How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 98

Stuart was never exactly the paragon of virtue, but Adelaide had managed to stay by his side for years, because she knew her limits and never crossed the line.

But today, Adelaide had pushed too far.

Standing behind him, Adelaide couldn’t see Stuart's glare, but members of the Hetfield family caught it all too well.

An angry Stuart was unpredictable, and nobody knew what he might do next.

It was like that day at the amusement park on the roller coaster; if Stuart hadn't eventually lost interest, he might have seriously harmed those who annoyed him before letting them go.

Yara shifted back in her seat, wary of getting caught in the crossfire.

Phineas' eyes sparkled with mischief, almost hoping the drama would escalate.

Norbert even stood up, intending to intervene.

Just then, Morwenna stepped forward and pulled Adelaide away with ease.

Adelaide, frail as she was, could have been overpowered by Morwenna single-handedly even if there were five of her.

After pulling them apart, Morwenna defended Stuart like a fierce lioness protecting her cub. "Adelaide, don’t touch him!"

Stuart's back was covered in wounds that were now inflamed. Adelaide’s reckless act could have torn them open.

Morwenna was worried about Adelaide aggravating Stuart’s injuries.

But to the onlookers, it seemed like Morwenna was staking her claim over him.

Especially since Stuart was on the brink of fury, and anyone who touched him was in for bad luck.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Stuart’s menacing aura dissolved.

It vanished as if it had never been there.

How was that possible?

Was it because he couldn’t bear to lash out at Adelaide? Or was it Morwenna’s interference?
