How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 82

Fletcher listened to Morwenna's pleading tone and felt a pang in his heart.

To think she was still worried about Stuart after how he had treated her.

Despite himself, Fletcher spoke up in Stuart's defense, "Wenna, don't take today too hard. When Adelaide was a child, she saved Stuart's life. There was an accident afterwards, and she fell very ill. Stuart rushed to her aid because he feared something might happen to her."

Morwenna responded gently, "Yeah, I get it. I'm not upset."

She said she wasn't upset, but Fletcher could hear a trace of sadness in her voice.

Unable to bear seeing the young girl sad, Fletcher tried to lighten the mood, "By the way, Wenna, how old are you now? I heard you just graduated from high school. Are you of age yet to be married to Stuart?"

He now refrained from calling her Mrs. Hetfield, worrying it might upset her.

Morwenna honestly replied, "I just turned 20 last month. We didn’t have much money growing up, so I started school a couple of years late."

Fletcher sank his heart. Every time he interacted with Morwenna, he cursed himself and Stuart.

Here was a girl who had once struggled even to pay her school fees.

Stuart must be out of his mind to think she was manipulative.

He decided it was time to give Stuart a piece of his mind!

After hanging up the phone, Morwenna finally felt calm enough to sleep.

She woke up at six in the morning, bright and alert.

Just as she finished freshening up, her phone began to ring.

Morwenna didn’t have many contacts, so she was curious about who could be calling so early.
