How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 318

Stuart had just finished freshening up when he noticed Morwenna looking particularly vexed. "Princess, are you hungry?" he asked, using the playful nickname he had affectionately bestowed upon her.

Morwenna, her thoughts preoccupied with worries, nodded absently, not fully catching Stuart's question.

Seeing her apparent hunger, and without even changing out of his robe, Stuart strode over to Morwenna and, with one arm, scooped her up and headed for the door.

"What are you doing, Stuart? Why are you carrying me?" Morwenna exclaimed, a mix of surprise and embarrassment coloring her tone.

"It's because you've twisted your ankle. I'm taking you downstairs," Stuart explained as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Morwenna's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Put me down, what if Norbert Hetfield sees us?"

"I won't," Stuart replied, his tone firm.

Morwenna's frustration turned to shock when she noticed someone standing downstairs.

Why was Adelaide here?

Adelaide's gaze locked onto Stuart carrying Morwenna down the stairs, her nails digging into her palms with barely concealed jealousy.

Stuart, typically reserved and distant, now seemed approachable and relaxed in his robe, which only served to intensify Adelaide's feelings.

Sensing Morwenna stiffen in his arms, Stuart followed her gaze, his eyes narrowing at the sight of Adelaide.

"Adelaide, what are you doing here?" His voice was cold, hinting at danger.

Adelaide stepped back, looking somewhat forlorn, as if Stuart's presence intimidated her.
