Ch. 100: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 100
Chapter 100
Both families were shocked.
Siena stared at the young woman, stunned. "What did you just say? You’re pregnant with my son’s child?"
Lola felt nervous, unsure of the consequences of her words, but she decided to take a risk and nodded. "Yes… I’m pregnant with Mr. Edwards' child."
This time, everyone heard her clearly—she was carrying Kevin's child.
Jack and Gwen looked horrified, realizing that Kevin had a child with another woman. They were devastated to think of their daughter’s life in the Edwards family.
Siena was secretly pleased. Even though it wasn’t Bianca's child, as long as it wasn't Norah's, it was good news. This child would be an Edwards.
"Is that true?" Siena's expression softened into a smile. "How far along are you?"
Lola was surprised by Siena's reaction. She hadn’t expected it to be this easy. Feeling relieved, she answered, "Just over a month."
Siena nodded, smiling. "No wonder you’re not showing yet. Be careful during these first few months. I can’t believe Kevin didn’t tell me!"
She took Lola's hand, acting warmly toward her.
Kevin’s face was cold. "It’s too soon to jump to conclusions," he said.
Siena was eager to support anyone who could humiliate Norah, especially if a child was involved. "Kevin," she said, "no woman would lie about something like this. Did you sleep with her?"
Kevin didn’t answer right away. Even though Lola had been to his room, something didn’t feel right to him. He wanted to investigate further. There was no security footage, but the timing lined up, and now Lola was pregnant.
Kevin glared at Lola, his expression icy. She felt his stare and instinctively wrapped her arms around her belly, afraid to get too close to him.
Siena pressed on, "Your silence says it all. This child is yours."
Jack and Gwen were devastated, realizing Kevin's involvement.
Gwen turned to Norah. "Did you know about this?"
Norah stayed silent, her eyes taking in the scene. Siena could quickly accept a stranger with Kevin’s child, but she never accepted Norah. Norah realized that this was a sign—it was time to let go.
"Mom," Norah said quietly, "none of this matters anymore."
Kevin's eyes narrowed at Norah's words. Not important anymore? She was ready to walk away, letting go of their three-year marriage. Did she ever truly care?
Gwen sighed, realizing they couldn’t do anything about it. "Let's just forget it," she said.
Siena didn’t want all the blame on Kevin, so she turned it back on Norah. "You’ve been married to Kevin for so long and still no child. Now look at this girl—she got pregnant right away. Don’t blame us for not being supportive!"
Norah knew Siena was just trying to justify her actions. Gwen, feeling insulted, replied, "Your son cheated and fathered a child outside the marriage. That’s what this is!"
Siena fired back, "Don't talk nonsense! Just because your daughter can’t have a child doesn’t mean my son can’t!"
"Enough!" Kevin said, his voice icy.
Siena backed off a little, noticing how pale he was getting. "Alright, I'll stop. You need to rest."
Jack said, "Norah, let’s go. There’s no point in arguing here."
Norah glanced back at Kevin once before turning away without a word. Kevin watched her leave, his eyes filled with pain, but he didn’t say anything to stop her.
"Kevin," Siena said, trying to support him.
Lola rushed to help too, but Kevin pushed them both away, coldly calling, "Kian, come here!"
Kian, who had been waiting nearby, hurried over to support Kevin, leading him back to his room. Siena watched, feeling hurt that her own son never let her get close to him.
Trying to lighten the mood, Siena turned to Lola. "What’s your name?" she asked.
"Lola," she replied, feeling more confident now that she had Siena’s support.
"Where do you live?" Siena continued.
"Mr. Edwards arranged a villa for me," Lola said with a smile.
"Well, you don’t have to stay there," Siena said. "You’re carrying our family’s child now. Come live with me, and I’ll make sure you get the best care."
Lola couldn’t believe her luck. "Are you sure? I don’t want to impose."
"It’s no trouble," Siena said warmly. "You’re family now. I’ll make sure you’re well taken care of for my future grandchild!"
Lola was thrilled at this opportunity. She looked at Kevin nervously, then back at Siena. "Thank you, Aunt Siena," she said shyly.
Siena realized that Lola's quiet and delicate manner reminded her of Bianca, which made her understand why Kevin might be drawn to her.
