Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 361

Isabel stood up to pour tea for old Mr. Foster, ignoring Adrian.

Oliver, copying her, went to pour tea for Isabel.

His action made Adrian seem rather useless.

Just then, the dishes began to arrive, and he started serving her food.

"I remember you like vegetables."

Isabel indeed didn't care much for meat, as long as she got enough nutrients and protein in her diet.

She did prefer green vegetables.

And she especially loved potatoes.

Adrian took a dish of truffle mashed potatoes from the waiter and placed it in front of her.

"I love mashed potatoes too," Oliver said with a smile. "It just goes to show I'm my mother's son."

Isabel remained silent, her expression cold.

Old Mr. Foster observed the scene but said nothing, instead discussing some lab matters with Felix Lane.

The tense atmosphere was only broken when Isabel began asking Felix some questions.

"Have you been at the Tomorrow Institute since you graduated?"

"Yes, Isabel." Felix was almost docile in front of Isabel. "I also know Amanda Parker. We met at a conference before."

Isabel had been away from the field for six years, but others had continued to move forward.

She wasn't surprised they knew each other.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Mr. Foster," Felix joked, "Isabel sounds like an interviewer."

Old Mr. Foster said, "She never used to ask these things. She would just bury her head in her work. I was at ease when that good-for-nothing grandson of mine was with her, but now that her right hand is injured, she has to build her own team. She can't do it alone; she needs help."

His words weren't just for Felix Lane.

Adrian's hand paused as he was serving Isabel. He leaned closer and whispered, "If you need him, you can bring Edmund over. I won't do anything to him."

Isabel didn't touch any of the food Adrian or Oliver had put on her plate.

The dishes remained there until the meal was over, including the plate of complex and expensive truffle mashed potatoes.

To her, a simple steamed potato, eaten plain, was delicious enough.
