Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 400

Adrian said nothing.

He didn't deign to explain. He was used to being in control and wasn't a man of many words.

Mostly because people anticipated his needs. He never had to ask for anything; someone would have already taken care of it.

Isabel was a perfect example. He wouldn't even have to mention he was coming home for dinner, and she would always have a meal prepared. She would even deliver it to his office, regardless of rain or snow.

She packed his bags for his trips abroad.

He never had to manage anything at home.

Raising a child wasn't easy, especially one who was often sick.

And she had nearly died on the operating table.

At that thought, he swallowed hard, and his voice was hoarse when he finally spoke. "If you had told me..."

Isabel suddenly jerked the steering wheel, making him lurch to the side.

His unspoken words vanished.

A car had been driving recklessly.

Adrian immediately took out his phone, snapped a picture, and sent it to Daniel to handle.

The emotional moment was broken, and they drove the rest of the way to the city office in silence.

After getting out of the car, Adrian reached for her.

Isabel dodged him.

The moment his fingertips brushed against her, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and he had to pull back.

"If I pursue you after the divorce, will you give me a chance?"

"No."

Isabel's refusal was blunt. She walked past him and entered the City Civil Affairs Bureau first.

Adrian followed behind her. The staff at the bureau immediately stood up when they saw him.

But since he hadn't received any prior notice, he could only lead them to the VIP room to sit down.

"We have a pre-divorce mediation process. If the issues aren't too severe, it's always better to communicate more. Resorting to divorce over every little thing hurts the relationship."

Isabel said coolly, "When I almost died giving birth, he was abroad setting off fireworks with Selena. During the snowstorm, he insisted on rescuing Selena first, even though she was in no danger, which led to my right hand being permanently injured. The whole world knows what I do for a living, so I don't need to explain how important my right hand is."

"As for any other issues, I think those two are enough to justify a divorce."

Isabel fell silent.

The director opened his mouth but couldn't find any words. He looked at Adrian, waiting for a signal.

Even with all that, if Mr. Blackwell didn't give the word, he couldn't just process the divorce.

"Speak up," Isabel said, kicking Adrian's leg. "You don't have much time. If you collapse here, I'm not going to help you."

Adrian's eyes were red. He looked at Isabel. "I can make up for what I did..."

His voice lacked conviction. After all, these were matters of life and death.
