Selena watched everything unfold on a nearby monitor.
Lately, she’d been feeling that something was off.
But seeing how worried he was about her safety, how he wouldn’t leave until she was safely inside, she figured everything was probably fine.
Still, Isabel’s reaction had certainly surprised her.
How could someone who loved Adrian so much actually go through with a divorce?
According to her plan, Isabel should have been back at Halcyon Hills Residence by now, begging Adrian to take her back.
And that right hand of hers... she still wasn't sure about the extent of the recovery.
From the way she was playing the bean bag toss at the kindergarten today, it seemed to be healing quite well.
She was just lucky to have found old Mr. Reed to treat her.
But even if it healed completely, she’d never be able to catch up to Selena's progress on the Y-2 project.
However, if they really did get divorced, it would be more troublesome than the Y-2 project itself.
She needed to come up with a plan first.

After dropping Leo off with his grandparents, Isabel went to book a hotel room for Julian.
But Julian said he needed to return to Aurelia City.
In that case, Isabel wasn't going to interfere. "Have a safe trip."
Julian suddenly pulled her into a brief hug.
He released her so quickly that Isabel barely had time to react.
He was already in his car, pulling away.
The window rolled down, and an unusually pale hand waved at her. "Don't forget, dear. Get that divorce sorted out quickly."
Isabel wished she could.
She turned and started walking home.
Fumbling for her keys, she wondered how she could speed up the divorce process.
If Adrian kept refusing, should she approach old Mrs. Blackwell?
After all, old Mrs. Blackwell already knew, so it wouldn't be a shock to her system.
"Isabel."
*Clatter.*
Just as Isabel found her key, the sudden sound made it slip from her grasp.
Without even looking at the person standing at her door, she bent down to pick it up.
