How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Morwenna paused, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

The day-shift caregiver froze and burst into anger. “Keira, are you defying your mother? If you dare go with her, I'm calling your mother right now.”

Keira turned pale.

Morwenna returned to the bedside, scooped Keira up, and walked out.

“As far as I'm concerned,” Morwenna said, “if your mother finds out, I’ll be the one she hears from. I can’t believe she’d allow a caregiver to mistreat her daughter like this.”

“What are you talking about? When have I ever mistreated her? Don’t put words in my mouth!” The caregiver stepped forward, trying to snatch Keira back. “Her mom left her in my hands, that means I have every right to take care of her. Let her go!”

But Morwenna didn’t let go.

If Keira had chosen to stay silent, that might have been the end of it. But since Keira had voiced her desire to leave with Morwenna, there was no way Morwenna would leave without her.

She was from the mountains, where people couldn't stand to see the weak getting bullied.

The burly caregiver couldn’t wrestle Keira from Morwenna's grasp. Morwenna was just too strong.

Furious and not used to being defied, the caregiver stopped trying to pull Keira away and instead aimed a slap at her. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Morwenna's eyes flashed dangerously. Holding Keira, she couldn’t strike back but twisted to block the blow. The slap landed on Morwenna's shoulder, staggering her slightly.

Keira screamed, “Wenna!”

Then, a menacing voice came from the door. “What’s all the commotion here? What are you playing at?”

Morwenna's anger paused momentarily. Why was Stuart there?

Somewhere, the ever-mischievous Fletcher sneezed.

Stuart stepped into the room, a smile still playing on his lips.

For some reason, everyone quieted down, tension suddenly thick in the air.

Without warning, Stuart kicked the caregiver over, grabbed a wooden chair by the side, and smashed it against the caregiver’s leg.

A scream echoed through the room.

“Don’t sweat it. It’s just a fracture, nothing serious. I’ll get you a caregiver,” Stuart said indifferently.

The nurse was terrified.

Keira covered her mouth in shock.

Stuart surveyed his handiwork, his voice playful yet threatening. “Fun, huh? Looks like your hands are useless, too. Shall we break those as well?”

Finally snapping out of her daze, Morwenna set Keira down and rushed to Stuart, grabbing him.

She had seen Stuart act before, one time when she first barged into his room and nearly got strangled, another time on the roller coaster that almost cost Barclay and others their lives.

Stuart was fierce.

As Stuart got angry at the time, she didn't know what he might do.

For some reason, Morwenna didn’t want to see this side of Stuart.

Stuart pulled back and looked down with a fierce glare, displeased at being interrupted.

Morwenna wasn’t sure what she was thinking. She went ahead and hugged Stuart tightly, her tone soothing. “Stuart, it’s okay. Everything’s fine.”

Stuart stared at Morwenna holding him tightly, momentarily lost in confusion.

What was Morwenna up to? Was she trying to soothe him?

How ridiculous.

Stuart found it absurd, yet the fierceness in his eyes slowly dissipated.

After a while, as Stuart remained still, Morwenna finally let go.

Realizing she had hugged Stuart made Morwenna somewhat uncomfortable.

She was still unsure about their relationship.

Sometimes, Stuart was very kind to her, making her want to get closer, but she was afraid to.

She feared Adelaide would call, and he would have to leave just as she got close.

After all, Stuart would drop anything for Adelaide.

Lost in these thoughts, Morwenna drifted off.
