Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 441

The following days passed.

Isabel’s main job was teaching Edmund how to handle test tubes and mix compounds.

His hands were quite steady, but not yet at her level.

It wasn't something that could be rushed. When it was time to relax, they made sure to relax.

Evelyn, heartbroken and divorced, was also taking the time to unwind with them.

One day, while they were at an amusement park, Isabel got a call from Daniel.

“Mrs. Blackwell, would you be available to go on a business trip with me? Someone in the network wants to meet you.”

“He manages a rather remote area. The people there are difficult to deal with. He's very important.”

Isabel said, “I just sell medicine. If they don’t want it, there’s no need to force them. I don’t need to meet this person.”

Daniel replied, “Of course they want to live. It’s just that they're isolated and have been scammed before. Some were even tricked into having their organs harvested, so…”

Isabel checked the time and asked, “How many days?”

“This isn't you and Adrian trying to run out the clock on the cooling-off period for the divorce, is it?”

Daniel was horrified. “I wouldn’t dare.”

“But you’re still calling me Mrs. Blackwell.”

Daniel fell silent.

He immediately corrected himself. “Ms. Hayes, it’s two days of travel plus two days there. A week at most. You’ll be back in plenty of time to file the divorce papers with Mr. Blackwell, I swear. I’m not deceiving you. This network requires meeting with all the regional heads to build trust. Thanks to Mr. Blackwell’s reputation, this is the only stubborn one left.”

Isabel agreed.

She told Evelyn about it and packed some things when she got home that evening.

“You don’t need me to go with you?”

“No, you just take care of the kids,” Isabel said, closing her suitcase. “There’s not much you need to do. Just drop them off at the research institute every day.”

“Mr. Blackwell isn’t as all-powerful as you might think just because of the Blackwell family name.”

“The Blackwell name doesn’t carry as much weight in overseas markets. Besides, the Blackwell Group is an old, established company. After a century, many of its industries are facing obsolescence or need to be restructured. These things can’t be solved just by relying on the family’s reputation.”

“They want Mr. Blackwell for his abilities.”

Isabel gave him a faint, knowing smile. “You don’t have to praise him that much. I’m well aware of his abilities. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost my head back then.”

“The reason we’ve come to this point has nothing to do with his professional competence.”

Daniel helped Isabel with her luggage, nodding repeatedly. “Yes, Mr. Blackwell has a brilliant mind. As for everything else… he still has a lot to learn.”

...

After landing at the airport, they had to take a high-speed train and then a long-distance bus.

Evelyn complained endlessly. Although she had spent time in the countryside before, she had never traveled on such difficult, winding roads. The constant ups and downs made her stomach churn.
