How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 170

Greta propped her chin on her hands, eyeing Morwenna with a playful smirk. "Everyone has another side, darling. It depends on what you like about them. Do you like his money? His looks? Or his personality?"

Morwenna appeared to be pondering seriously. "It's hard to say. I just think he's a good person. He's mostly gentle, quite handsome, and treats me well. His grandfather is a lovely man too. Everything seems just fine."

Greta couldn't hold back a burst of laughter.

After a moment, still chuckling, Greta said, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh at you. It's just sweetie. Are you sure you're not misunderstanding something about Stuart? Besides being a looker, he's quite different from what you've described."

Morwenna frowned slightly.

But that was the Stuart she knew.

Sure, he was a bit rough around the edges when they were first forced into marriage, but he'd been quite gentle with her ever since, except maybe a bit biased when it came to issues involving Adelaide.

Seeing Morwenna’s frown, Greta quickly softened her tone. "Alright, it's clear you like Stuart. But what if I told you he's not as perfect as you think? What if I said he can be cold and ruthless, especially in business, crushing his competitors without mercy? Would you leave him then?"

Morwenna suddenly thought of the scars she had seen on Stuart's body.

She shook her head. "I don't want to leave him. I want to protect him."

Even after seeing the darker side of Stuart, she didn't feel much sympathy for those who messed with company funds. They deserved their punishment. What worried her more were the scars on Stuart.

She didn’t know who had hurt him and Stuart never spoke of it.

She thought if she had known him earlier, she would have protected him just like Norbert would have.
