Morwenna had just opened her mouth to say something when the chatter around her silenced any


    attempt at conversation.


    Seeing Morwenna''s struggle to speak, Stuart, who had been patiently waiting for her to talk,


    suddenly stood up and made his way over to the group, doling out a swift kick to each of the men in


    the booth.


    Fletcher, who had been lingering by the door and had stayed quiet, managed to avoid the ordeal.


    Instantly, the group calmed down, and the room fell into silence.


    Stuart, with a gentle gaze, turned to Morwenna and asked, "What did you want to say?"


    All eyes in the room shifted to Morwenna, causing her to squirm ufortably. She nudged Stuart,


    "Don''t just kneel there, get up."


    Knowing it was all a big misunderstanding and not Stuart''s fault, Morwenna wasn''t one to make a


    fuss over nothing.


    Stuart stood up and took a seat next to her. He had long realized that Morwenna was more about


    kindness than confrontation, and believed in clearing up misunderstandings through conversation


    because, after all, that''s what words were for.


    Morwenna was his girl, and for her, he''d put his pride aside.


    Seeing Stuart finally sit down, everyone let out a sigh of relief. His sudden blow up had freaked


    them out, but thankfully, his anger disappeared as fast as it showed up.


    Stuart nced around the room, his voice cold but clear, "I''ve got no interest in other women. If


    there''s a next time... well," he let out a menacing chuckle that sent shivers down everyone''s spine,


    making it clear that a next time would have dire consequences.


    Quickly, the men assured him there wouldn''t be.


    "It was all a misunderstanding," they pleaded, "We were deceived by that woman. But don''t worry,


    we know who thedy of the house is now."


    Though Stuart didn''t mention their marital status, they were calling her thedy of the house now,


    following Fletcher calling Stuart her man earlier.


    Stuart, with a rare patience and gentleness in his voice, introduced the men to Morwenna, "Wenna,


    these guys are close friends of ours."


    Fletcher couldn''t help but roll his eyes internally. Stuart had reserved the nickname ''Wenna'' for


    himself, marking the evolution of their rtionship through the pet names he had for her.


    Little brat, Morwenna, kiddo, Wenna, who knew what’d be next.


    Seeing Stuart shooting a nce at him, Fletcher began, "Morwenna, the guy in the camo gear is


    Jack from the military; the shy one is Matthew, an actor, believe it or not; the pretty boy is Brian,


    looks harmless but watch out; and the quiet one is Samuel, his family''s in real estate."


    After Fletcher''s introductions, they all greeted Morwenna with a respectful, "Nice to meet you!"

    Despite her initial bad impression, Morwenna responded politely, "Nice to meet you all," her


    sweetness disarming.


    The change in the atmosphere was palpable. Stuart''s clear affection for Morwenna, her gentle


    demeanor, and the respect the men now showed her transformed the evening into a more subdued


    gathering.


    As the night wore on, Morwenna yawned around 10 PM, signaling it was time to wrap up. Stuart


    stood up, his deration clear, "Alright, that''s enough for tonight. Just wanted you to know,


    Morwenna is with me, and she''s not like anyone else."


    Matthew, ever the joker, couldn''t resist asking, "What about Adide?"


    Stuart shot him a look, replying icily, "Adide did me a favor once. But Morwenna is mine. Got it?"


    "Got it, loud and clear!" they chorused, their acknowledgment leaving no room for doubt about


    Morwenna''s ce in Stuart''s life.
