Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 56

After Oliver started spending more time with him, she would contact Oliver instead.

Now that Oliver could no longer serve as a messenger, she had no reason to contact Adrian.

But she had memorized his assistant’s number right after they got married.

Whenever she couldn't reach him, or when he refused to communicate but she had to relay a message from old Mrs. Blackwell, it was Daniel who acted as the intermediary.

It made her feel more like an employee than a wife.

So when she saw Daniel’s name on her screen, she assumed it was time to finalize the divorce and answered immediately. “Daniel...”

The rest of her sentence was cut off by a man’s icy voice. “Isabel, what the hell are you trying to do?”

Isabel was completely baffled. As far as she knew, she hadn't done anything to his precious darling today.

Accused out of the blue, her own temper flared. “What’s your problem?”

Adrian was unfazed, his voice remaining cold. “What do you mean by telling everyone about the divorce?”

Isabel understood now.

Mrs. Blackwell must have gone to see him.

But she was innocent in this.

She hadn't asked how Mrs. Blackwell found out.

Ultimately, the outcome was divorce, and sooner or later, all the Blackwells would know.

“What’s the big deal if your mother knows? As long as the public doesn’t find out, it’s fine. Don’t worry, no one is going to call your childhood friend a homewrecker.”

Adrian scoffed. “If you really wanted a divorce, you wouldn’t be making sure everyone knows. There’s no such thing as a secret that lasts forever. When this gets out, can you bear the responsibility?”

Isabel truly didn't understand his logic.

Why was he so fixated on this point?

If he would just finalize the divorce now and marry Selena, then even if a few rumors leaked, his status would allow him to spin the story any way he wanted.

Now, his words just fueled her anger. “Adrian, I admit my mistakes. I shouldn't have forced you to marry me, and I shouldn't have given up everything to become a housewife. But that doesn’t give you the right to attack me during our conversations!”

The more she thought, the angrier she got. “My contributions at home may not be as grand as your business deals, but you benefited from them, didn't you? Since you did, you should keep your mouth shut. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you!”

Her voice was sharper than it had ever been.

Adrian held the phone slightly away from his ear.

He glanced down and noticed the wrinkles on his black shirt.

He still didn't think what Isabel did was all that useful. They were just her attempts to please him.

If he wanted, someone else could have done it.

He just hadn't bothered to find someone else.

“I don’t care if you’re working now. Just come back to Halcyon Hills Residence tonight, and we’ll go back to how things were. I’ll forget everything that’s happened recently.”
