How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 185

The Hetfield family had secrets—deep, dark secrets—and Morwenna had always suspected as much. But now, after hearing Stuart speak, she realized that these secrets were far more intricate than she had ever imagined.

Yara wasn't really his youngest aunt at all.

How did his real youngest aunt, who tormented Stuart so badly, die? And how was it possible for her to keep on hurting him for years?

What about Stuart's parents?

Morwenna's mind was a whirlwind of confusion, and she found herself unable to ask any more questions.

Stuart didn't continue either. It seemed he just wanted Morwenna to know about the pain he had kept silent for so long, like tearing open his own wounds to let the most trusted person take a peek.

Just then, someone pushed the door open.

Fletcher entered with his hands covering his eyes, peeking through his fingers like a mischievous fox. "Hey, Stuart and Morwenna, what are you two up to in broad daylight?" he teased.

Morwenna, still reeling from Stuart's revelations, didn't blush or react as she usually might have.

Stuart adjusted his robe, covering the scars, and stood up to glance at Fletcher, then pulled the blanket over Morwenna.

Fletcher was visibly perplexed, thinking to himself, “She’s covered with a robe and a sick gown, what could I possibly see? Why the need for a blanket?”

Ignoring Fletcher’s expression, Stuart asked in a cold tone, "Any news from the Hetfield Group?"

Fletcher glanced at Morwenna, quickly realizing that Stuart didn't intend for her to leave the conversation.

Seeing this, Fletcher went ahead, "The bait has been taken. To cover the deficit in his project, Reuben has been dipping into the company funds again. Maybe he thinks that with you gone, the Hetfield family is his for the taking, so he's getting reckless."
