NovelGoldChapter 334 Briony was suddenly gripped by a sense of unease.
"Keep an eye on Little Nina. I'll go check on something," she said.
"Alright," cthe reply.
As Briony stepped out of Little Nina's room, she saw Jeannie emerging from the master bedroom across the hall.
"Ms. Radcliffe, where's my suitcase?" Briony asked.
Jeannie smiled. "I put it in the walk-in closet in the master bedroom." "Who told you to put it there?" Briony's tone turned frosty. "I'm not staying in the master." "You're not?" Jeannie looked genuinely surprised. "But you and Mr. Wentworth are married, aren't you? I just thought-" Briony couldn't be bothered to explain. She walked straight into the master bedroom.
She found her suitcase in the closet, then dragged it out. Just as she reached the doorway, she nearly collided with Stewart.
Stewart glanced down at the suitcase in her hand. "Planning to move next door?" "I've already compromised by coming back. Don't push your luck," Briony said, her voice cool.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStewart's eyes narrowed. "You really insist on this?" "This is my boundary," she replied firmly.
He arched a dark eyebrow, then stepped aside to let her pass.
Briony wheeled her suitcase directly into the adjoining nursery.
The door shut behind her with a decisive thud.
Jeannie hovered nervously by Stewart. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Wentworth. I didn't realize you and your wife hadn't fully reconciled. I didn't mean to make things awkward!" Stewart shot her a brief look. "You're Irwin's nanny. In the future, let the housekeeping staff handle these matters." Jeannie nodded quickly. "Understood." Dinner time.
In the dining room, Irwin and Jeannie sat side by side.
Stewart took his seat at the head of the table.
Briony settled Little Nina into her high chair, carefully dividing up her food with a child-friendly fork and spoon.
Little Nina was hungry, and she ate with remarkable focus-tiny hands gripping her utensils, taking one bite after another, so adorably serious that anyone watching couldn't help but smile.
The maids standing by exchanged knowing, affectionate grins.
Watching her, Jeannie couldn't help but gush, Ma'am, your little girl looks so much like you. She's absolutely precious! If I had a baby like this, I'd smile in my sleep every night." Briony only gave a faint, polite smile in return.
Though she'd spent a few days around Jeannie four years ago, it had been a fleeting acquaintance. They were hardly close.
Now, with Jeannie acting so warm and familiar, Briony actually found it a little uncomfortable.
Crystal, Little Nina's full-tnanny, shot Jeannie a look, shrugged, and quietly returned to her meal.
Since Jeannie, as Irwin's nanny, was allowed at the table, Crystal was entitled to eat with the family as well.
After dinner, Briony asked Crystal to take Little Nina for a walk in the garden to help her digest.
Irwin had homework to do, and Jeannie accompanied him to his room.
The spacious house soon fell much quieter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBriony was about to return to her room to make a call when Stewart's voice stopped her.
"Cto the study. I need to talk to you." Upstairs, in the study.
Stewart picked up a folder from the desk and handed it to Briony.
She took it. "What's this?" "My shares for Little Nina," Stewart replied.
Briony blinked in surprise.
She opened the folder. Inside was a document granting Little Nina alive percent stake in The Wentworth Group. She didn't refuse.
"I'll hold onto these for her. If you're worried, I can draft a statement, Briony said. m "That won't be necessary." Stewart met her eyes. "Irwin doesn't have any shares in the group yet. Little se has the first Wentworth child to a stake." Briony caught the implication.
"Stewart, if you have something to say, just say it."
He looked at her, voice low. "I'll give you this five percent for Little Niha-if el you'll treat Irwin a little better. Is that fair?"
