Chapter 529

By the time all the paperwork was finished, it was already three thirty in the afternoon.

Little Nina piped up, suggesting the whole family go out for some KFC. Stewart didn't answer right away he just looked over at Briony.

Briony was about to refuse when she felt a small hand slip into hers. She glanced down and met little Mario's dark, earnest eyes.

Briony lifted her eyes to Stewart.

He'd been watching her the whole time.
