How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 25

Morwenna's eyes sparkled, and suddenly, she flashed a grin.

With a sweet smile, she said, "Sir, I accept your apology."

Morwenna was one to respond better to kindness than to confrontation.

If Stuart went head-to-head with her, she wouldn't back down.

But since Stuart had swallowed his pride and apologized, she figured she could let the past be the past.

It was because Stuart was Norbert's grandson, and she had a higher tolerance for Stuart than most.

Stuart breathed a sigh of relief, his lips curving slightly. "Come back with me to Windcharm Villas."

He only had one purpose for being there, which was to take her back.

He didn't have any affection for this girl or enjoy dealing with this annoying situation. Apologizing was merely a means to an end.

It was easier than Fletcher had made it seem.

However, the next moment, Morwenna shook her head.

"Sir, I won't go back with you. I've rented a place here. I didn’t know you were forced into this marriage. I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused during this time. I know you can't stand me, and I'll bring up the divorce talk with Norbert when the time is right."

Morwenna was remarkably calm.

She no longer needed to foster any marital connection with Stuart. She could look at him with complete tranquility.

It was like looking at a movie star on a poster, which was pleasant to the eye but irrelevant to her.

Stuart's smile turned icy.

Morwenna sensed the man opposite her might be angry, but his moods were so erratic that it was hard to tell. Sometimes, his smiles were angry, too.

Morwenna said a bit nervously, "Sir, anything else? If not, I’ll continue my meal."

Stuart's tone was chilly. "No."

Morwenna smiled, waved at him, and then unhesitatingly closed the door.

Stuart stood at the doorway, his face clouded over, staring at the firmly shut door.
