Stuart's face darkened, a storm brewing in his gaze that silenced the room instantly.

Even Lorna, who'd had a bit too much to drink, seemed to sense the danger and clamped her mouth shut.

Morwenna was about to explain that she'd merely married into the Hetfield family; it wasn't like she had free reign over Stuart's finances. She wanted to clarify that.

But before she could get the words out, Stuart suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Morwenna, you focus on your studies. As Stuart's wife, you do not need to work part-time at the university, nor do you need to skimp and save."

Stuart's gaze snapped to Lorna, his eyes narrowing, "Who's been bullying her?"
