How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

"Morwenna, are you avoiding me?" Stuart's deep and indifferent voice echoed through the room.

Morwenna stopped in her tracks, tacitly admitting the truth.

In her eyes, Stuart was a decent man. Whether it was his occasional gentleness or the times he had come to her aid, each gesture tempted her, not to mention his handsome looks. Several incidents involving Adelaide had cooled her slight infatuation, convincing her to see Stuart merely as a benefactor.
