Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 567

Briony crouched down and picked up the packet of fruit chews.

Lucky placed his paw gently on Briony's hand.

She looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Woof! Woof!" Lucky barked at her, his voice even more urgent than before.

Little Nina came running over, one hand on her hip and the other yanking at Lucky's floppy ear. Her cheeks puffed up in anger, making her look just like a little pufferfish.

"Mommy, Lucky's being bad! I was nice and shared Mr. Ellsworth's fruit chews with him, but he wouldn't eat them and tossed them straight in the trash. When I scolded him, he went and tried to steal my whole packet!"

Briony was startled and glanced at Lucky. "Is that true, Little Nina?"

Lucky answered with two more anxious barks, spinning in frantic little circles and pawing at the ground, whining softly. Then he lunged again, trying to grab the fruit chews from Briony's hand.

"See, Mom! He's trying to steal them again!" Little Nina stamped her foot, on the verge of tears.
