How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Morwenna was tired of the veiled criticisms.

She was finished with spoon-feeding Stuart. And really, she couldn't care less about Ms. Gallagher's or anyone else's thoughts.

Adelaide's demeanor quickly darkened. "You dare speak to me like that? You know what? I can have you thrown out of Windcharm Villas right now, and Stuart wouldn't utter a word in your defense?" Morwenna had been ready to leave for a while.

She could still make it to her newly rented apartment to cook lunch.
