How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 14

Since finding the root of the problem, Stuart had no further use for Morwenna. In a hasty move, he pushed her aside.

Groggy from sleep, Morwenna nearly tumbled to the floor.

Rubbing her eyes, she looked at Stuart, puzzled and disoriented.

"Out," Stuart commanded, his voice deep and stern.

Morwenna was bewildered. After all, Stuart had arranged for her to sleep there as per their agreement. And at the time, he was dismissing her with such hostility.

What was with the attitude? She felt like punching him again!

Morwenna had thought sharing a bed signified a step toward a closer relationship, that perhaps she and Stuart could start to get along peacefully.

But contrary to her expectations, Stuart seemed to dislike her more after spending a night in the same bed. He began to make life increasingly difficult for her, inventing endless chores that kept her busy well into the day.

Even when she'd finished her task, Stuart always found more stuff to keep her occupied. Just yesterday, he had her replace all the drapes in the house, a task that kept her up until midnight. Today, he had scattered beans all over the carpet and demanded she pick them up.

Even a fool could see Stuart was deliberately making things hard for her.

Morwenna reminded herself to be patient. Norbert had been kind to her, and no matter how terrible Stuart's attitude was, she had to rise above it.

“Keep your cool. Don't hit Stuart.” She kept reminding herself in her heart.

Wanting to avoid conflict, Morwenna called Zoe and carefully reviewed every detail of her duties at Windcharm Villas, taking everything down in her notebook.

The notebook entries were detailed, like cleaning daily, changing Stuart's bed linens every three days, having the carpets professionally cleaned weekly, and handling Stuart’s laundry, suits, shirts, and ties, with dry cleaning, while materials like silk and cashmere needed hand-washing. Stuart disliked parsley, broccoli, sausage, and more. He was too picky!
