How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 296

If Stuart chose Adelaide over her again, then she... she would stop liking Stuart. It still hurt a bit to think about it. Morwenna fell asleep to the soothing sound of Stuart's reading voice.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The next day, Morwenna silently finished her morning classes. Just as she stepped out of the classroom, someone grabbed her shoulder. Lorna, ever the loud and carefree one, said, "Morwenna, what's up with you? I've been calling your name, and you didn't even hear me. Come on, let's grab some lunch. It's my treat today."

Morwenna snapped back to reality, seeing all her dorm mates were there. She shook her head, "No thanks, I can pay for my own."

But Lorna, with all seriousness, said, "We've talked it over, and from now on, we'll take turns treating each other to lunch once a week. What do you say, Morwenna?"

Morwenna hesitated. She knew that, unlike her, the other three came from wealthy families and wouldn't need to be as frugal as she was. But she really liked these girls. Morwenna has always been generous toward those she cared about, just like how she was with Norbert Hetfield and Stuart. After a brief thought, she nodded in agreement, thinking she could just run a few more errands to cover her share. "Alright, let's do it," she agreed. Lorna was pleased, "Great! This week is on me, Morwenna, you're up next week."

"Sure thing."

Next week was the end of the month. The three roommates exchanged glances, sharing a little secret. They had planned a visit to Morwenna's home during the holiday at the month's end. Their bond as roommates seemed to grow stronger.

Lorna ordered a feast, as if she

wanted to try every dish the cafeteria had to offer. Keira, sitting next to her, tugged at her shirt. Lorna was about to snap when she noticed Keira's worried glance Morwenna. Following her gaze, Lorna saw Morwenna staring open-mouthed at the array of dishes, clearly worrying about her finances. Realizing this, Lorna quickly covered, "I just wanted to try what's good here today. From now on, we'll just order a few dishes."

Morwenna sighed in relief. As they went to get their food, Morwenna sweetly said to the cafeteria lady, "Ma'am, could I have two extra servings of rice, please?" Others turned to look at her. Following her, Lorna Toudly said, "Ma'am, I'll have two extra servings as well." Dahlia, with her usual cool demeanor, added, "One extra serving for me." And timid Keira chimed in, "I... I'll

have extra too."

All four of them ended up with heaping plates of rice. Ignoring the disdainful looks from others, Lorna glared back fiercely. Even Dahlia's cool gaze swept across the room, and timid Keira puffed out her chest. Morwenna was touched.

Lorna slapped Morwenna's back,

"What are you spacing out for? Eat up! I'm really hungry today." Dahlia

and Keira started eating heat

Morwenna lowered her head to eat, her nose tingling with emotion. She knew they were doing this because she often got teased for eating a lot. But they chose to stand by her.

Any sadness brought by Stuart dissipated. She had encountered so many kind people in this world. No matter what happened with Stuart, she shouldn't let a man bring her down. She resolved to study hard, to live well, to take care of Norbert Hetfield, and to become someone like Melvin. Morwenna suddenly smiled, her eyes curving, "The food is really delicious today!"
