NovelEnglishChapter 443 Little Manestled quietly in Briony's arms.
He understood, really.
Carol had told him long ago-his father was Stewart, and his mother was Briony.
Though little Mawas small and hardly spoke, he understood more of the adults' conversations than anyone realized.
After the paternity results cback, Stewart had reached out to Carol in private, asking her to help prepare little Mafor the truth.

Stewart glanced at Carol and gave her a nod of gratitude. "Thank you." Carol sniffled, watching Briony finally reunited with her son. Relief washed over her, the weight she'd carried for so long finally lifted.
"Mr. Wentworth, you don't need to thank me. I only did it out of love for little Mario. This wasn't for you-it was for him, from the bottom of my heart." Garry, listening from across the room, let out a cold laugh. "Well done, Stewart. Seems there's nobody you can't win over-not even my own people." Stewart's dark eyes cut to Garry, cool and unflinching. "Garry, people's hearts can't be bought. That's the hardest truth of all." He'd persuaded Carol not by force or money, but because she was a kind soul who truly cared for little Mario. Garry's expression darkened, a scowl settling over his features.
Stewart's gaze flickered toward Briony, who was sobbing into her son's hair, and for a moment compassion softened his eyes.
But only for a moment. When he looked back at Garry, his gaze was ice. "Let them go." Garry stared at Stewart for a long beat, then curled his lips into a cold smile. "Fine. Have it your way." His secretary glanced at him in surprise.
Garry slumped back on the couch, narrowing his eyes. "Do I need to repeat myself?" "Understood," she replied crisply.
She walked over to Briony and said gently, "Ms. Kensington, you're free to leave." James knelt beside Briony, his voice low and soothing. "Bryn, let's take little Mahome." Briony wiped the tears from her cheeks and nodded. "Alright." She clung to her son, refusing to let anyone else carry him—not even James.
Carol, having helped Stewart, had effectively betrayed Garry. Stewart knew he owed her and insisted she calong too.
Garry had already let little Mago; he certainly wasn't going to keep Carol.
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed her. Carol exhaled in relief and hurried to join Briony and the others.
As Briony passed Stewart, little Macalled out softly, "Dad." Briony hesitated.
Stewart ruffled his son's hair with gentle femile. "Be good for your mom, alright? I'll cfor youel few days." Briony's brow furrowed.

But there was no tto argue now-the only thing that mattered was getting little Masafely away from here. Briony gripped her son tighter and walked out without looking back.
James paused beside Stewart, a note are concern in his eyes. "Stewart, sure you'll be alright on your own?"
Stewart was a little surprised by the gesture. Take care of them," he said ve quietly. When you get to Northborough, contact Cedriol.ne Clarke. Have him give little Maa full check-up." James nodded curtly and left with the others.
The secretary personally escorted Briony and her companions to the airport.
It was only when the plane finally took off that Briony's tayt nerves began to unwind. She looked down at little Mario, tracing his soft, innocent face with trembling hands.
