How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 403

After finishing her words, Lorna felt the small hand clasping her waist tighten even further.

The journey that should have taken over an hour, Lorna managed to cut down to thirty-five minutes, racing her beloved motorcycle to the gates of Hetfield's Homestead to drop Morwenna off.

Without a second thought for her prized ride, Lorna was quick on Morwenna's heels, bolting into the grand estate.

The pair made a beeline for Norbert's room, but their path was abruptly blocked by several unfamiliar bodyguards in the hallway.

"Move!" Morwenna's voice was hoarse with urgency.

The bodyguards remained unmoved.

In the next moment, a few familiar faces emerged from behind the guards – Phineas, Sabrina, and a visibly pregnant Yara.

Morwenna's gaze turned icy; these were the people her grandfather had banished, and they had no business being here.

Phineas said sternly, "What's with the commotion this late at night? Typical country manners."

Locking eyes with Phineas, Morwenna clenched her fists, barely containing her rage, and said through gritted teeth, "I need to see Norbert Hetfield!"

Phineas flatly refused, "No, Norbert has retired for the night and has no interest in seeing you."

Morwenna was about to force her way through.

Yara, hand on her hip, sneered, "Oh, you think you can just barge in? Listen here, girl, we are the Hetfields, you're nothing but an outsider. Causing a scene like this, believe me, if you don't stop, we'll have you thrown out."

Morwenna was desperate for any news on Norbert; she had been out of touch due to a broken phone and only caught wind of the trouble late in the evening. How was Norbert now?

She was about to rush forward when Lorna grabbed her.

In a hushed tone, Lorna whispered, "Morwenna, stay calm. Rash actions won't solve anything. If you go in recklessly, you won't achieve what you're here to do."

Lorna's words were a splash of cold water, bringing Morwenna back to her senses.

She noticed the absence of Orson and Oswald, even the staff seemed completely changed, strangers in place of the familiar faces she knew.

Though she could handle a few individuals, she stood no chance against this many.
