Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 179

After giving birth to Oliver, Isabel had lost her uterus. She would never have another child of her own.

She used to think that he was just a child, young and impressionable, imitating the adults around him. It wasn't necessarily his fault.

But after everything that had happened, she felt that a person's true nature doesn't change.

Just as Adrian would never love her.

Even though he was her own son, the moment he chose Selena, her maternal love for him had withered.

“Isabel, don’t misunderstand.” After a long silence from Isabel’s end, Old Mrs. Blackwell spoke again. “I’m not saying this to make you forgive anyone. No one has the right to forgive those who hurt you on your behalf. That includes me. If I’ve hurt you, you don’t have to spare my feelings. You can resent me if you wish. But my feelings won’t change the fact that I’m protecting your mother’s heart.”

“I’m only saying this because he is my great-grandson. I can’t just watch him refuse to eat and stay sick. So I wanted to ask you what kind of noodles he likes, and how to make them.”

Isabel heard the carefulness in Old Mrs. Blackwell's voice and was puzzled. “Martha knows how to make them.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell sighed. “Martha is loyal to you. When you… died, she left. I offered her a raise, but she refused to stay.”

A nanny at the Blackwell estate earned a generous salary. And Martha had been Old Mrs. Blackwell’s own staff, sent specifically to care for Isabel. She had been with the Blackwell family for many years.

It would be difficult for her to find another employer as generous.

Especially at her age.

In today’s world, people preferred younger nannies.

“Grandma, I’ll talk to Susan.”

“Just tell me. I’m not so old that I can’t even enter a kitchen. It’s just a bowl of noodles.”

Isabel explained the method to Old Mrs. Blackwell.

There wasn’t much to it, really.

It was just that she always hand-rolled the noodles herself.
