How the Ice king Became my Doting Billionaire Husband (Darlin )

Chapter 4

The crowd paused, then erupted into laughter

Talking manners with these folks was a real hoot-

Their words became even harsher

Shameless! Are you trying to sneak into Windcharm Villas as a maid to be Mr. Hetfield’s woman?”

“And look at you, thinking you can get close to Mr. Hetfield. Who do you think you are?”

“Oh, Adelaide’s only been gone a few days, and you’re already making a move on Mr. Hetfield. You can’t hold a candle to Adelaide

“Get lost. Don’t let us see your face around here anymore.”

These young men were experts at bullying

It was because Stuart hadn’t stepped in, and with Morwenna’s outfit, no one would associate her with Stuart. They assumed she was a new maid trying to catch Stuart’s eye with her odd behavior

During this exchange, a man in a floral shirt walked over and shoved Morwenna.

Carrying too much luggage, she couldn’t dodge and s t a g g e e d.

She took a deep breath, her anger simmering. She sensed disrespect, disdain, and contempt from their words and actions. But she didn’t see why she should be scomed

tolerated Stuart because of Norbert’s kindness, but these strangers had no right to lay hands on her

The man in the floral shirt saw the defiance in Morwenna’s eyes sand splashed his drink toward her.

swift move, Morwenna dropped her suitcase, grabbed his wrist, and the drink swayed, a few drops tnckling down her hand.

Morwenna stared at him, snapping. “If you dare touch me again, I will fight back.”

Morwenna was kind and gentle, but she was no coward.

Are these men trying to hurt her? She’d fight back.

Once she had gone into the woods to gather herbs and encountered a wild boar. The boar tried to hurt her, and she managed to kill it even with two broken ribs.

Why would she fear men if she wasn’t afraid of a wild boar?

These folks did I know what was going through Morwenna’s mind.

if they knew they were less than pigs in her eyes, they’d probably be livid.

The man

floral sh i t tried to pull his hand back but couldn’t.

Her delicate hands had a surprising strength.

Feeling his struggle, Morwenna didn’t want to start a fight while Stuart was around. It wouldn’t seem proper.

So, she let go, but as the man was pulling hard, he lost his balance and fell hard on the ground, his drink splashing all over him. It was a

total mess,

There was a moment of silence.

Morwenna was innocent. She didn’t mean for it to happen.

At that moment, Stuart spoke. “That’s enough! Mor… whatever, apologize.”

Stuart didn’t even remember Morwenna’s name. His tone wasn’t sharp or loud, casually authoritative, leaving no room for argument

Yet, Morwenna countered, “I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?”

The scene grew even quieter

No one expected someone to challenge Stuart openly. Was this country girl seeking her doom?

Stuart often seemed casual and carefree, but everyone knew his indifference masked a ruthless disposition. His nickname, the big bad wolf, wasn’t for nothing. Those who crossed Stuart always met grim fates.

Everyone waited for Stuart’s reaction

Stuart showed little emotion, his eyes half-closed as if tired, expressing annoyance. “Apologize or get out.”

Morwenna’s bright eyes met Stuart’s, the light in her eyes dimming to disappointment

She realized her husband wouldn’t stand up for her. They wouldn’t be like the devoted couples in her hornetown.

15:06

But she couldn’t just leave. She hadn’t repaid the years of support from Norbert yet, and she had promised to take care of Stuart.

So, Morwenna’s bright eyes lowered, her fists clenched, and she murmured an apology. “I’m sorry.”
