How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 151

Stuart and Greta's private conversation was out of bounds for eavesdroppers, much less the casual observer.

Most of the crowd at the event had their eyes fixed on Morwenna.

The audacity to openly express her affection for Mr. Hetfield and then manage to snag a dance with the man, elbowing past Ms. Irons... What was her secret?

Looking at her, it seemed her charms were twofold: beauty and an appetite.

Sure enough, Morwenna was back at the buffet like a kid in a candy store.

She was going at it so much that Barclay couldn't stand sitting at the same table with her, feeling like it was a slight to his classiness.

Morwenna, unfazed by Barclay’s disapproval, kept her gaze fixed on Stuart.

As it seemed Stuart and Greta were wrapping up their chat, Morwenna quickly diverted her attention and pretended to sip her juice to mask her curiosity.

Stuart and Greta approached.

Stuart instructed without hesitation, "Barclay, take her home."

Barclay, caught off guard and not particularly keen on the task due to a past conflict with Morwenna, hesitated but ultimately resigned himself to comply. "Alright," he muttered, as Stuart walked away with Greta.

"Stuart, where are you going?" Morwenna called out hastily.

Without turning back, Stuart replied, "I've got another engagement."

Greta glanced back at Morwenna, pondering why Stuart would prefer a seemingly naive girl over someone as formidable as herself.

As they left, the business talks were due to continue, but some terms needed revisiting.

Morwenna, seeing Stuart leave, grimaced and lost her appetite. "I want to go home."

With a scowl, Barclay asked, "Shall we? You heading back to Windcharm Villas?"
