Chapter 235 Stuart’s mood had visibly improved.. Showing his maturity, Matthew commented, “Stuart and Morwenna have a great bond. She cares so much about Stuart.” Stuart glanced at the few guys on the ground and then at the curious Matthew, stretching lazily before speaking, “That thing about

you wanting to break into showbiz, I’ll have a word with your old man.” Matthew’s eyes sparkled. “Thanks, Stuart, and please extend my appreciation to Morwenna.” Stuart was pleased with Matthew’s tactfulness. Norbert dropped Morwenna off at college. He even went the extra mile by contacting an old friend’s grandson to ensure someone familiar could show Morwenna around during freshman orientation. Feeling awkward about imposing on others, Morwenna quickly said, “Thanks, Campbell, I appreciate it.” Campbell’s head bobbed like a dashboard doll. “Not at all. Don’t mention it.” What a joke. With Norbert following him, hauling bags for the new girl, how could he have the nerve to complain? If he dared, his granddad would kill him. Having a senior student around made the registration process a breeze. Along with Orson and Keegan, Norbert cheerfully moved Morwenna’s things. Once people were out of sight, Campbell wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling the immense pressure lift. It was puzzling how much Norbert adored this girl, going as far as personally seeing her off to college. The group got Morwenna settled into her dorm. Orson and Keegan moved stuff around, and Norbert made the bed for Morwenna. Morwenna quickly stepped forward. “Norbert, I can handle it. Please have some rest.” Another girl in the dorm had already made her bed and was watching. With a warm smile, Norbert approached, handing over a prepared gift. “This is for you, a little welcome present. Wenna’s the only family I’ve got, and she’s too gentle and might get picked on easily. I hope you can look out for her.” At that moment, Norbert shed all semblance of the Hetfield family patriarch, resembling a genuine grandfather, worried about his granddaughter’s welfare at school, wishing he could take care of everything for her. The cool–looking girl hastily declined. “I can’t accept it, sir. No worries. We’re classmates. We’ll get along.” Norbert insisted, smiling. “Please take it. It’s nothing expensive, just a small token. I’ve prepared something for everyone in the dorm to ease an old man’s heart.” Given Morwenna’s preference not to draw too much attention, Norbert’s gifts were modest. With such persuasion, the girl thanked him and accepted the gift. It was a girls‘ dorm, so Norbert, with his two bodyguards, couldn’t stay long. He repeated his advice to Morwenna, emphasizing the need to eat well and not skimp on expenses, to not overstudy at the expense of health, and to inform him if anyone bullied her. Morwenna patiently listened and responded, “Okay, I will. I know.” “Well, I gotta go Morwenna walked Norbert to the dorm entrance. Suddenly, Norbert hugged Morwenna. Although Norbert had always been kind to Morwenna, they rarely showed such physical affection, not being related by blood. This time, Norbert hugged her tighter, patted her back, then let go, saying, “Alright, gotta go now. No need to see me off. Focus on your studies.” After he left, Morwenna watched his figure receding, taking a few steps forward involuntarily. She felt a surge of anxiety but quickly suppressed it. It was just college, after all. She could visit Norbert during the holidays.
