How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 139

Being with Morwenna, even Stuart's icy heart felt the warmth of being cherished.

Morwenna was shy and often nervous, but no matter how timid, she always expressed her thoughts openly and honestly.

Like now, she wanted to hold Stuart's hand.

Of course, if Stuart didn’t agree, that would be the end of it.

Stuart remained silent.

Morwenna asked in a whisper, "May I?"

Still, Stuart didn’t respond.

Morwenna figured Stuart’s silence was his way of giving consent.

When their hands brushed lightly again, Morwenna grabbed Stuart’s hand.

She didn’t look at him, her eyes fixed ahead, her heart pounding wildly though she tried to appear calm.

She had succeeded. They were holding hands! Morwenna was thrilled.

The next moment, Stuart withdrew his hand.

Morwenna paused, slightly disappointed, thinking Stuart might not want to hold hands after all.

But she didn't let it get her down. It's cool, she told herself, just take it slow.

Lost in her thoughts, she was startled by Stuart’s voice, cool as the frost of a pine in winter, "Your palms are sweating."

Her cheeks heated up and she quickly swung her hands behind her to dry them off.

Morwenna chided herself internally. What’s gotten into you, Morwenna? You used to be so tough, and now you’re nervous over holding hands?

Then, in a swift move, Stuart took her freshly wiped hand.
