How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 162

After Stuart had finished his spaghetti, Morwenna decided it was time to address the elephant in the room. “Stuart, do you ever feel like you’re a bit too unpredictable? We could just talk things out, you know. This push-and-pull routine is wearing me down.”

Indeed, Stuart had always been an enigma to her.

She was drawn to him. Though he could accept or reject her, his alternating warmth and cold distance were unsettling.

Not many had the guts to question Stuart's actions, but Morwenna felt something was wrong and she said it.

Stuart looked up, his deep and piercing eyes lazily meeting hers.

Lowering her voice, Morwenna continued, “If you’re upset about that night I drunkenly kissed you, I promise it won’t happen again.”

Suddenly, Stuart stood, leaning over the table towards her, a slight smirk playing at his lips. “I didn’t mind.”

“What?”

“Morwenna, how about I stop keeping my distance?”

“What, what do you mean?”

“Will you keep liking me?”

“Uh... yes…”

Morwenna was flustered.

Stuart was not usually this straightforward.

She had prepared a litany of arguments, none of which she needed.

Then, Stuart turned ominously soft, “Since you said you’ll continue, no backing out, okay? Breaking promises can be punished.”

His tone was almost devilishly seductive, sending a shiver down Morwenna’s spine.
