Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 105

“Don’t feel like moving,” Julian said. “I didn’t sleep well at my grandfather’s place anyway, so I’m used to it. Don’t bother me.”

Isabel was just trying to be helpful. If he didn’t appreciate it, fine.

She turned and went back to the master bedroom to read.

Even though she and Julian were good friends with no romantic feelings, there was still a propriety to be maintained between a man and a woman.

After closing the bedroom door, Isabel locked it.

The master bedroom didn't have an air conditioner; there was only one unit in the living room.

Back when she was kicked out, she didn’t have much money. She was lucky to have a place to stay at all.

She found her small portable fan.

Thankfully, she wasn't very sensitive to the heat.

In the living room,

The sound of the lock clicking made the man open his eyes.

His usually playful eyes were now dark and cold.

There was no trace of his usual carefree demeanor.

He was already inside the apartment, and she was just now thinking of being cautious?

He had to admit it.

This girl...

was actually kind of cute.

Isabel didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up, the book was still resting on her face.

An alert chimed from her phone.

She quickly got up to wash.

As she stepped out of the master bedroom,

she remembered there was someone else outside.

She quickly ducked back in and changed out of her nightgown.

She only came out after she was fully dressed.

But Julian was nowhere to be seen in the living room.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to push open the bathroom door,

it swung open from the inside.

A wave of warm, humid air washed over her.

She saw the man walking out with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

She immediately spun around.

“Why are you...”

Julian, on the other hand, was perfectly calm. “Forgot to grab a change of clothes.”

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

“Sir, I’m here with your clothes.”

Isabel felt a poke on the back of her head. “Go get the door.”
