How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Matt rolled his eyes in exasperation, "Can't you hear it, or what?"

Cam caught the drift but couldn't wrap his head around the bombshell. His eyes bulged as he stared at his big brother incredulously.

Patting Cam on the shoulder, Matt said with a heavy sigh, "It's exactly what it sounds like, buddy. Morwenna's the girl Stuart's fallen for. Got it?"

At this point, the brothers were clueless about the real deal; Stuart and Morwenna were already married.

Aside from the Hetfields, only a few folks like Fletcher Vaughn and Adelaide were in on the secret. The Hetfields kept mum, Adelaide wouldn't spill, and Stuart hadn't breathed a word about it. He figured Morwenna wasn't ready to stir the pot at school, believing she hadn't fully accepted him yet. When she did, he'd probably shout it from the rooftops.

Hearing this, Cam's eyes popped even wider, and he made a beeline to bolt. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Quick as a flash, Matt grabbed his kid brother by the collar, "Where do you think you're going? We've got to see Stuart."

Cam, thinking about the mess he'd orchestrated—setting up Morwenna and Matt in a sham romance and remembering how Stuart had abruptly left that day's performance—his face fell.

"Bro, I've got piles on my plate, really. Stuart's around often enough; maybe we skip today, yeah?"

"Oh, we're definitely not skipping," Matt scoffed.

"Come on, you're my real brother, right?"

"Now you remember I'm your brother? When you dragged me into this without a clue, that didn't cross your mind?"

Dragging Cam to the parking lot, they found Stuart already there.

Seeing Stuart, Cam's knees buckled.

"Stuart~~"

"Oh~~ bro~~~"

Their voices quivered more than a leaf in a storm.

Stuart's tone was indifferent, "You're here."

Cam, jittery, blurted out, "Stuart, man, I messed up. I shouldn't have jumped in when I saw someone picking on sis, trying to make her shine and earn her stripes as the new face and lead lady. I just wanted to blind those snobs with her talent, not thinking it could lead to misunderstandings."

Stuart arched an eyebrow, "Really now?"

Cam nodded vigorously, "Absolutely. As long as I'm here, no one's gonna bother her. I've got her back against any petty jealousy or ill will."

Stuart gave a slight nod, "And what do you want in return?"

Matt nearly lost his composure. When did his clueless brother get so savvy?

Cam, with feigned nobility, said, "Do something for Stuart and ask for a reward? I'm all in, no strings attached."

Matt wanted to groan. This guy's bootlicking skills were surpassing his acting talent.

Stuart, unfazed by Cam's flattery, simply instructed, "Just make sure she's okay at school."

"You got it! I'll have eyes on her 24/7, keeping all the dudes at bay."

Stuart shot Cam a look, "I said keep her from being bullied, not to surveil her or meddle in her friendships."

Cam paused, confused, "But what if someone tries to woo her?"

Stuart took a moment before saying, "Her friendships are her own business. Don't interfere, got it?"

Morwenna was a free spirit, and he intended to respect that.

Matt couldn't help but wonder, was this the same ruthless, cold-blooded Stuart he knew? This looked more like genuine affection. Could it be Stuart was truly in love with Morwenna?

Cam, lost in thought, simply nodded, "Understood!"

He couldn't grasp Stuart's angle. In his mind, if Stuart liked a girl, he'd guard her jealously, cutting off any potential rivals before they got close.
