How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 284

On their second encounter, Morwenna treated Greta like a friend, sharing everything with her. She felt uneasy then, unsure how to deal with Stuart's other side. But Greta told her, sincerity is enough. Despite having only met twice, Morwenna really liked Greta.

When the phone connected, Greta's cheerful voice came through, "Hey, cutie, remember me?"

Morwenna replied warmly, "Of course, I remember, Greta."

"That's awesome! You remember me. Now, come on out. I'm waiting for you at your school's basketball court."

"What? Now? Greta, you... you're at my school?"

"Yes."

"But the dorm's main door is locked."

"I've already had someone open it. Just come down, I'm waiting at the basketball court. Got something to tell you."

"Okay, I'll come down right away."

Greta laughed, "You trust me just like that? Coming out in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid I'll sell you?"

Morwenna said seriously, "No, Greta, you're a good person."

Greta chuckled, bright and charming.

Of course, if she knew Morwenna also considered Stuart a good person, she might not have laughed.

Morwenna hung up and headed out. Keira asked instinctively, "Wenna, where are you going?"

Morwenna shushed her, whispering, "Got something to take care of, I'll be back soon. You should get some sleep."

Keira, always obedient, didn't ask further, just said worriedly, "Then, Wenna, be careful."

Morwenna hurried downstairs, and as expected, the dorm's main door was open. The dorm supervisor glanced at her but let her go without a word.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Morwenną rushed towards the

e

basketball court. It was late, and the

court was deserted. Usually, most lights would be off by now, but

tonight, several street lamps were lit.

From afar, Morwenna saw Greta, barefoot, trying to play basketball, her heels set aside. Unfortunately, her aim was off. Out of ten shots, not one made it in.

Morwenna ran over, and Greta, out of breath, called out, "Hey, cutie, come help me shoot. I've got to make a basket today, it's so frustrating!" Morwenna took the basketball, casually tossed it, and scored.

Greta: "..."

That seemed even more frustrating.

Morwenna realized this might not have been the best move. She earnestly explained, "I've practiced before, so my aim is better. I couldn't afford meat back then, s when Dwent hunting in the

mountains, I learned to use

and slingshot. Over time, got good at hitting targets, that's why my aim is good."

Morwenna spoke sincerely, not wanting Greta to feel bad about their differences.

Greta could tell, Morwenna had to

hunt for a living in her childhood; what era was this for someone to live so harshly? Thinking back to what she'd heard, this cutie was a student from the mountains sponsored by Norbert. Greta realized Morwenna's upbringing might have been tougher than imagined.

Love

Willing to reveal her poverty just to comfort her, she truly was a gem Stuart had found.

Greta ruffled Morwenna's hair, smiling, "Cutie, how can you be so adorable?"

Morwenna didn't know what she did to make Greta find her adorable.

Greta pulled Morwenna to sit down on the steps nearby. "Morwenna, I came to tell you something. Adelaide, that heartless witch, is coming back." Morwenna sat up straight at once.
