Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 91

Not only was Isabel frozen in shock, but Selena was equally stunned.

Only old Mr. Reed seemed relatively calm, glancing over before heading back into the cabin.

He wasn't getting involved in the affairs of young people.

In that moment, even the mountain breeze seemed to stop.

The very flow of air felt sluggish.

Isabel's eyes widened to their absolute limit.

During their six years of marriage, aside from the one time arranged by old Mrs. Blackwell that resulted in her lucky pregnancy, they had never shared any intimate moments.

She had wanted to, but his coldness had always pushed her away.

After years of trying every trick in the book to get closer to him, she had failed.

So, right now, she had no idea how to process her shock, her bewilderment, her utter confusion.

In the end, all she felt was a profound sense of absurdity.

Her voice was icy as she spoke. "What are you doing?"

Adrian released her hand, swallowed the bite of flatbread, and raised his right hand to wipe a sesame seed from the corner of his mouth with his thumb.

Only then did he speak.

His voice, compared to how he usually spoke to Isabel, had a slight change.

While still cool, it wasn't as frigid.

It even had a hint of warmth.

"Selena's experiment is very important. Don't be difficult about this. Name your price."

“...”

Isabel's brain spun until it practically sparked before she understood what he meant.

No wonder he had been acting strangely all morning, even lighting incense at her grandmother's grave.

It was all for Selena. He was using his good looks to manipulate her!

After seeing her here with old Mr. Reed last night, it wouldn't have taken him long to figure out how they knew each other.
