Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 380

Irwin wiped his tears with the back of his hand. "I know, I don't blame Mom Bryn," he said, his voice trembling. "It's okay, really. If it helps Mom Bryn come home, I don't have to stay in the new house."

"It's only temporary," Stewart replied, his voice tight as he swallowed hard. "Irwin, trust me your Mom Bryn isn't heartless. Give her a little while. She'll come around, and when she does, we'll all be together again, just like before."

Though sadness weighed heavy on Irwin, he knew that once Dad said something, he had to listen. Ms. Radcliffe always told him, don't let your father down.
