How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 340

If they had just met, he would've told Morwenna to hit the road without a second thought, especially when it came to poaching the guy Adelaide had her eyes on. But now... deep down, he felt Adelaide had lost the battle.

Morwenna softened a tad, "So, what are you trying to say?"

"I'm just saying, you know, other guys can be pretty great too. Like Fletcher, Matthew, or even me..."

"So, you're still hinting I should back off from Stuart?"

Barclay suddenly stood up, waving his hands frantically. That wasn't his intention at all.

Alright, he had no clue what he was even saying anymore. He wanted to strike up a conversation, maybe segue into an apology, but it seemed the more he spoke, the further off-track he went.

Barclay finally threw caution to the wind, "Morwenna, I'm sorry for bullying you before!"

Morwenna raised an eyebrow, not expecting an apology from Barclay.

After Barclay finished, seeing Morwenna's lack of response, he awkwardly added, "I think you're a decent person, just a bit reckless chasing after Stuart. If one day you find it's not working out, don't be too heartbroken. Come find me; I can introduce you to some fine young men from Rosefrost Hollow."

Morwenna's eyebrow arched even higher. What was Barclay up to now? Offering to set her up with a boyfriend? She didn't remember them being that close! Sure, they had a couple of brawls. And she did dunk Barclay's head under water a few times.

Feeling uneasy under Morwenna's gaze, Barclay hastened to explain, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not offering myself, I meant introducing you to other friends, I..."

Barclay felt his old dignity slipping away, worried Morwenna might think he fancied her.

Morwenna, with her big eyes on Barclay, teased, "Barclay, have you lost your marbles playing with the dog?"

"Morwenna!"

"Haha, just kidding, Barclay. I forgive you. And no need to set me up; Stuart and I are actually married."

"???"

"For real, we've been married for a while."

"Morwenna! Have you lost your mind? What are you blabbering about! Stuart getting married? Even if I were to marry again, Stuart wouldn't!" Morwenna was exasperated, "Stuart's not young anymore, what's so shocking about getting married?"

Stuart was over keeping their

hadn't stopped him, he would

It's not like Morwenna wanted to hide it. She and Stuart were in a good place, feeling nearly like a proper married couple. She just thought too many people knowing would be a hassle. As for Stuart's friends, she saw no reason to keep it a secret.

Barclay, flabbergasted as if the world was ending, stared at Morwenna's calm demeanor, slowly realizing she wasn't joking. Morwenna added, "The first day I arrived at Rosefrost Hollow, we got married at Norbert Hetfield's place."

"How... How is that possible?"Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Why not? Dr. Vaughn knows, Adelaide knows. And since you're close with Adelaide, maybe give her some advice. Gratitude isn't meant to be weaponized. Otherwise, even the deepest of debts can be worn away. Stuart's married, and her glaring at him like she's about to devour him is quite unbecoming."
