How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 141

The first day of the weekend was going splendidly for Morwenna, her heart fluttering with a tiny leap of joy. It was her first time being smitten with someone, seeing and feeling only him in her heart and mind.

It didn’t matter to her that Stuart wasn’t responding; just a small acknowledgment from him could keep her happy for hours. Unfortunately, she was unaware that often reality was quite different from what she perceived.

By the time the two of them returned to Hetfield's Homestead, the sky had already darkened. Stuart led the way, while Morwenna, laden with a mishmash of shopping bags, followed behind.

Norbert watched the scene with a slightly raised eyebrow, pondering if the two had gone out shopping.

"Has the lad finally come to his senses?" he wondered silently.

Looking around, Morwenna noticed that only Norbert was in the grand hall; the rest of the Hetfield family was busy elsewhere. Phineas and Sabrina were tied up with work, Yara was busy out shopping or at the beauty salon, and her husband rarely visited. The younger generation consisted of two cousins; one was woking at Hetfield Group and the other was still in sixth grade. Yara’s four daughters were all enrolled in various dance and piano classes over the summer break.

So, most of the time, the mansion was quiet, occupied only by Norbert.

Suddenly, Morwenna felt a pang of sympathy for Norbert, alone in the vast, silent house.

“Norbert, I’m back!” she called out with enthusiasm, breaking the quiet.

Norbert, usually stern, replied with a rare touch of lightness, “Stuart, lad, making a lady carry all the bags, where are your manners?”

Stuart paused mid-step on the stairs.
