Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 277

Julian's private jet wasn't headed back to Aurelia City.

Instead, it landed in the Fiorhaven Principality, where he dropped Isabel off with the Ashford family.

Isabel was confused. "Did something happen?"

"Nothing. I just want to renovate my villa in Aurelia City and reorganize my staff. Keep the mad dogs from getting in."

Isabel had a gut feeling it was related to Adrian. "You and Selena?"

"What are you thinking?" Julian laughed. "Even though we're just like brother and sister, since we're getting married, I'll naturally be a faithful husband. Don't let your imagination run wild. Besides, Miles mentioned the wedding preparations are almost done, but there are a few things he needs to ask you about. And the wedding dress—it's a perfect time for you to try it on. Then you can just relax and wait for me to come pick you up."

"Is the child not staying with me?"

"Nope, I'm taking him with me for something."

Isabel remembered the fighter jets circling above the Grey Zone. She didn't press further. "Be careful."

"I'll be fine, don't worry."

As for Evelyn, Julian didn't need to make any arrangements for her.

Evelyn naturally stayed behind with the Ashford family.

The moment she helped Isabel into her wedding dress, she gasped in amazement. "You're absolutely beautiful, honey. It's a shame I'm not a man. Mr. Reed is one lucky guy."

Isabel couldn't shake a feeling of unease.

At dinner, she asked Mr. and Mrs. Ashford and Miles if anything had happened recently.

Mr. and Mrs. Ashford said no. Miles was about to say something but was silenced by a look from Mr. Ashford.

"Isabel, don't overestimate Adrian. The Durantin family is still the top family overseas. The Grey Zone might be lawless, but there are people who can keep it in check. Don't worry. The business stuff is minor. Leave it to me. You just focus on being a beautiful bride."

"By the way, shouldn't we set a date for the wedding?"

Isabel thought about her experiment's progress and asked, "Julian said there's a lab here too?"

"There is. You can use it whenever you need," Miles said. "Mr. Reed had all your things from Aurelia City sent over."

Julian led Edmund inside.

Admiral Hawke greeted him with a hug. "Julian, you move incredibly fast."

Julian joked, "If I don't move fast, I might get bitten by a mad dog and catch rabies."

Admiral replied, "I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you."

Julian said, "It's always better to be careful."

He stepped aside, revealing Edmund behind him. "You two are old friends. Say hello."

Edmund looked at Admiral Hawke and gave a cool nod.

Admiral Hawke bowed. "How have you been feeling lately, Your Highness?"

"Very well." Edmund showed none of the childlike demeanor he had around Isabel. He possessed a maturity and coldness far beyond his years.

"That's good to hear. The situation was urgent at the time, so we had to proceed that way. However, if you wish to return, I can make the arrangements."
