How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 80

Stuart had been restless, ignoring his company and focusing entirely on digging into Morwenna’s past.

Driven by a need for absolute certainty, he sent people to the small town where Morwenna grew up, intent on uncovering every detail of her life.

Unable to sleep, he decided to stay awake.

In the dead of night, the atmosphere at Windcharm Villas grew tense as Stuart became increasingly aggressive, a testament to the profound impact Morwenna had on him. He had grown dependent on the tranquility she brought him, fearing what might happen if she ever discovered his vulnerabilities and used them against him.

In a fleeting moment, Stuart even entertained the thought of destroying Morwenna. He turned on every light at Windcharm Villas. The darkness seemed too apt a breeding ground for his darkest thoughts.

Looking out from his second-floor window, Stuart noticed a patch in the garden where the first sprouts of what Morwenna had planted. There were cabbages or maybe tomatoes beginning to emerge. The fragile green shoots reminded him of Morwenna herself who was delicate yet resilient. This sight calmed his turmoil.

Meanwhile, Adelaide returned home, dispirited and anxious, not because of Norbert’s usual cold demeanor, but because of the changes she sensed in Stuart.
