How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 61

Morwenna froze for a few seconds before abruptly standing up.

Her voice was a bit stiff as she said, "Good morning. I'll go make breakfast."

With that, Morwenna quickly left the room.

Stuart frowned slightly.

Morwenna usually didn’t hold grudges. No matter how much he had troubled her before, she would still greet him with a beaming smile.

Stuart didn’t usually care much about how Morwenna felt. He just needed that soothing presence she brought.

But now, Morwenna was avoiding him with her smile gone.

Stuart felt an inexplicable irritation.

Thinking about the upcoming party, he smirked. He hadn’t even started his plans, and here she was, already upset.

But Morwenna wasn’t really upset. She hardly ever got angry with her benefactor.

She just didn’t know how to face Stuart.

There were many things she couldn’t understand.

The atmosphere between them grew tense over the next two days.

Usually, Morwenna was chatty, but now that she had quieted down. The whole house seemed to fall silent.

Stuart was always up and about, barely home from dawn till dusk.

His busyness stemmed from Norbert withdrawing his blatant favoritism. The Hetfield family was vast and many were ambitious. Previously, it was only with Norbert’s full support that Stuart could firmly control the family’s affairs.

Now that Norbert had stepped back, those with ambitions began to stir with complications multiplied.

Stuart knew why Mr. Hetfield was acting this way. It was all for Morwenna.

He couldn’t fathom what spell Morwenna had cast on Norbert.
