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.

She could have made an excuse, but lying was never her strong suit. Her face was an open book. It was easier to own up to it.

"Why are you hiding from me?" Stuart asked.

Morwenna frowned, unsure of how to explain.

To be blunt, she found Stuart irresistibly charming.

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.

But Stuart kept showing up, pulling her out of the bar and lending her money.

It was getting hard for Morwenna to keep her feelings strictly platonic.

Their relationship was complicated by Adelaide and further tangled by their mutual friend Norbert's issues.
