How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 403



After finishing her words, Lorna felt the small hand clasping her waist tighten even further.

The journey that should have taken over an hour, Lorna managed to cut down to thirty-five minutes, racing her beloved motorcycle to the gates of Hetfield's Homestead to drop Morwenna off.

Without a second thought for her prized ride, Lorna was quick on Morwenna's heels, bolting into the grand estate.

The pair made a beeline for Norbert's room, but their path was abruptly blocked by several unfamiliar bodyguards in the hallway.

"Move!" Morwenna's voice was hoarse with urgency.

The bodyguards remained unmoved.

In the next moment, a few familiar faces emerged from behind the guards - Phineas, Sabrina, and a visibly pregnant Yara. Morwenna's gaze turned icy; these were the people her grandfather had banished, and they had no business being here.

Phineas said sternly, "What's with the commotion this late at night? Typical country manners."

Locking eyes with Phineas, Morwenna clenched her fists, barely containing her rage, and said through gritted teeth, "I need to see Norbert Hetfield!" Phineas flatly refused, "No, Norbert has retired for the night and has no interest in seeing you."

Morwenna was about to force her way through.

Yara, hand on her hip, sneered, "Oh, you think you can just barge in? Listen here, girl, we are the Hetfields, you're nothing but an outsider. Causing a scene like this, believe me, if you don't stop, we'll have you thrown out."

Morwenna was desperate for any news on Norbert; she had been out of touch due to a broken phone and only caught wind of the trouble late in the evening. How was Norbert now?

She was about to rush forward when Lorna grabbed her.

In a hushed tone, Lorna whispered, "Morwenna, stay calm. Rash actions won't solve anything. If you go in recklessly, you won't achieve what you're here to do."

Lorna's words were a splash of cold water, bringing Morwenna back to her senses.

She noticed the absence of Orson and Oswald, even the staff seemed completely changed, strangers in place of the familiar faces she knew. Though she could handle a few individuals, she stood no chance against this many.

If she insisted on barging in now, she might never get to see Norbert.

She needed to be strategic, to stay calm.

Without resisting, Morwenna let Lorna pull her back a few steps.

With a polite tone, Lorna addressed the group, "Good evening, folks. I'm Morwenna's classmate, Lorna Lamont. Morwenna invited me over; sorry to intrude."

Hearing the Lamont name, Phineas's attitude softened a bit, "Since you're here, don't wander off. I'll have the maid show you to a guest room." Lorna nodded and guided Morwenna away.

"Where's your room, Morwenna?" Lorna whispered.

Morwenna led the way in a different direction, with Lorna quickly following.

Once the door to Morwenna's room

was securely shut, Lorna said, "Don't

panic or cry. I think I've got the

picture - they've sidelined Norbert and are keeping you away

Morwenna nodded.

"What about Stuart?" Lorna inquired.

Morwenna shook her head, "I don't know. The message said Stuart might be out of town, and I can't reach him by phone."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

If Stuart were here, he could have resolved everything.

Lorna took a deep breath, "Don't worry. Their guarding the door means Norbert is still okay. Tell me, what's the most important reason you came back?"

Morwenna replied sadly, "I want to save Norbert Hetfield. I want to be by his side."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that's it."

Lorna suddenly sported a slightly menacing grin, "If you're aiming for the inheritance, I'm out of ideas. But if it's just this little request, I might have a plan. It's risky though are you in2

Morwenna immediately nodded, "I'm in!"
