Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 397

Jeannie pitched her tent with Irwin on a patch of grass right next to Briony's group.

James noticed immediately and was thoroughly annoyed.

"What is with those two? Can't they take a hint?"

Briony was a bit irritated herself. But the field was spacious, and it was first come, first served. There wasn't much she could do about it.

James had just finished setting up the canopy and was about to start on the tents. Crystal, ever the handy one, already had two hammocks strung up in no time. Little Nina and little Mario each claimed one, while Carol and Crystal gently rocked them back and forth. The kids' laughter rang out, bright and carefree.

Meanwhile, Jeannie started pitching her tent with Irwin in the empty spot right beside them.

"Irwin, sweetheart, I can handle this. Why don't you go play with the other kids?" she said.

Irwin's face lit up, and he trotted off toward the hammocks.

"Hey!" James spotted Irwin making a beeline for the two little ones and immediately dropped what he was doing to intercept him.
