How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 85

Morwenna took a deep breath as she entered the house.

It was quiet downstairs.

Zoe wasn’t around either.

Morwenna set the trout she'd brought into the kitchen.

She wondered if she should just sneak in and then sneak out unnoticed.

But then she remembered her luggage was still in Stuart’s room. She’d have to get it back, so, steeling herself, she went upstairs.

If Stuart was home at this hour, he’d likely still be in his bedroom. Even though she hadn’t known Stuart for long, she had a good sense of his habits: he rarely ate breakfast and often slept late into the morning.

The upstairs was silent as she approached the bedroom door. Hesitating with her hand raised to knock, she wondered what she would say to Stuart.

He left with Adelaide yesterday. What if Adelaide would show up behind the door?

Stuart had seemed distant when she first mentioned leaving Windcharm Villas; now that she was planning to leave again, would his attitude change further?

Morwenna’s thoughts swirled as she lowered her hand, only to raise it again moments later.

Then she shook her head and muttered to herself, “Morwenna, you’re becoming such a coward. You’re not afraid of a wild boar, but Stuart scares you?”

With that, she knocked on the door firmly.

“You're here,” came Stuart’s deep, slightly hoarse voice from behind her.

Startled, Morwenna turned around quickly.

Stuart hadn’t been in the bedroom after all; he had come out of the study on the other side.
