How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 389



Why was Stuart Hetfield so close with Morwenna Winslet? Did they know each other outside of work? That didn't seem likely, considering Morwenna was a diligent worker. Meanwhile, Stuart was the head of the Hetfield Group!

Stuart casually brushed Morwenna's hair aside, his movements so natural, as if he'd done it a thousand times before, yet it was as if it was no big deal. He was jealous, he was staking his claim, all while drawing closer to Morwenna to suppress the murderous rage boiling inside him. For a moment, he genuinely wanted to throttle Claude.

Morwenna froze, her heartbeat skyrocketing. Sure, Stuart had been more intimate with her before, but showing affection publicly like this was a first. But she didn't want their relationship exposed. Hiding her hands behind her back, she couldn't help but pinch Stuart's waist.

Before, Stuart wouldn't acknowledge their relationship, making her sneak around to see him. Now, when she wanted to avoid trouble, Stuart was ever-present, closing in without a care. Feeling the pinch, Stuart remained expressionless. But Morwenna sensed that Stuart's rage, spurred by Claude, had simmered down a tad. She gently patted Stuart's back twice more.

From the moment they left the shop, Stuart's gaze never fell on Claude; his peripheral vision was locked on Morwenna. Only by focusing on her could he somewhat quell the storm raging inside him, avoiding making a scene. Bystanders assumed it was because of Barclay Clark and Campbell Green's significant clout that they could have both Claude and Stuart present. Little did they know, without Morwenna, Stuart and Claude would never appear together.

At that moment, Morwenna caught the shocked looks of everyone, and she wanted to explain but didn't even know where to start. She was terrible at lying; she and Stuart were, in fact, married. How could she possibly explain that?

Then, she heard the whispers of the surrounding crowd.

"Don't make such a fuss, guys. Mr. Hetfield is a friend of Campbell's. Campbell must have introduced Mr. Hetfield to Morwenna. What's so wrong about fixing someone's hair?"

"Yeah, true. My buddy, that jerk, is all over me all day, not just hair."

"Maybe Mr. Hetfield is just naturally gentle. Who says a big shot can't be soft?"

"It's all about the looks, too. When an average Joe fixes someone's hair, it's greasy. When Mr. Hetfield does it, it's charming."

"Morwenna is so lucky to have a friend like Campbell."

Campbell himself felt the urge to wipe sweat from his brow. Don't overestimate him; he really didn't have that much influence!

Morwenna blinked her large eyes,

realizing she didn't even need to

explain; everyone had done it for her.

The stark contrast between her and Stuart made it improbable

Only Carolyn Nelson seemed about to grind her teeth to dust. What was Morwenna so smug about! She was just lucky, getting more chances to be close to Stuart. From childhood, Carolyn always got what she

el

wanted, whether it was the school

beauty title or Stuart. She was determined to have him, confident her family would back her up.

Morwenna paid no mind to Carolyn, her mind preoccupied with Stuart and Claude, anxious to wrap up the opening event. So, with a smile, she stepped forward, standing

confidently in the center: "Hello,

everyone. My name is Morwen

My passion is to study hard, and I hope you don't laugh. In my

hometown, getting a normal

education is a luxury. I want to work hard, earn more money, and use it to help children who can't afford

school, to give them more opportunities... I hope you all can support me."

Morwenna had prepared a heartfelt speech, sharing her true feelings and earnestly promoting her small shop.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
