Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 265

Julian remained unfazed by her crazed laughter.

"Even if she and Adrian did sleep together during this time, I don't care."

His concern was that Adrian would torture Isabel, that she would suffer.

"Don't assume everyone is like you. I may be a bad guy, but the one good thing I have is something I'll protect with everything I've got."

"What's so good about her?" Selena shrieked. "She's a stupid woman who would give up her dreams for a man! Her situation today isn't entirely my fault; it's because of her own foolish decisions. Even if I hadn't guided her to meet Adrian, the fact that her mother's heart was a match for old Mrs. Blackwell meant they would have gotten entangled anyway."

Julian leaned back in his chair, his voice casual. "But if you hadn't claimed to be Adrian's sister, she never would have thought to force the marriage."

"At that time, she was researching Y-2. You saw that, didn't you? That's why you kept up the act of being his sister, which made her decide to take that gamble."

"That's just how she is. She's always been brave enough to fight for what she wants and accepts whatever happens, good or bad. And she always finds a way to live better because of it."

He glanced at Selena with disdain. "You call her stupid for a man, but when she realized her mistake, she pulled away. Look at you. You're so stupid you're about to lose your life over one."

Selena's vision went black, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She was furious, but she couldn't win an argument with Julian.

"Get a doctor to check on her," Julian ordered calmly. "If anything happens to her, that dog Adrian will definitely make trouble."

He might hold on to Isabel and refuse to let her go.

Then everything he had done would be for nothing.

Isabel managed to get a decent night's sleep.

There was nothing for her to worry about.

At least Adrian wouldn't kill her.

It was just a matter of physical intimacy.

That wasn't important. What was important was for her to conserve her energy and keep her wits about her.

Even if she couldn't escape on her own, when Julian or Evelyn came for her, she wouldn't be a burden.

But being naked was still deeply uncomfortable.

Flexing her arm, which was numb from the chain, she wrapped the blanket around herself and got up to go to the bathroom.

Isabel fell silent. She turned, walked back, and opened the closet door.

But it was filled with his clothes.

There wasn't a single piece of women's clothing in sight.

She felt like he was toying with her. "How am I supposed to wear this? Selena was here with you for so long. Surely she must have left some clothes behind!"

Adrian didn't mention Selena. He simply said, "What's wrong with my clothes?"

"You've worn them before."

"..."

Soon after they were married, she and Adrian had slept together with old Mrs. Blackwell's 'help,' and she had quickly found out she was pregnant.

After giving birth and recovering, she felt a distance between them.

When he was at Halcyon Hills Residence, she had tried to seduce him.

This included wearing his shirts and other similar attempts.
