Regretting the Wife He Threw Away novel Chapter 741

Back then, although Stewart had been aloof and buried in his work most of the time, whenever he was in Northborough, he would always rush back to have dinner with her and Irwin Wentworth…

The thought of Irwin sent a pang of panic through Briony.

That child was a tragic figure, used as a pawn by Rosita Lockwood from the moment he was born…

“What are you thinking about?”

A shadow fell over her, and Briony looked up, her gaze colliding unexpectedly with a pair of dark, intense eyes.

The tall man was leaning over slightly. Their faces were so close she could feel the faint, intermittent whisper of his breath mingling with hers.

Briony’s eyelashes fluttered, and she instinctively took a step back until her back was pressed against the wardrobe. There was nowhere left to retreat.

A heart was pounding furiously, but she couldn’t tell if it was his or hers.

“Bryn, I’m so happy.”

Briony pressed her lips together, forcing a calm reply.

“What about you?” Stewart lowered his head until the tip of his nose was almost touching hers. “Are you happy?”

Briony quickly raised a hand, pressing two fingers lightly against his chest. “We can talk, but you don’t have to be this close!”

Stewart glanced down, watching the gentle tremble of her eyelashes and the faint blush coloring her cheeks.

During those five years, they had shared countless nights of passionate love. Now, in this moment, with this atmosphere, Stewart found it impossible not to be moved.

“Bryn, you still have feelings for me, don’t you?”

Briony met his gaze. For a moment, they could see nothing but each other’s reflections in their eyes.

Sometime during their standoff, the storm outside had subsided. Water droplets slid silently down the windowpane. In the quiet room, it was impossible to tell whose breathing was more ragged.

Finally, it was the man who broke first.

Stewart’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his jaw tightening. “Don’t look at me like that.”

His voice was low and husky, his deep eyes filled with a raw desire that any adult would understand.
