How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 484

"Ha! Do you even care, Stuart? Look at you now, brought down to earth. You've always been so high and mighty, and today you finally get a taste of my humility. No matter how much you love or care, she won't even spare you a glance. This is your reckoning!"

Stuart didn't believe in reckoning. All he wanted was for Morwenna to be safe.

If there were any truth to the idea of karma, he wished all the consequences would fall on him, sparing Morwenna entirely.

With a tinge of desperation, he pleaded, "Princess, please, come over here, I beg you."

Adelaide laughed through her tears, unable to control her emotions.

This was Stuart, after all!

The very Stuart who always stood aloof, never giving women a second glance!

And here he was, pleading with a woman, begging her to move to safety.

But Morwenna remained unmoved. She even stepped back, as if recalling something unpleasant. She looked up, her voice faint and ethereal due to weakness, "Stuart, when you deceived me and watched me stumble towards you with all my sincerity, what were you thinking?"

Stuart felt as though someone had seized his throat, leaving him momentarily speechless.

Back then, he had orchestrated the car accident to play the hero. Watching Morwenna willingly stay by his side, he had been smug, thinking it was so easy to make her stay.

But now, he wished he could turn back time and erase all the foolish things he had done.

"I..."

"No need to apologize. I won't forgive you," Morwenna interrupted coldly.

Stuart's words were trapped in his throat.

He appeared to be in more agony than Morwenna, nearly getting hit by Phineas's men.

Adelaide laughed through her tears, caught in a cycle of mirth and sorrow.
