Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 312

But she had never been deliberately cruel. Now that Isabel was about to divorce Adrian, she was letting it all out. Isabel knew Catherine had some grudge against Julian’s mother, but she wasn’t going to just stand there and take it.

But Evelyn was faster.

“Listen, lady, you’ve got a husband and a son of your own. You shouldn’t be sticking up for another man. The fact that you never had him and could only watch as he had a child with someone else means he was never into you. Besides, the man is dead. Who are you putting on this display of devotion for?”

“You!” Catherine’s face turned ugly as her hidden feelings were exposed. “What nonsense are you spouting!”

Evelyn smiled and wrapped an arm around Isabel’s shoulder. “Our Isabel is a lucky charm. Whoever she’s with will do well. It’s the Blackwell family that has no luck, understand?”

“You!”

“Quiet,” old Mrs. Blackwell cut in, her tone stern. “Are you trying to announce this to the whole world?”

Catherine had to shut her mouth. Her husband and child were present, and her husband's position was sensitive. She was already on suspension from work. If any ugly rumors surfaced now, it would be detrimental not only to her but to her husband as well. The Blackwell family’s reputation would also suffer.

“Isabel, I’ve scolded her. From now on, if anyone bullies you, you tell Grandma.”

Isabel smiled faintly. “You should just focus on resting. I can handle things.”

As they spoke, the elevator reached the parking garage. Old Mrs. Blackwell took Isabel’s hand. “You have to come back and visit me in the future.”

“I will,” Isabel said. “You are you, and they are them.”

Adrian’s brow twitched, but he said nothing.

As they were getting into their respective cars, Oliver pushed Mrs. Blackwell away and ran to Isabel’s side, trying to squeeze into the car.

Edmund stood at the door and blocked him. “This is our car. You’re not allowed in.”

Oliver started pulling at him. “That’s my mom! That’s Isabel, my real mom! Even if you call her Mommy, she didn’t give birth to you, but I’m her son!”

Isabel ignored them, pulled her arm free, and got into Julian’s car.

Old Mrs. Blackwell took the rest of the family and left, leaving Adrian to drive to City Hall alone. The system at City Hall was already shut down for the day, but because it was Adrian, they agreed to process the request.

“Mr. Blackwell, there’s a one-month cooling-off period. You can come back to finalize it then. I’ve registered your application.”

Isabel asked him, “Can’t you bypass the cooling-off period? We already went through one before.”

Adrian was unmoved. “It’s the regulation. I’m not powerful enough to change the rules just by saying so.”

He was powerful enough. He was doing this on purpose!

Julian leaned against Isabel, his lips colorless and his face pale, but his voice was more serious and colder than his usual laid-back tone. “I can’t guarantee Selena will remain unharmed for a whole month.”
