How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 212

Morwenna could easily fund the construction of dozens of community centers for children, if she wanted to.

Shaking her head with earnest, Morwenna said, "I haven't touched the money in that account. I can earn my own way, Stuart. I'll pay you back what I borrowed as soon as possible. I'm not the type to ask for handouts."

Melvin always said, dignity comes from standing on your own two feet, learning, and proving your worth.

Melvin's mission was to help students from secluded areas, not to make them dependent, but to let them flourish on their own.

Stuart saw the resolve in Morwenna's eyes and knew that there were some things she was stubbornly passionate about.

He didn't respond, just fiddled with his smartphone.

Morwenna thought Stuart was upset and fell silent, not wanting to disturb the peace that had just settled between them.

With time, Morwenna realized that her and Stuart's personalities, beliefs, and interests rarely aligned, often leading to friction.

She also recognized her attraction to Stuart was only surface-deep.

Stuart pulled up a search engine on his phone.

He typed, "Girlfriend doesn't want my money and prefers to work instead. What should I do?"

The responses came quickly.

"One man's loss is another man's treasure. Treat her well. Maybe she values emotional connection over material wealth. Try cooking dinner or doing laundry to show you care."

"Your girlfriend sounds independent and thoughtful. She deserves her own space without interference. Learn to respect that."
