When Morwenna dropped that bombshell, Stuart felt a significant shift in the air around him.

He genuinely hadn't expected such words to tumble from Morwenna's lips.

Could she love him? Did someone genuinely love him for who he was?

The women who claimed to adore him were only after the wealth he held.

Adelaide had made grand declarations of love, but it was clear that she was only in it for the perks.

Love? All he saw in the eyes of others was wariness and fear.

Stuart was ready to scoff at Morwenna's statement, but when he looked into her eyes, he saw no ulterior motives, no fear, just pure, hopeful brightness, like the moon's reflection shimmering on a lake. His intended mockery died on his lips.

With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, he asked, "What do you want from me?"

Morwenna seemed baffled for a moment. "I don't want anything. I was just wondering if it's okay to love you. I hope it doesn't cause you trouble."

Without the complications like those with Adelaide, Morwenna's love was straightforward and clear.
