How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Barclay stood frozen in place, like he'd been struck by lightning.

Morwenna got married? No, it was Stuart who got married?

Barclay looked utterly crestfallen.

Morwenna thought to herself, Barclay really cares about Adelaide.

Knowing that Stuart was married and that Adelaide was no longer an option, Barclay's heartache was clear.

Barclay was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice his phone buzzing incessantly.

The caller seemed determined to reach him, dialing one call after another until Morwenna, unable to watch any longer, reminded him, "Barclay, your phone's been ringing off the hook. You gonna answer that?" Without even glancing at the caller ID, Barclay picked up the phone in a daze.

The next second, he was met with the scolding of a middle-aged woman on the other end.

"Barclay! What have you done this time, blowing through a million bucks? Was it for that manipulative Adelaide again? How did I end up with such a blockhead for a son? Get back here this instant!" Snapping back to reality, Barclay quickly covered the phone's mouthpiece, embarrassed that Morwenna overheard his mom's tirade.

Morwenna cleared her throat and turned away, pretending not to listen, though she had heard every word.
