Chapter 469

"No matter what I do, I'll always be Mario's biological mother. It's not just Ms. Riley —even Stewart has no right to stop me from loving my son."

Lorna looked at Briony, her gaze steady.

It had only been a day, but Briony already seemed different.

"Ms. Kensington, I think there's been a misunderstanding. I'm simply raising Mario the way Stewart asked me to," Lorna replied with a calm smile. "If you don't approve of Stewart's methods, perhaps you should discuss them with him directly."

Briony had come for two reasons: to see her son, and to finally have a clear conversation with Stewart.

She turned to Carol. "Where is Stewart?"

Carol glanced at Lorna.

"He's in the study," Lorna answered. "But I can't promise he'll want to see you."

Briony ignored her, still addressing Carol. "Let him know I need to talk to him about Mario's upbringing."

Carol nodded. "Of course, I'll let Mr. Wentworth know."

She set down what she was carrying and started toward the stairs.

"I'll go," Lorna interjected, stopping Carol. "He's been busy lately and doesn't like interruptions."
