Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 233

The moment the words left her mouth, Isabel felt a chill run down her spine, and goosebumps visibly broke out on her arms.

From her horrified expression, Amanda and Evelyn could see just how unacceptable she found the idea.

“We’re not just making this up,” Evelyn said, giving her a comforting hug. “From the moment you told me about your past with him, I knew something wasn’t right.”

“But back then, I was more furious about how he treated you. I was just happy you got away from him, so there was no point in explaining it all.”

Amanda chimed in, “I felt the same way.”

That was why she had a bad feeling when she learned Isabel and Adrian were still married. But Isabel seemed to be getting along so well with Julian, and she had a sweet son who was like her own. It seemed unnecessary to bring up old wounds. But now that Adrian was on the attack, they felt Isabel couldn't just sit back and take it.

“He definitely cares about you,” Evelyn said. “As for his behavior... maybe we normal people just don’t understand geniuses. I can’t make any sense of it.”

Amanda nodded in agreement. “Geniuses are always a bit eccentric.”

“Am I eccentric?” Isabel asked, pointing at herself.

Amanda hesitated, then finally dropped the bomb. “Do you know that Dylan is in love with you?”

“Of course I do.”

“...” Amanda froze. “You knew?”

“Yes,” Isabel nodded. “And I really like him as a partner. We’ve always worked so well together. I love him like a little brother. I can tell he loves working with me.”

“...”

Edmund, who had been listening quietly, raised his hand as a sudden silence fell over them. “I can confirm this. Daddy likes Mommy a lot. Before I came here, he kept telling me to be good to Mommy. He’s never repeated himself so many times before.”

Isabel gently patted his small head. “Don’t add to the confusion.”

“I’m not, Mommy,” Edmund insisted. “Daddy also treasures a photo of the two of you from when you were kids. He said he always wanted to marry you and he was finally getting the chance, but he’s angry that the bad uncle won’t divorce you.”

“He told you that himself?”

“Yes. When he came to pick me up, he was very sad. He drank a lot in front of my parents’ bodies. He told me all this while I was taking care of him.”

Isabel didn’t ask any more questions.

Edmund was far too calm when he spoke of his parents’ bodies, a composure that was unnatural for a six-year-old child.
