How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 268

She noticed Stuart walking in, a huge figure draped in a custom suit that seemed to suck up all the light around him.

His hair, cut short, carried the chill of winter, and with him, an aura of undeniable authority. The moment he entered, the buzzing chatter of the grand auditorium faded into silence.

Stuart's gaze swept the room, searching, but not finding Morwenna, a flicker of impatience crossing his features.

That impatience lent him an air of dangerous charisma, making him all the more intriguing.

Somewhere in the hushed quiet, a swallow was heard, loud as a gunshot in the silence.

That lone swallow seemed to break a dam, and whispers bubbled up amongst the students like a pot coming to boil.

"God, how can anyone be that rich and that handsome?"

"Keep it down, will you? I've heard Mr. Hetfield has quite the temper."

"Doesn't look like it to me. Everyone's staring, and he hasn't bit anyone's head off."

"I can't even... A man in a suit is my ultimate weakness. Utterly beguiling."

"It's all about the man wearing it. The average Joe in a suit just looks like he's selling insurance."

Hidden away, Morwenna peeked out, equally astounded.

Stuart had mentioned he'd come to see her, prompting her immediate refusal.

After all, Rosefrost University had strict policies about visitors, and someone of Stuart's caliber would undoubtedly cause a stir.

Yet, she hadn't expected him to appear in such a dramatic fashion.
