Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 5

At Riverstone Public Hospital, Adrian waited until Selena had fallen asleep before carrying a slumbering Oliver back to Halcyon Hills Residence. Martha followed behind with their things.

Adrian went upstairs first to put Oliver to bed. He then headed to the master bedroom to shower and change into his loungewear. Just then, Martha came rushing up the stairs in a panic.

"Mr. Blackwell!"

Adrian’s brow furrowed in annoyance. "Have you forgotten your manners?"

Martha held out the divorce agreement.

Adrian glanced at it while undoing his tie. A divorce agreement? He scoffed. "Throw it out."

"But Mrs. Blackwell..." Martha hesitated.

Adrian’s sharp gaze cut to her. "Remember your place. And I don't want my grandmother hearing a word about this."

"Yes, sir..." Martha was, after all, an employee. She couldn't interfere. She threw the papers in the trash, carefully put the wedding ring away, and tucked the bank card and car keys into a small drawer. It wasn't just Adrian who thought Isabel wouldn't really go through with it; Martha didn't believe it either. After all, they had all seen how deeply Isabel had loved Adrian for the past six years.

Upstairs in the master bedroom, Adrian took his pajamas into the bathroom. He noticed something seemed to be missing from the vanity. And earlier, when he grabbed his pajamas, the closet had seemed a bit emptier. He paid it no mind. He was certain she'd be back soon enough.

At Dominion Military Hospital, Isabel saw Dylan still hadn't left after she finished her meal. "Are you staying the night?" she asked.
