How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 362

Keira immediately leaned in with concern, "Wenna, what happened this morning? I heard Sandra's voice outside while I was still in our dorm room. By the time I changed and came out, you guys had already left."

Lorna chimed in, "Did Sandra come to bully you again? Morwenna, you've got to stand up for yourself. Show her the same fight you'd show me. Sandra? She's nothing; you could knock her into next week."

Morwenna explained, "No, it wasn't like that. Sandra actually came to apologize. It's all sorted now, but it seems to have stirred up some attention. I've been getting a lot of looks today, even here in the cafeteria."

Hearing this, Lorna burst into laughter, "Morwenna, you think they're staring because of Sandra? Please, Sandra's old news. You're being watched because you've been nominated for Homecoming Queen!"

Morwenna looked up, puzzled, "What?"

"You really didn't know? Among the freshmen, it's between you and that Carolyn something. She's been publicly challenging you, saying you're not in her league."

Morwenna just nodded and continued with her meal, now understanding the curious glances.

Keira, ever the staunch supporter, quickly added, "That Carolyn whatever doesn’t hold a candle to you, Wenna."

Lorna, puzzled, asked, "Scaredy-cat, you don't know who Carolyn something is?"

Keira blushed, "I know her. Carolyn Nelson. But anyone who messes with Wenna is someone I'd rather not know."

Lorna couldn't help but laugh, "Scaredy-cat, you've gotten braver living in our dorm, haven't you?"

Keira wanted to say her courage had nothing to do with Lorna, but she kept silent.

The mention of Carolyn Nelson struck a chord with Morwenna. It took her a moment to recall that after she publicly acknowledged her affection for Stuart and received some reciprocation, some of the daughters from Rosefrost Hollow's influential families had started to stir.

Orson had mentioned two families in particular that were well-matched with the Hetfields and to watch out for.
