How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 187

Stuart's kiss was overwhelming, enveloping Morwenna completely.

Wide-eyed, Morwenna's face suffused with red as tears welled up, and she struggled to breathe until Stuart finally let her go.

His eyes sparkled with a deep intensity, like stars twinkling in the night sky, his voice mature and slightly beguiling as he said, "There, it's not too bitter. I'll hold it for you, just drink up."

"Okay," she murmured.

Dazed, Morwenna gulped down the herbal tea from the cup Stuart held.

After finishing it, she looked up at Stuart, and it hit her what had just happened.

With a gasp, Morwenna retreated under her covers, pulling the blanket over her head.

Stuart had kissed her.

She thought about it and couldn't help but smile.

She had hoped for some kind of reciprocity from Stuart, and here it was.

It wasn’t just care; he must like her a bit too, she thought, her face turning crimson.

Suddenly, the blanket was pulled back, and Morwenna’s eyes, big and teary, met Stuart’s as her face flushed like a tucked-away cherry.

Stuart’s voice lost its usual detachment, carrying a barely-there smile, “Don’t hide under the blanket, you need to breathe.”

Morwenna wanted to dive back under the covers...

Oh, the infuriating charm of this man!

...

Meanwhile, in downtown Rosefrost Hollow.

Mr. White received Morwenna’s call about taking a few days off without much thought.
