Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 344

“Selena is useless to me. If you’re sure you want to give her up, I’ll call my dear mother right now.”

Adrian’s brow furrowed instantly as he remembered the three-day deadline.

Julian, knowing he had hit a nerve, added, “What you’re doing right now is really pathetic.”

“It’s none of your business.” Adrian’s composure, which had been rock-solid, began to crack. His voice was ice. “As long as this marriage isn’t over, what can you do?”

“What if,” he paused deliberately, “I don’t want Selena anymore? What would you do then?”

“Julian,” Isabel suddenly called out. “Why did you come out here?”

Her eyes were fixed on Julian, and she hurried over to him, not noticing how Adrian’s back had gone rigid.

But Julian noticed. He wondered, could Adrian really give up Selena for Isabel? If so, he might be willing to drag this out a little longer.

“It’s nothing.” Julian took her hand and looked at Adrian. “What was Mr. Blackwell just saying? My dear Isabel called out to me, and I didn’t quite hear. Perhaps you could repeat it?”

Adrian’s lips tightened. He didn’t repeat himself as requested. Instead, he reached for Isabel.

Isabel sidestepped his hand. “The child is awake. You can have Dr. Lawson check on him. I’ve already checked his vitals, and they’re stable. He just needs to rest after such a severe trauma. It’s normal for him to be sleepy.”

Adrian’s hand closed on empty air. He clenched his fist, his voice tight with a barely perceptible tension. “I can withdraw the divorce application at any time.”

That wasn’t what he had intended to say, but for some reason, those were the words that came out.

Julian let out an unkind laugh, which grew louder and more intense.

Isabel, not understanding, said, “Calm down, you’ll tear your stitches.”
