm heading back to Skybreeze Retreat," Briony replied, glancing at her watch. "It's nearly dinnertime. If you're not in a rush, why don't you and Gifford come eat with us before you head home?"

He raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his voice. "That phone call you just took-was it from Little Nina?"

Briony gave a helpless little smile. "Yes. That little rascal found out I was with you and put me on a mission-she wants me to bring you back."

"Being thought of is a nice feeling," Ferdinand said warmly. "Guess I'll help you complete your mission. Afterwards, you can report back to Little Nina."

Briony laughed, and the three of them piled into the car.

Half an hour later, Gifford pulled into the driveway of Sunset Ridge Villas.

At the sound of the engine, Little Nina and little Mario came running out to greet them.

Briony was surprised to see little Mario. "Hey, little Mario-did you come by yourself?"

He shook his head and pointed toward the house. "Carol."
