How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 34

Stuart was busy with nothing, but Morwenna had plans for the afternoon anyway.

Lately, she'd been on the hunt for a new job.

Feeling grumpy, Morwenna sat down and buried her head in her plate, eating non-stop.

After a while, she forgot what she was brooding over. The steak was delicious.

Stuart shot a little smirk. Maybe the good grub being enjoyed across the table made his own chow taste a bit better today.

When Morwenna left his place, she was too full.

She glanced back at the house, feeling a mix of emotions.

Did Stuart invite her for lunch on purpose?

His sudden kindness had her feeling uneasy.

Back home, Morwenna pushed thoughts of the enigmatic Stuart aside and resumed her job search.

But to her surprise, despite days of searching and being ready to take any job at a low wage, no one wanted her.

Morwenna felt discouraged. Was it so hard to land a job in the big city?

Meanwhile, Adelaide was under the weather in the Gallagher family, taking her medicine.

Across from her sat a man in a floral shirt.

If Morwenna were there, she'd recognize him as the man from the last party who had tried to splatter her with his drink.

"Adelaide, as long as I'm here, there is no way she’s getting a job at Rosefrost Hollow," the man said.

"Barclay, is this too much? Stuart will blame me if he finds out."

"What's the harm? It was my idea, not yours, Adelaide. I heard that maid's been butchering fish at the market. It's foul and disgusting. She's moved out of Windcharm Villas and lives in some crumbling old apartment block. She's poor and plain. Adelaide, you really shouldn't worry about her."
