Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 356

Adrian watched him bustling back and forth, struggling with the tray. "Take them one at a time," he advised. "Have Martha help you."

Oliver's eyes darted around. "Dad, can you help me?"

"No," Adrian refused. "I have a call to make. You and Martha can take it up."

She had just given him the cold shoulder. If he went up, she definitely wouldn't eat and would probably dump the food on his head.

Oliver didn't understand the complexities of the adults' relationship.

He only knew that his mom was angry with his dad, so it was probably best they didn't interact for now.

He and Martha carried the food upstairs.

Isabel was finding it hard to sleep in her clothes, so she got up to change into pajamas.

There was no need to torture herself.

That's when she saw Oliver and Martha bringing the food in.

"I said I'm not eating."

"You should eat something," Martha said. "You'll need your strength."

As she leaned in to set down the tray, she gave Isabel a meaningful look and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. After they're asleep, I'll..."

Isabel shook her head at her. "I'll handle it. Please don't get involved."

Adrian was clearly acting like a madman right now, and anyone who tried to help her would suffer the consequences.

She couldn't let innocent people get dragged into her problems.

"Trust me."

Martha sighed. "But you still have to eat."

"I'll eat," Isabel said. "But I can't eat this much. I'll just have some of the noodles."

"You can take the rest down."

Martha said, "You eat first. I'll take care of this when you're done."

Oliver didn't know what they were talking about. He moved closer. "Mom, I'll peel the shrimp for you."

"Martha taught me. I'm really good at it now."

He proceeded to demonstrate for her.
