How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 317

Adelaide felt like she was losing her mind. She couldn't stomach Stuart's deference, yet she couldn't help but fantasize that she was the one in his arms. The mere thought of Stuart, a man who seemed to tower above everyone, kneeling at her feet made her cheeks flush uncontrollably. Her daydream was abruptly cut short by a noise in the room.
