Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 458

Briony hadn't expected such a blunt question.

She paused for a second, then offered a calm, faint smile. "We've only just started seeing each other."

Lorna frowned. "Really?"

"Are you worried I still have feelings for Mr. Wentworth?"

Lorna hesitated. "...No, not at all.”

Truthfully, she was asking on Stewart's behalf-and, if she was honest, for herself as well.

As far as she could tell, James was obviously interested in Briony. But Briony? Lorna just couldn't read her.

"Ms. Riley, you can rest assured I'm completely done with Mr. Wentworth. I sincerely wish you both happiness."

Lorna sighed. "...Thanks, I guess!"

Suppressing another sigh, Lorna scooped up little Mario, said her goodbyes to Briony, and headed for the car.

Back at Southcreek Manor, Carol took little Mario upstairs for his bath and bedtime.

Lorna went straight to the study and knocked on the door.
