How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 27

Morwenna suddenly felt homesick.

As a child, there were times when she didn't even have bread to eat. Once famished, she fainted, only to be found by villagers who occasionally brought her food, saying it was leftovers unwanted, to spare her pride.

Morwenna was always grateful and understood the kindness behind their actions.

She bowed to Mrs. White. “Thank you, Mrs. White.”

With a smile, she carried the still-flapping fish home. Mrs. White was indeed a good soul.

Life was simple and satisfying.

…

Stuart's mood darkened by the day.

He had been ignoring Morwenna for several days.

He couldn't believe Morwenna had no hidden agendas.

He had thought she would seek him out when she came to Windcharm Villas.

But a week had passed, and the girl hadn’t shown up even once.

Could it be she went there to work at a fish shop?

At the time, Stuart was sitting in his office.

His assistant whispered, “On July 7th, Ms. Winslet spent the day gutting fish at the market. The vendor was rude and scolded her fifteen times, and she had bread for lunch and dinner. On July 8th, Ms. Winslet fell off a bike, got yelled at twenty times, and continued with bread. On July 9th, Ms. Winslet stared at a diner's fried eggs for three minutes and got scolded thirteen times, but she finally had fish today...”

Stuart couldn’t believe his ears.

The information painted a picture of her frugality.

What exactly was she up to?

She wouldn’t return to Windcharm Villas and instead chose to work at a fish shop, enduring scolding and bullying day after day. Who was she trying to impress?

If Morwenna knew what Stuart was thinking, she’d want to punch him.
