How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband



"No way, I can't believe this!" Phineas had someone bring Morwenna's phone to her.

The moment she got it, Morwenna anxiously checked for any messages or calls. She scrolled through her apps and texts, finding only two messages from Claude and a missed call from him. Since the incident with Norbert Hetfield, she hadn't received a single call from Stuart. Before that, they used to talk every day.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Phineas shrugged, "Go ahead, the phone's working fine, it's got signal and credit. If you can get Stuart on the line, I've got something to discuss with him too."

Biting her lip, Morwenna dialed Stuart's number. "The number you have dialed is out of service area, please try again later..." She refused to give up and dialed again. "The number you have dialed is out of service area, please try again later..."

Phineas had an 'I-told-you-so' look on his face, "See, I told you he's unreachable. He might have blocked us all, doesn't want anything to do with us anymore. He doesn't care about Norbert's fate."

Morwenna couldn't accept it. She thought perhaps the phone was tampered with. Randomly, she dialed a number from her call log, and to her surprise, it went through. It was Claude on the other end.

Claude picked up, his voice filled with concern, "Ms. Winslet, are you alright? You haven't been answering calls. Did my visit to the school upset you? Or is it the blood relation between Stuart and me that bothers you?"

"I..." Before Morwenna could reply, Phineas was looking at her with a mocking grin, forcing her to softly say, "Don't overthink it. I'm not bothered by that. I've been busy these days. I have to hang up now."

Morwenna didn't even have time to consider if her excuse sounded plausible or if Claude would believe her. After hanging up, she still felt uneasy, so she checked the phone's blocked list. Nothing. The phone hadn't been tampered with; it was just Stuart's number that was unreachable.

"Did you... Did you kidnap Stuart?"

"Kidnap Stuart? Don't be ridiculous. Do you think Stuart is that easy to kidnap? The so-called kidnap was a plot by Stuart himself."

Phineas took Morwenna's phone

from her. She was too stunned to resist. Phineas said nonchalantly, "Forget it. Of all people, why pin your hopes on Stuart? You call me dirty, but Stuart is the real heartless monster."

"Morwenna, you're not one of the Hetfields. Why bother with all this? It seems Norbert is all you care about. He's been strong all his life, and now he suffers every day. Each day s just more pain for him. Tragic."

"Morwenna, if you help me with something, I can make Norbert's last days less painful. How about it?"

Morwenna looked up. Her eyes,

once vibrant, were now lifeless. She

knew. Sometimes Norbert would

wake from his coma in pain. But to avoid worrying her, he'd endure it silently. Morwenna could sometimes see the sweat on Norbert's brow, and it broke her heart. But she never said anything, fearing it would only make him feel worse.

Now, feeling utterly powerless, she said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Just a small task. There's a document at Windcharm Villas that Stuart took with him. Since Stuart's gone, I need you to retrieve it for me." "Alright, I'll go."

"That's the spirit. I'll arrange for some bodyguards to protect you. Don't worry, you're doing this for Norbert Hetfield."
