Chapter 544

On the drive home, Briony's phone rang. It was Cedric Clarke.

"Stewart's leaving for Switzerland tomorrow. Before he goes, he'd like to see the kids one more time."

"Of course," Briony replied, her tone calm. "Just let me know who'll be picking them up."

Cedric hesitated. "Stewart said little Mario called him this morning, asking if he and Nina could go to the amusement park together and ride the Ferris wheel. He saw on TV that you can make a wish at the top."

Briony was quiet for a moment before answering, "I don't mind where they go. You can come by Skybreeze Retreat for the kids tomorrow."

There was another pause on Cedric's end.

As she reached the intersection, the light turned red. Briony pressed her foot gently on the brake, the silence inside the car growing heavier. She let out a long, tired sigh. "What is Stewart really trying to do?"

"Stewart told me the kids want both their mom and dad to go with them."
