How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 76

He decided to give Morwenna another chance.

But Stuart just took it for granted and never even asked Morwenna if she needed this chance.

Originally, Morwenna disliked Stuart.

It was Stuart who, under the guise of kindness, had engineered a car accident that had made her heart flutter for him.

Morwenna was too naive, barely able to differentiate between love and gratitude.

Yet, Morwenna knew a love triangle couldn't persist.

She also knew that Norbert meant much more to her than Stuart ever could.

At that moment, Norbert was having heart troubles. Despite taking his medication, Morwenna was too worried to leave him alone in the car.

Seeing that Morwenna wouldn’t budge, Stuart approached with an overwhelming sense of authority, about to forcibly pull her out of the car.

Orson, seeing this, decisively started the car and stepped on the gas.

Stuart was left fuming.

Through the rearview mirror, Orson saw Stuart’s dark expression but pretended not to notice. After all, his current charge was Morwenna, not Stuart, his former employer.

Once the car was on the move, Norbert, noticing Morwenna’s anxiety, reassured her, “Wenna, I’m alright now. Don’t worry. As for Stuart, you don’t have to be afraid. I'm here and he can’t just take you away. It’s okay even if you can’t live with Stuart.”

Norbert had been truly disappointed by what he’d seen that day.

His wife was drowning, yet Stuart chose to rescue some other woman.

How abandoned must the pure-hearted Wenna have felt at that moment?

He had once hoped that the genuine Morwenna might redeem Stuart. Now, it seemed he had been overly optimistic.

His past mistakes had already harmed Stuart. How could he allow them to harm Wenna too?

Morwenna widened her eyes. Was it really okay not to be with Stuart?

Later, she realized that no matter how loudly she cried, no one would care for her anymore.

So, she stopped crying.

Even last time, when she had to pay a hefty sum for the bluegrass, she just silently shed tears.

But now, Morwenna cried like a child.

All those long-suppressed emotions were released with her sobs.

Norbert sighed and gently rubbed her head.

“In recent years, the Hetfield family has been through a lot. I almost thought I couldn’t go on, then I received your thank-you note from the mountains. It motivated me. If I died, who knows how many children like Wenna in the mountains would go without schooling? I kept going because of you.”

Morwenna looked up at Norbert with teary eyes.

“Wenna, don’t always feel like you owe us. Actually, you've been spreading kindness to others. I’ve gotten older. Watching you grow up to this day, I sincerely hope you can live well, even if that means divorcing Stuart.”
