Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 272

Martha wouldn't dare eat at the same table as Adrian, so she quickly brought her plate to the living room.

"You should eat something. You'll have no energy if you starve yourself."

Isabel had thought that after everything that had happened with Adrian, she wouldn't lose her temper anymore.

And yet, he could so easily...

Wait.

Isabel's eyes widened in an instant as she looked at Martha. "What did I just say?"

"You said your right hand was ruined because of me." Adrian walked over, his gaze deep and dark as he stared at her. "Isabel, are you going to keep pretending to be Isabel Ashford?"

"..."

She'd been careless.

In truth, seeing Martha had already started to expose her.

It was a stark reminder that one must learn to stay calm.

Losing your cool never did any good.

Isabel had no choice but to bluff. "I just feel it's unfair to her."

"I heard about what happened from my husband, Julian, and I just got angry for a moment."

Adrian made no comment. Seeing that she was eating, he turned and went back to the dining table.

Just as he was about to sit, Shadow hurried in.

"Mr. Blackwell, Julian is at the gate of the Grey Zone."

"He has Selena with him."

Adrian's expression remained unchanged. "No rush. Wait until I've finished my meal."

Shadow withdrew.

Isabel's gaze met his for a few seconds.

Though she hadn't heard what was said, she had a strong feeling that Julian and Edmund had arrived.

It was a relief to know Julian was safe, even if he couldn't get her out.

She truly owed him so much.

Outside the Grey Zone gate.

Julian had anticipated this and came fully equipped.

He pitched a tent right at the entrance. They had been in such a rush to get here that they hadn't eaten.

He set up a pot and started cooking.
