Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 102

Isabel understood.

She figured she'd already lost a lot of time because of her hand treatment; one more day wouldn't make a difference.

Amanda's current research was also at a critical stage.

She agreed.

"I understand. But if there are some activities I can't do with my right hand, I'll have to apologize. You should tell your son in advance."

"My Leo is such a sweetheart. If you just tell him, he'll understand."

Isabel was envious.

She had met Leo a few times, and he was indeed a gentle and chivalrous little boy.

"When you're back, you owe me dinner."

By saying this, she hoped Amanda wouldn't feel too indebted for the favor.

"Absolutely. I'll treat you to a feast."

Isabel turned to enter her fingerprint to get into Lab 1. Suddenly, she felt someone press up against her from behind.

She spun around and struck.

Dylan immediately jumped back, dodging her punch.

Isabel felt a little awkward. "Why do you walk so silently? You could have just called my name."

"It's not like we haven't been close before. Why are you so jumpy now?"

They had stood close before while running experiments or writing up data.

But she had always been aware of his presence then.

He had never just crept up on her back like that.

Isabel felt there was an edge to his words, and he didn't look happy.

He didn't have his usual carefree demeanor.

"Is there something you need?"

Dylan scoffed, his brow furrowed. "So now I need a reason to see you?"

Seriously?

She hadn't seen them in half a month, and now everyone she meets was in a foul mood?

She had just dealt with Adrian's temper and hadn't even digested it, and now this?

Isabel wasn't one to tolerate baseless anger.

If it was her fault, she could put up with it.

But she hadn't seen him in ages. She had just returned today. What could she have possibly done to provoke him?

But Dylan probably didn't see it that way.

Still, heartbroken? Over what?

Isabel was getting a divorce, not married.

[Maybe it's because Selena brought in a lot of experts, so he's no longer involved with the rest of Y-2, and he can't partner with you either. He's probably just sad and upset about that.]

Isabel felt Dylan's mood wasn't just about not being able to partner with her.

But she hadn't explicitly said they would never work together again.

Once the Y-2 business was over, they would surely team up again.

But since Amanda said he wasn't heartbroken, Isabel ended their chat and sent him a message.

[Don't be sad, Dylan. I won't abandon you!]

Dylan saw the message while washing his face in the restroom, water droplets trailing down his resolute jawline.

His puppy-dog eyes were red-rimmed.

He looked utterly pitiful and wronged.

Isabel's message didn't console him at all.

He wanted to reply, but he was afraid he'd say the wrong thing, so he just deleted the conversation and ignored it.
