Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 686

Chapter 686

Stewart stood in the doorway, one hand gripping the handle. "Can I come in?"

Ever since Briony had recovered and come home from the hospital, Stewart

hadn't entered her bedroom uninvited.

Briony pressed her lips together, her mind drifting to the fact that Stewart was

about to marry Xenia Cooper.

"I'll step out," she said quietly.

Stewart froze for a second, caught off guard. But, ever the gentleman, he stepped

aside and let her pass.

Once the door clicked shut behind him, Briony pulled back the covers and got out

of bed. She slipped her arms into a cardigan hanging on the rack before heading

out.

When Briony opened the door and emerged, Stewart was still waiting in the

hallway. There was a restless urgency in his eyes.

She could guess what he wanted to talk about. "Let's go to my studio," she

suggested.

With the kids at home, Briony didn't want them overhearing any talk about their

father's upcoming remarriage.

Inside the studio, Stewart shut the door behind them. Briony crossed to the sofa

and sat down, gesturing for him to do the same.

He took the seat across from her. For a moment, the silence between them was
