How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Yeah, the entire Rosefrost Hollow seemed to be buzzing with the same gossip.

Adelaide swayed slightly, as if the ground beneath her was giving way.

Everyone was saying the same thing.

They whispered that Stuart was indifferent to other women, that Adelaide was the only woman close to him, that everyone envied Stuart's affection for her, that it was only a matter of time before she married into the prestigious Hetfield family.

But Adelaide knew the truth more clearly than anyone else. Stuart had no romantic feelings for her.

What Stuart was concerned with was her health condition. All he needed was for her to stay alive. Before Morwenna appeared, Adelaide thought she could just bide her time next to Stuart.

Eventually, everything she desired would fall into place. One day, she would take her rightful place by his side. Countless attractive women from notable families had tried to catch Stuart's eye, but he never cared. Morwenna was different. It wasn't about social status or anything else. It was the way Stuart looked at her. Stuart's gaze, which never lingered on anyone else, seemed frequently caught by Morwenna.

Realizing this, Adelaide felt a chilling sense of urgency. If she continued to wait, she might end up with nothing.

Standing there as if soulless, she was snapped back to reality by Violet's anxious shove. "What are you sulking about? Speak up, girl! I warn you, you can't afford to be cast aside by Stuart. What would become of us if you were?"

Pushed forward, Adelaide stumbled and fell, her palm landing on the shards of a glass she had knocked over earlier.
