How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 225

Morwenna was utterly flabbergasted.

How could they be so casual about it?

And to suggest Stuart choose between her and this other girl?

Such a proposition completely rocked Morwenna's traditional, honest-to-goodness world. For her, matters of the heart, be it marriage or intimacy, were to remain between two people alone, pure and unsullied.

The scene unfolding before her was something she couldn't fathom, let alone accept.

The usually docile Morwenna, who had allowed Stuart to hold her, began to struggle. With a strong push, she freed herself from Stuart's embrace, turned on her heel without a word, and started to walk away.

Stuart reached out to stop her, but Morwenna deftly sidestepped his attempt.

Fletcher, hand over his eyes in dismay, hadn't anticipated things taking such a turn. Normally, a bit of teasing was all in good fun.

But today was different—Morwenna was here today! If she walked out now, Stuart would have their heads.

Rushing to the door, Fletcher blocked her path, his charm oozing as he said with a grin that was all teeth, “Hold up, Morwenna, wait a minute. It’s all a big joke, don’t leave just yet. We can explain—no, your man can explain.”

Morwenna's face flushed with irritation as she snapped, “Dr. Vaughn, step aside!”

She had always thought highly of Fletcher, who had been nothing but kind and helpful to her. If not for that, she might have simply brushed past him.

This was one of the rare times Morwenna showed her anger.

Stuart’s face darkened, his usual laid-back demeanor replaced by a brooding, almost menacing look.

The others in the room, all too familiar with Stuart’s moods, sensed the tide turning. They were a sharp bunch, well-acquainted with Stuart’s circle to know when a line had been crossed.
