How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 74

Adelaide was bound to get dizzy from this mess.

Norbert ignored the cluster of eager young faces around him.

He turned his attention to the group of older folks standing behind him, his voice firm but gentle, "You should really look out for Wenna when you see her, keep her safe."

Unlike the timid youths, the seniors were quick to respond, their voices overlapping in agreement.

"Of course, Norbert. Wenna's a sweetheart. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, we'd have looked out for her anyway."

"Wenna, did you get into Rosefrost University? Freshman year starting soon? Here, take down my grandson's number. He's a senior at Rosefrost University. If you have any trouble at school, feel free to ask him for help."

Norbert contorted his face in frustration. "That won't be necessary!"

Norbert was blatantly trying to support Morwenna.

If only Wenna were open about their relationship, Norbert would proudly declare her as the chosen wife for Stuart then and there.

Seeing how fiercely Norbert defended Morwenna, a wave of envy washed over the younger crowd.

They knew how prestigious it was just to attend this gathering, let alone receive such preferential treatment.

Adelaide watched Morwenna with a glare that could slice through steel.

Adelaide felt the prickling gaze of everyone around her, as sharp as thorns.

Morwenna, technically, wasn't even supposed to be at this dinner.

If it came down to it, Norbert would save her first from any disaster. It was a fact he made sure everyone noticed, emphasizing his affection and priority.

Adelaide intended to make Morwenna the laughingstock of the evening, but Norbert's protective stance flipped the script, leaving Adelaide the butt of the joke instead.

Frozen in place, Adelaide felt an overwhelming urge to vanish from the scene, yet her pride anchored her to the spot.
