Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 384

Even someone as skilled as Julian at smoothing things over couldn’t fix the mood.

Isabel grabbed his arm, about to ask for his help in investigating, when the door opened again.

Adrian entered, bringing a gust of wind and snow with him.

Absorbed in the news Catherine had dropped, no one had noticed it had started snowing outside.

Adrian’s appearance didn’t cause much of a stir. Everyone in the room was on Isabel’s side and disliked him.

They were only concerned about Isabel’s emotional state.

Adrian’s gaze fell on the hand Isabel had on Julian’s arm. His eyes darkened, and he strode toward them.

Isabel knew he would make a move and wasn't surprised. She continued talking to Julian.

But he grabbed her arm and pulled her away.

“Julian finally gets to spend the holiday with his mother, and the Caldwell family has taken you back in. What are you doing crashing someone else’s party?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grunted and let go of Isabel as if he’d been shocked.

The hand that had grabbed her was trembling slightly. A flash of confusion crossed his eyes, but he quickly figured it out.

“No wonder you were able to have Dr. Lawson give me X-1.”

“Specially made for you,” Isabel said coolly. “Like it?”

“Do you enjoy this feeling of getting your hopes up only to have them crushed, over and over again?”

Adrian actually smiled, a rare sight.

But no matter how handsome his face was, his smile was chilling.

“I love it.”

He grabbed her again, ignoring the pain in his hand, and dragged her toward the dining table.

Beads of sweat formed on the tip of his nose, and his lips had grown pale.

“Since my wife is hosting everyone, it’s only right that her husband also plays the part of a good host.”

He picked up Isabel’s wine glass. “Welcome, everyone.”

Catherine’s visit had already ruined their appetites.

Now, with Adrian’s arrival, the New Year's Eve dinner was completely unsalvageable.

But Isabel was counting down.
