Chapter 228
The guys all caught on to what Stuart meant.
This girl was Stuart’s sweetheart. And this time, he was seriously.
Stuart and Morwenna headed home first.
Fletcher tried to slip away, but the guys weren’t having any of it.
As soon as Stuart and Morwenna were out of sight, they comered Fletcher.

“We were this close to a disaster today!”
Fletcher played innocent 1 did tell you guys. I mentioned Stuart was head over heels for a girl, planning a future together and all.”
That caused a moment of silence – it seemed he had mentioned it
But who the heck would have taken him seriously? They all thought it was a joke!
Fletcher couldn’t help but want to laugh, remembering his own shock at the news.
He wasn’t about to be the only one stunned; everyone had to have a taste of it.
Grinning, he said, “Next time you see Morwenna, remember your manners. A friendly heads–up: keep your scheming to yourselves around her.

Unable to spend time with Norbert meant spending more time with Stuart.
With her left hand still healing. Morwenna couldn’t do much else anyway.
But that meant her and Stuart’s bond grew stronger.
Stuart was exceptionally kind to Morwenna, patient and gentle, just like she’d always wished for in a boyfriend
Time flew by. Two months at Rosefrost Hollow had passed, and Morwenna’s hand was nearly healed, though her fingers remained Bomewhat stiff, marked by a scar

So much had happened in two months; it felt like years.
Norbert, always bustling around the younger family members, seemed to finally have a moment to breathe these past few days. He took charge of Morwenna’s school preparations, not allowing anyone else to interfere
Norbert’s voice was constantly heard around the estate.
“Quinlan, load all these snacks into the car for Wenna to take to school tomorrow.”
That quilt is too thin, go buy a new, thicker one, and make sure all her living essentials are packed.”
What about her clothes? The ones I had custom–made for Wanna, poek several sets.”
