Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 507

Little Nina pouted, casting Briony a look of exaggerated exasperation. "Do you really need to ask?"

Briony was caught off guard.

"Of course I'd vote for Dad!" Little Nina replied, utterly convinced. "Mr. Ellsworth might be handsome, but he's just an uncle. If I wanted, I could have lots of handsome uncles in the future, but I only have one dad!"

Briony was momentarily speechless.

Little Nina looked up at her, eyes sparkling with mischief, her little voice clear and earnest.

"Mama, I know you and Dad argued and decided to live apart. But don't worry-if it came down to a vote between you and Dad, I'd pick you without a second thought! But if it's Dad versus anyone else, even Godfather versus Dad, I'd always choose Dad."

Well, turns out the real clown here is me.

The video ended there. James put away his phone, shut his eyes, and let out a long, theatrical sigh. "Sweetheart, that hurts. I think you owe me some comfort."

"Huh?" Little Nina glanced at James, blinking innocently. "Don't be sad, Godfather. You're still a step above Mr. Ellsworth. If it were between you and Mr. Ellsworth, I'd absolutely vote for you!"

James brightened instantly, feeling vindicated. He thought to himself, I knew all that pampering would pay off!
