How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 21

Morwenna had no clue what Stuart was up to. She was busy house-hunting.

She thought she'd drawn a line under their relationship for good.

The rent in Rosefrost Hollow was sky-high, almost making her wish she could move into the dorms early.

Eventually, she found a place to share an old apartment near the university.

The thirty-square-meter space came with a shared bathroom in the hallway. Morwenna's part of the rent was only seven hundred a month if sleeping in the living room. She could pay the rent monthly.

That was the cheapest option Morwenna could find.

Most of her scholarship money had gone to a rural school, and between groceries and other expenses, she had only nine hundred left in her bank account. After paying rent, only two hundred remained.

Biting the bullet, Morwenna paid the landlord.

With Monday around the corner, she could start her job at the fish market. If she scrimped, the two hundred should last until her next paycheck.

Now that she was moving out, she wouldn't have to look after Stuart, which freed up much of her time.

After securing the apartment, Morwenna returned to Windcharm Villas to pack.

She had just zipped up her last suitcase when the doorbell rang.

“Stuart should be sleeping at this hour.” she thought but answered the door anyway.

Standing there was a woman in a flowing white mermaid dress.

Her soft curls tumbled down to her waist, her eyes sharp and beautiful, accentuated by her stylish stilettos.

The woman gave Morwenna a gentle smile. "You must be Morwenna. I'm Adelaide Gallagher, Stuart's... good friend."

The name clicked. Morwenna had heard the name Adelaide, always buzzed about as the perfect girl for Stuart.
