Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 451

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.”

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

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