Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 198

He had assumed Julian, knowing he was stuck in bureaucratic red tape, had taken Isabel for the test himself.

In any case, the matter was resolved, and they could put the unpleasant incident behind them.

That evening, Mr. and Mrs. Ashford cooked together to celebrate Isabel truly becoming their daughter.

They also brought up the topic of the marriage license and the wedding.

"Now that Isabel is officially part of the Durantin family, getting a marriage license here will be very easy."

"The wedding is a bit more complicated, but Vivienne and I have nothing but time. We'll handle everything. You two just need to go along with our plans."

Mrs. Ashford added, "First of all, Mr. Reed can no longer stay with us. You need to show some sincerity and then wait to receive your bride."

"How about a church wedding?" Mr. and Mrs. Ashford began to discuss the details with great enthusiasm, as if they were the ones getting married, ignoring everyone else.

"That could work. I think a lawn wedding would be nice too. Or even a wedding on the lake, with boats."

"We'll hire a wedding planner and have them draw up plans for every possible type!"

Miles couldn't listen anymore. "Uncle, Aunt, shouldn't you ask them? It's their wedding. And while Isabel is now officially registered with our family, she comes from another country. She must have her own customs."

"Right, right," Mrs. Ashford said, turning to Isabel. "Whatever style you like, that's the style we like."

Isabel had never intended to have a big wedding, so she had no strong opinions.

Right now, her priority was returning to Aurelia City to see her laboratory.

It had been so long, and she hadn't even been inside.

Julian had said it needed to air out after construction, but no one had entered it yet.

Especially since her lungs had been weak at the time, they were worried about her inhaling anything harmful.

Then there was the matter of acknowledging her family.

She was desperate to go back.

"We'll do a traditional ceremony, but nothing too complicated," Julian interjected. "Her health isn't good, so she can't get too tired."

"Then leave it to us," Mrs. Ashford said. "Mr. Reed is busy too, so just focus on your own affairs."

And so, after dinner, Isabel and Julian flew back to Aurelia City that very night.

Upon arriving at Seacliff Estates in Aurelia City, she immediately wanted to see the lab.

"Forget it," Julian said. "First of all, your project is aimed at benefiting all of humanity. Second, we're about to be husband and wife. There's no need to draw such lines between us."

"Just remember, my life is in your hands. If you create anything good, save some for me."

Isabel wasn't a doctor; her research focused on anti-cancer drugs.

She hoped Julian would never need the treatments she was developing.

A few minor injuries were one thing.

Given his line of work, getting hurt was unavoidable.

"I'm not a miracle worker. You should take better care of yourself. Besides, once I have the technology from old Mr. Reed, I won't care whether I have a husband or not."

"Hey," Julian said, pinching her cheek. "We're not even married yet and you're already wishing me dead."

"I am not!"

As Isabel tried to defend herself, she caught a familiar, cold scent. Before she could react, Julian was shoved aside.

She found herself staring into a pair of dark, brooding eyes.
