How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 107

Morwenna walked with her head held high, unaffected by the stares she received. Boasting a kind of poverty pride, she saw thrift as a virtue, not a problem.

Upon encountering the butler, Morwenna greeted him with a smile, "Hello."

The butler, snapping out of his momentary daze, replied, "Ms. Winslet, welcome! Please, come in."

This time, Morwenna didn't need anyone to show her the way and made her way to Claude’s room on her own.

As she stepped inside, she noticed an immediate change. The room, still dimly lit, now housed a massive bookshelf brimming with books, resembling a private library.

Holding only three books in her hand, Morwenna suddenly felt rather sheepish about her modest offering.

Claude, noticing her arrival, greeted her warmly, "Ms. Winslet, are those for me?"

Despite feeling slightly embarrassed, Morwenna handed them over, "Just a few regular books. You might already have them on your shelves."

Claude glanced at the titles and shook his head, "No, I don’t have these. I really appreciate the books you’ve brought, Ms. Winslet."

Relieved, Morwenna sighed. It was good they weren’t duplicates.

Claude truly cherished them, treating them as a precious gift—the first he had received from anyone.

Morwenna began her tutoring session, and Claude, abandoning his usual skepticism about learning, listened attentively. He thought to himself that having Morwenna as his tutor wasn’t so bad.

After teaching for a while, Morwenna felt a bit thirsty and was about to ask for some water when the door opened, and a servant entered, placing two beautifully colored drinks and an array of delicate pastries on the table.

Morwenna was momentarily stunned. Her lunch had been a simple bread roll, and although she now had some money, she was saving hard to fund repairs for her school.
