Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 490

Chapter 490

Little Mario kept going on about how nice Daddy's voice was, and now even she was curious to hear it for herself!

Briony could see right through her daughter's little scheme, so she grinned and said, "Well, why don't you ask your dad in a bit? If he's busy, then you can always call me again, okay?"

"Okay!" Little Mario paused for a second, scrunching up her brows. "Mom, there's something I find really weird!"

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"Tonight when Daddy played with us in the backyard, he kept lifting me up onto the slide. He did it so many times I lost count... then all of a sudden, he started coughing. He looked like he was really uncomfortable."

Briony froze.

Her daughter's words made her think of what James had told her earlier in the evening.

Could something really be wrong with Stewart's health?

"Little Nina, are you talking to Mommy?"

A deep male voice sounded from the other end of the line.

Briony snapped back to attention.

"Daddy, I'm talking to Mommy," Little Nina said, holding up her smartwatch. "Do you want to say hi to her?"

Stewart hesitated for a brief moment, staring at the watch she held out to him.

On the other end, Briony went quiet too.
