How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

After years of being treated like a queen by Barclay, the sound of sobbing instantly put him on edge.

"Adelaide, what's wrong? Please, don't cry! Tell me what's going on."

Hearing that, Barclay's tone cooled noticeably. "Adelaide, I've been more than patient with Jethro, all things considered. This was just a lesson. Don't be too upset. After all, Jethro's no kid; you can't watch over him forever."
