Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 541

Briony understood what he was getting at. “Ms. Riley spoke to me today.”

Carl hesitated, then asked, “So… you already know?”

She nodded. “Yes, I’m aware of everything about Stewart’s condition.”

Hope flickered in Carl’s eyes. “Then… would you be willing to talk to Mr. Wentworth? Maybe persuade him?”

Briony’s expression remained calm. “I’m sorry.”

The expectation drained from Carl’s face in an instant.

But he knew—Briony had no obligation to intervene with Stewart again. And Stewart himself certainly wouldn’t want her to know, much less for them to secretly come begging her for help. If Stewart ever found out, he’d probably be furious.

Suppressing his emotions, Carl gave Briony a polite nod. “Ms. Kensington, I’ll be heading back then.”

Briony stopped him. “Wait a moment—let me get something for you.”

Carl paused, a faint glimmer of hope returning. “Of course. I’ll wait.”

Briony turned and walked back inside. She went to her room, retrieved a thick photo album, and handed it to Carl.

He took the album, heavy in his hands.

“This is every photo of Little Nina from birth to her first birthday,” Briony explained. “There’s also a flash drive inside. It has videos I recorded of her up to age three. Give them to Stewart.”

Carl’s eyes grew red-rimmed as he clutched the album.

“I know there’s no need to tell him about his illness,” Briony continued quietly. “Just tell him this is a farewell gift from Little Nina. If he truly loves his child, maybe—just maybe—he’ll find the strength to try again for her sake.”

Carl understood exactly what Briony was doing, and he felt deeply moved on Stewart’s behalf. “Thank you, Ms. Kensington. Truly.”

“I just don’t want her to grow up with regrets,” Briony replied softly.

Carl nodded, wiping at his eyes, and headed out to his car.

…

When Briony returned to the living room, the two little ones were playing quietly in the kids’ corner.

James had just finished making tea and was waiting for her.

Briony sat down in the armchair nearby.

James used a pair of tongs to hand her a steaming cup. “Do you think giving him Little Nina’s album will make a difference?”
