Lately, everyone had been whispering that Norbert''s affection for Morwenna seemed to have


    waned. But honestly, Morwenna couldn''t care less about the gossip. As long as Norbert was happy,


    that was all that mattered to her.


    Now, witnessing Norbert fuss over her college preparations, Morwenna''s heart couldn''t help but


    melt. He was trying to ensure she had everything she might need for her new chapter at Rosefrost


    University, which, thankfully, wasn''t too far from home. This meant she could easily pop back for


    visits.


    Norbert, on his part, seemed to be on a mission to pack up the whole house for her, worrying she


    mightck something essential during her stay at school.


    With a gentle smile, Morwenna reassured him, "Norbert, Rosefrost University is just a stone''s throw


    away. I cane home whenever I want. Really, you''ve packed more than enough. I''ll be fine."


    Finally convinced, Norbert ceased his preparations.


    The younger Hetfields, however, were puzzled by Norbert''s recent doting behavior. Lily, green with


    envy, muttered to Rose, "Wasn''t Morwenna out of favor? What''s with Grandpa making such a fuss


    about sending her off to college? He didn''t even bother when you went, Rose. It''s like he''s moving


    heaven and earth for her."


    Rose, not looking too pleased herself, responded, "My college was miles away, not as convenient


    for a grand send-off. Don''t be petty, Lily. These gestures mean nothing in the grand scheme of


    things. It''s probably for the best that Morwenna leaves the Hetfield estate sooner rather thanter.


    Who knows what trouble her staying might brew."


    The youngest, Ruby, chimed in, "Maybe Grandpa has wanted Morwenna out of the old house for a


    while. Sweeten the deal, so she''s more than happy to head off to college."


    Under Yara''s influence, they were all too focused on the inheritance y, even the youngest ones.


    Ryan, however, remained silent. He saw things differently, believing Norbert genuinely cared for


    Morwenna and her education, just like any parent would.

    But Morwenna wasn''t bothered by their spection. Ever since she became part of the Hetfield


    family and realized the varied motives around her, she never stressed about winning anyone over,


    except for Norbert and Stuart.


    Once everything was packed and ready, Norbert announced, "Alright, that should do it. Wenna, get


    some rest tonight. I’ll take you to college with Stuart first thing in the morning."


    Stuart, who had been quietly observing, suddenly found himself being addressed by Morwenna,


    "Stuart, you don’t need toe tomorrow."


    His expression darkened instantly.


    Morwenna quickly exined, "The campus will be crowded, and you''re too well-known around


    Rosefrost Hollow. Your presence will draw too much attention, and I''d rather not kick off the


    semester with such fanfare."


    It was a diplomatic way of saying that Stuart''s attendance would cause a sensation, not just mere


    attention.


    Stuart''s mood soured further, feeling sidelined.


    "Even if I''m seen, so what? It’s not like I''m a fugitive. The whole of Rosefrost Hollow knows me," he


    thought, frustrated that Morwenna seemed to prefer keeping a low profile.


    Norbert insisted, "Few in town recognize me. I can dress down, wear some sunsses, and drive a


    more inconspicuous car. I gotta see you off, Wenna."


    Morwenna had no objections to that, which only made Stuart''s mood turn grimmer.


    Observing Stuart’s reaction, Norbert couldn''t help but chuckle quietly to himself, remembering the


    days when Stuart was all for keeping their marriage under wraps and maintaining a distance from


    Wenna.
