How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 389

Why was Stuart Hetfield so close with Morwenna Winslet? Did they know each other outside of work? That didn't seem likely, considering Morwenna was a diligent worker. Meanwhile, Stuart was the head of the Hetfield Group!

Stuart casually brushed Morwenna's hair aside, his movements so natural, as if he'd done it a thousand times before, yet it was as if it was no big deal. He was jealous, he was staking his claim, all while drawing closer to Morwenna to suppress the murderous rage boiling inside him. For a moment, he genuinely wanted to throttle Claude.

Morwenna froze, her heartbeat skyrocketing. Sure, Stuart had been more intimate with her before, but showing affection publicly like this was a first. But she didn't want their relationship exposed. Hiding her hands behind her back, she couldn't help but pinch Stuart's waist.

Before, Stuart wouldn't acknowledge their relationship, making her sneak around to see him. Now, when she wanted to avoid trouble, Stuart was ever-present, closing in without a care. Feeling the pinch, Stuart remained expressionless. But Morwenna sensed that Stuart's rage, spurred by Claude, had simmered down a tad. She gently patted Stuart's back twice more.

From the moment they left the shop, Stuart's gaze never fell on Claude; his peripheral vision was locked on Morwenna. Only by focusing on her could he somewhat quell the storm raging inside him, avoiding making a scene. Bystanders assumed it was because of Barclay Clark and Campbell Green's significant clout that they could have both Claude and Stuart present. Little did they know, without Morwenna, Stuart and Claude would never appear together.

At that moment, Morwenna caught the shocked looks of everyone, and she wanted to explain but didn't even know where to start. She was terrible at lying; she and Stuart were, in fact, married. How could she possibly explain that?

Then, she heard the whispers of the surrounding crowd.

"Don't make such a fuss, guys. Mr. Hetfield is a friend of Campbell's. Campbell must have introduced Mr. Hetfield to Morwenna. What’s so wrong about fixing someone’s hair?"
