Chapter 226
Boom! A loud noise out of the bluel
Stuart pressed the bouquet right into the woman’s face, pinning her against the wall with such force that it echoed through the room. He then discarded her onto the floor like trash. The woman lay there, bloodied, her face punctured by the thoms of the roses, the bouquet
tom apart
Cleaning his hands with a look of disgust, Stuart spoke in a cold voice, “Throw her out. If I ever catch anyone trying to ride on my coattails again, they’ll wish they hadn’t.”
Stuart’s actions were ruthless, unaffected by whether the person was male or female.
The woman was petrified, too scared to make a sound, fearing for her life in that moment.
A man in camo gear with a buzz cut and earrings quickly dragged her away.
Stuart, after vigorously wiping his hands, forcefully took Morwenna into his arms, dragging her back into the room.
Morwenna was taken aback by Stuart’s sudden violent outburst, yet she resisted.
Had her left hand not been hurt, Stuart might have struggled to restrain Morwenna.
Placing Morwenna on the couch, Stuart knelt before her.
The couch was somewhat high, making Stuart appear shorter as he knelt before Morwenna.

In a soft voice, Stuart explained, “Kiddo, I haven’t touched another woman, nor do I intend to.”
This calm voice was totally different from his earlier rage.
Morwenna’s resistance lessened.
Everyone in the room paused. What was this scene?
They saw Stuart humbly explaining himself to a woman?
Stuart was always aloof, looking down on others. When had a woman ever been above him?
Fletcher wasn’t surprised at all. A smitten Stuart was capable of anything.
Ignoring what others might think, Stuart continued, “Kiddo, remember when you wanted to find a job at the bar? I asked them to spare this woman. It wasn’t for her sake, I just didn’t want you to see the darker side of things. I have nothing to do with her.”
Morwenna’s expression softened considerably
She was there when Stuart saved the woman, knowing it was merely a coincidence.
Sitting high, she looked down at Stuart.
Since when had Stuart started patiently explaining things to her? Initially, Stuart never bothered to explain anything.
Once Stuart made up his mind, no matter what she said, he wouldn’t budge, acting like a complete tyrant.
Now, Stuart waited patiently for Morwenna’s response, showing no sign of impatience.
Seeing this, everyone finally understood.
–
Stuart was indeed willing to engage with women, but there was only ever one from beginning to end the recently notorious Morwenna. Hadn’t Fletcher, the fox, refer to Stuart as her man?
Realizing this, they feared for Stuart if Morwenna didn’t forgive him.
They quickly jumped in to explain.
“So that’s what happened. That woman really was something. You were kind enough to ask Stuart to help her, and she went around claiming Stuart was interested in her, causing all this misunderstanding.”
“Morwenna, don’t get it wrong. Stuart has really been a saint all these years, not even touching another woman. We only ended up in this situation because of a misunderstanding and fear that Stuart would end up alone, so we made such jokes.”
“Yeah, you can trust us. I swear on my hohor, Stuart’s been clean as a whistle, never messing with women, and he’s nearly thirty.”
