Ch. 102: Mr. Edwards' Unraveled Life chapter 102
Chapter 102
No matter how upset you are, you shouldn't take it out on your health.
Kevin couldn’t hear Kian's words; his mind was consumed with thoughts of Norah and how determined she looked as she walked away from him.
He needed to see her again.
"Call Norah," Kevin said, his face cold and serious.
Kian hesitated for a moment, unsure of Kevin's intentions. He was surprised to see Kevin's marriage in such turmoil. He always thought that Mr. Edwards respected Norah’s wishes and kept their relationship private.
He used to believe that Kevin truly liked Norah, but now it seemed that wasn't entirely the case.
Despite his thoughts, Kian took out his phone. "Okay, Mr. Edwards."
He called Norah, who was at home helping her parents settle in after her father, Jack, insisted on being discharged from the hospital. The doctor had assured them that his fracture wasn't too severe.
Norah was also dealing with a call from the police station, where Linda and Sierra were being held on charges of defamation. The police had asked if she wanted to press charges against them.
As Norah reached home, she thought it was another call from the police station and said to her mother, Gwen, "Mom, I’ll take this call."
"Alright," Gwen said, thinking that since Norah and Kevin were planning to divorce, it wasn’t appropriate for her to stay at the Edwards household. "Norah, I'll get your room ready here at home. You can stay with us for a while."
Norah nodded, walked outside, and answered the call. "Hello."
"Secretary White," Kian began, but then hesitated, unsure of what Kevin wanted him to say.
Realizing the call wasn't from the police station, Norah asked, "What's going on, Mr. Kian?"
Kevin, with an emotionless face, said coldly, "Tell Norah that my clothes are stained with blood, and it's uncomfortable. I need to change."
Kian relayed the message. "Mr. Edwards says his clothes are stained with blood and he’s feeling uncomfortable. He needs a fresh set."
Norah paused for a moment, confused about why Kevin needed her for this. "If he needs to change, can't you just get him some clothes?" she replied.
Kian glanced at Kevin, who looked displeased. "She said you can change without her help," Kian said softly to Kevin.
Kevin’s face darkened. "Tell her there are plenty of clothes at home—she should be the one to get them."
Kian passed on the message.
Norah, growing more frustrated, said, "I'm not at the Edwards house right now. I’m at my own home and busy."
Kian relayed her response carefully. "Mr. Edwards, Secretary White says she’s not available."
"I know you don’t know where things are," Kevin said, slightly annoyed. "Tell her I want to wear that white checkered sweater. Only she knows where it is."
Kian conveyed Kevin’s request.
Norah sighed and replied, "The clothes are stored in the left side of the cloakroom. The maid should be able to find them easily."
Kian repeated this to Kevin, who still seemed dissatisfied. "And the camel-colored coat?" he asked.
"It's hanging in the closet," Norah answered.
Kevin then said, "Forget the sweater. Get me a suit and find that blue tie—the one with the vertical pattern."
Norah, tired of the back-and-forth, replied, "The tie is in the twenty-eighth slot of the tie box."
She added quickly, "All the suits and shirts, except for the ones sent for dry cleaning, are in the wardrobe. The ties are organized by color in the tie box. Everything is easy to find."
Norah’s precise answers left Kevin momentarily speechless. She knew his wardrobe inside out, recalling every detail without hesitation.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Kian?" Norah asked, sensing the silence on the other end.
Kian was surprised by her detailed knowledge. He looked at Kevin, who was visibly upset—not because she made a mistake, but because she hadn’t made any at all.
Norah realized that Kevin was just looking for an excuse to bother her. She decided not to drag it out any further. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up now."
Before Kian could respond, Norah ended the call.
She took a deep breath. In the past, if Kevin needed something, she would have rushed to get it for him without question. Refusing him felt difficult, but she knew she had to be firm.
Kian turned to Kevin and said cautiously, "Mr. Edwards, Secretary White has ended the call."
Kevin’s expression darkened even more. This wasn’t the reaction he expected from Norah. She seemed so indifferent, so different from her usual self.
Just then, Norah’s phone rang again. It was Kian.
"Secretary White," he said, "Mr. Edwards asked the maid to look for the sweater he wanted, but they couldn't find it. He needs you to come in person."
Norah frowned. "They couldn’t find it? That’s impossible."
"Mr. Edwards is getting cold," Kian said, almost pleading. "His condition isn’t great, and if he catches a fever, the wound might get infected. You know how particular he is. No one understands him like you do. Please think about Mr. Edwards."
Hearing this, Norah hesitated. Despite everything, she knew Kevin was injured because of her. Ignoring him completely wasn’t something she could do.
"Alright," she finally said. "I’ll come by and get it for him."
