How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 89

Yara turned around in shock to face Stuart.

Why on earth was Stuart back?

It wasn't like him to visit this place; he had even missed Christmas last year.

Morwenna was also puzzled.

Why was Stuart here?

Stuart was shockingly blunt, almost as if he wouldn’t hesitate to lash out at his own aunt.

He walked over with an air of arrogance, looking down at Yara’s belly and remarked, “Heard you’re expecting a boy, Yara. You better take good care of yourself.”

His tone was anything but caring, bordering more on a threat.

Yara, being aggressive towards Morwenna just moments ago, instinctively clutched her belly and stepped back.

Her face turned pale as she said, “Stuart, I am your aunt.”

“Am I supposed to care?”

Yara’s face grew even paler, her eyes flickering with fear.

Morwenna watched from the side, confused.

Yara is meant to be an elder in the family; Stuart, regardless of his recklessness, should show her respect. What's got her scared?

Just then, a stern voice called from the entrance, “Stuart, respect your elders. Don’t overstep.”

Morwenna turned to see Phineas entering the room.

Stuart squinted slightly and shot back, “Uncle, you have the leisure to lecture me? Maybe you should spend more time handling my cousins, or do you need me to take over?”

Phineas' gaze was sharp as he stared at Stuart.

Stuart returned the look with a defiant sneer.

The atmosphere was tense.

Despite being a Hetfield, Stuart’s presence seemed to have ignited a bomb in the family living room.

Morwenna could sense the family’s disdain for Stuart, mingled with an undercurrent of fear.
