Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 527

Even though she knew the real reason, she still pretended to be in the dark.

"So you're planning to give me custody of Mario?"

Briony fixed her gaze on him. "You went through so much trouble to win custody of your son, and now you're giving it up so easily?"

"That was because The Wentworth Group needed an heir." Stewart's expression was steady, betraying nothing. "Now that neither the company nor the family has anything to do with me, I'm heading abroad to start a new business. The early days will be hectic and unpredictable. If Mario comes with me, I won't be able to give him the attention he deserves."

"Mario really depends on you right now. While you've been away these past few days, he's even called out for you in his sleep."

Stewart froze.
