Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 122

She fastened the buttons much faster than she had unfastened them.

Next came the suit jacket.

Once he was dressed, she said, "Mr. Blackwell, this jacket and shirt go well with your trousers, so..."

"I think it's mediocre. Change them."

"..."

Changing his jacket was one thing.

Changing his trousers...

Isabel simply couldn't muster the courage.

Just then, the man spoke again. "What's wrong? You used to be so eager for something to happen between us. Getting shy now?"

"..."

Isabel clenched her jaw.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

She reached out and grasped his belt buckle.

It clicked open.

Isabel averted her eyes, quickly pulling his trousers down.

She grabbed the new pair to put on him.

But even as careful as she was, some contact was unavoidable.

"..."

Her whole body felt like it was on fire, beyond her control.

Her cheeks were clearly the epicenter of the heat.

Fastening the new belt was even more flustering.

His belts were all custom-made, with buckles different from standard ones.

Even when she was calm, they required a bit of skill to fasten.

Now, in her flustered state, she was all thumbs.

She fumbled with it several times, unable to close it.

Not only were her palms sweating, but beads of perspiration also formed on the tip of her nose.

Despite the perfectly temperate room,

she was drenched in a nervous sweat.

"Why are you blushing?"

Suddenly, the man bent down to her eye level.

"With a reaction like this, are you sure you don't love me anymore?"

"..."

This was torture.

Why, at a time like this, when they were about to divorce, did such a misleading incident have to happen?

It made it look like she was the one throwing herself at him.

"Mr. Blackwell... that was an accident..."

Isabel was terrified he would use this as an excuse not to go through with the divorce.

"It wasn't on purpose. You're the one who insisted I tie your tie..."

Adrian adjusted the tie she had fastened too tightly.

His handsome face was still covered in a layer of frost.

He gave her a cool glance but said nothing.

But in Isabel's eyes, his gaze spoke volumes.

The word 'unconvinced' was written all over it.

Isabel hurried after him and got into his car first. No matter what happened today, she had to get to City Hall.

But Adrian didn't get in. "Perfect. You can take the child to kindergarten. It's not on my way."

How could it not be on his way?

Oliver's new kindergarten was practically on the direct route!

Isabel quickly got out from the other side and grabbed his suit jacket. "Adrian, if I sue for divorce, it's your precious darling's reputation that will be on the line."
